yahī duā hai yahī hai salām ishq ba-ḳhair
mire sabhī rufqā-e-kirām ishq ba-ḳhair
dayār-e-hijr kī suunī udaas galiyoñ meñ
pukārtā hai koī sub.h-o-shām ishq ba-ḳhair
maiñ kar rahā thā duā kī guzārisheñ us se
so kah ga.ī hai udāsī kī shaam ishq ba-ḳhair
baḌe ajiib haiñ shahr-e-junūñ ke bāshinde
hamesha kahte haiñ ba.ad-az-salām ishq ba-ḳhair
ye rah zarūr tumhāre hī ghar ko jaatī hai
likhā huā hai yahāñ gaam gaam ishq ba-ḳhair
bayān kī hai ġhazal-vār dāstān-e-ishq
so is kitāb kā rakkhā hai naam ishq ba-ḳhair
ufuq ke paar mujhe yaad kar rahā hai koī
abhī milā hai udhar se payām-e-ishq ba-ḳhair
