huā hai ishq taaza ibtidā.ī aah hotī hai
mubārak tifl-e-dil kī aaj bismillāh hotī hai
milā jab dirham-e-dāġh-e-junūñ ghabrā ke dil bolā
yahī kyā ishq kī sarkār meñ tanḳhvāh hotī hai
bayāñ kartā nahīñ dil vasf us rū-e-muḳhattat kā
ḳhudā ke ghar meñ tafsīr-e-kalāmullāh hotī hai
faroġh apnā sivā hotā hai zulm-e-charḳh-e-gardāñ se
jo dil jaltā hai raushan aur sham-e-āh hotī hai
