ishq meñ ho ke tar-ba-tar jaanā
dil kī ḳhvāhish hai tujh pe mar jaanā
ishq ye hai nahīñ to phir kyā hai
merā chhūnā tirā nikhar jaanā
tujh ko dekhe to phir ye lāzim hai
chāñd ke chehre kā utar jaanā
ye mirā dil hai sañg-e-marmar sā
chāñdnī ban ke tum bikhar jaanā
tū mohabbat kā āshiyāna thā
chhoḌ kar tujh ko ai 'shajar' jaanā
