de aayā apnī jaan bhī darbār-e-ishq meñ

phir bhī na ban sakā ḳhabar aḳhbār-e-ishq meñ

jab mil na paayā us se mujhe izn-e-guftugū

maiñ ik kitāb ban gayā iz.hār-e-ishq meñ

qīmat lagā sakā na ḳharīdār phir bhī maiñ

jins-e-vafā banā rahā bāzār-e-ishq meñ

shāyad yahī thī us kī mohabbat kī intihā

mujh ko bhī us ne chun diyā dīvār-e-ishq meñ

tah tak maiñ khoj aayā huā ġharq baar baar

aayā na phir bhī tairnā mañjhdār-e-ishq meñ
