ishq phir ishq hai aashufta-sari mange hai

ishq phir ishq hai āshufta-sarī māñge hai

hosh ke daur meñ bhī jāma-darī māñge hai

haa.e āġhāz-e-mohabbat meñ vo ḳhvāboñ ke tilism

zindagī phir vahī ā.īna-garī māñge hai

dil jalāne pe bahut tanz na kar ai nādāñ

shab-e-gesū bhī jamāl-e-saharī māñge hai

maiñ vo āsūda-e-jalva huuñ ki terī ḳhātir

har koī mujh se mirī ḳhush-nazarī māñge hai

terī mahkī huī zulfoñ se ba-andāz-e-hasīñ

jaane kyā chiiz nasīm-e-saharī māñge hai

aap chāheñ to tasavvur bhī mujassam ho jaa.e

zauq-e-āzar to na.ī jalvagarī māñge hai

husn hī to nahīñ betāb-e-numā.ish 'unvāñ'

ishq bhī aaj na.ī jalvagarī māñge hai

ishq phir ishq hai aashufta-sari mange hai

hosh ke daur mein bhi jama-dari mange hai

hae aaghaz-e-mohabbat mein wo KHwabon ke tilism

zindagi phir wahi aaina-gari mange hai

dil jalane pe bahut tanz na kar ai nadan

shab-e-gesu bhi jamal-e-sahari mange hai

main wo aasuda-e-jalwa hun ki teri KHatir

har koi mujh se meri KHush-nazari mange hai

teri mahki hui zulfon se ba-andaz-e-hasin

jaane kya chiz nasim-e-sahari mange hai

aap chahen to tasawwur bhi mujassam ho jae

zauq-e-azar to nai jalwagari mange hai

husn hi to nahin betab-e-numaish 'unwan'

ishq bhi aaj nai jalwagari mange hai
