Ishq mahi baghair aab

jagte sote ye KHayal aaya
tujh ko socha to ye sawal aaya

tum kahan aur main kahan jaanan
fasle kyun hain darmiyan jaanan

yun mile hum ki mil nahin pae
phul hasrat ke khil nahin pae

barq par nama-bar sawar hua
dhup mein abr saya-dar hua

phir talluq ke tar TuT gae
hum pe sadme hazar TuT gae

bebasi ki ajib sham aai
zindagi misl-e-intiqam aai

phir teri did ki saadat ho
waqt ko id ki bashaarat ho

ghair mumkin hai is tarah hona
gham nahana hai dagh hai dhona

masala aa gaya hai pani ka
yani dariya ki be-zabani ka

qurbat-e-jaan ke mushk hote hi
ek samundar ke KHushk hote hi

dard-e-sahra nasib hai apna
ek wahshat raqib hai apna

silsila dur tak sarab ka hai
ishq mahi baghair aab ka hai
