na ghar sukūn-kada hai na kārḳhāna-e-ishq

magar ye ham haiñ ki likhte rahe haiñ nāma-e-ishq

bahut se naam the ab koī yaad aatā nahīñ

hamāre dil meñ rahā dafn ik ḳhazāna-e-ishq

sab apne apne tarīqe se bhiik māñgte haiñ

koī ba-nām-e-mohabbat koī ba-jāma-e-ishq

tumhī pe kyā ki ham ab ḳhud pe bhī nahīñ khulte

to kyā ye kam hai ki ham par khulā fasāna-e-ishq

ka.ī zamāne ga.e aur badal gayā sab kuchh

magar kabhī nahīñ badlā tirā zamāna-e-ishq

sulagte rahne kī lazzat use kahāñ ma.alūm

ki jab talak koī bantā nahīñ nishāna-e-ishq

use phir apnī ḳhabar bhī nahīñ rahī 'ābid'

lagā hai jis ko bhī ik baar tāziyāna-e-ishq
