hai muamma yā kahānī ishq hai
aa.ine se ḳhud-kalāmī ishq hai
hañste hañste ro paḌe phir hans diye
kyā yahī aadat purānī ishq hai
ik tamannā ne jagāyā thā junūñ
us junūñ kī pāsbānī ishq hai
zikr us kā nā-mukammal hai magar
ḳhāmoshī kī tarjumānī ishq hai
maut ke sab zāviye paḌhtī huī
ham sabhī kī zindagānī ishq hai
us kī jab shīrīñ-bayānī ko sunā
maan baiThe jāvedānī ishq hai
