ishq ishq ho shayad husn mein fana ho kar

ishq ishq ho shāyad husn meñ fanā ho kar

intihā huī ġham kī dil kī ibtidā ho kar

dil hameñ huā hāsil dard meñ fanā ho kar

ishq kā huā āġhāz ġham kī intihā ho kar

nā-murād rahne tak nā-murād jiite haiñ

saañs ban gayā ik ek naala nā-rasā ho kar

ab huī zamāne meñ sheva-e-vafā kī qadr

ālam-āshnā hai vo dushman-e-vafā ho kar

aur bande haiñ jin ko dāva-e-ḳhudā.ī hai

thī hamārī qismat meñ bandagī ḳhudā ho kar

umr-e-ḳhizr ke andāz har nafas meñ paatā huuñ

zindagī na.ī paa.ī aap se judā ho kar

baḌhtā hai na ghaTtā hai marte haiñ na jiite haiñ

dard par ḳhudā kī maar dil meñ rah gayā ho kar

kār-gāh-e-hasrat kā hashr kyā huā yā rab

dāġh-e-dil pe kyā guzrī naqsh-e-mudda.ā ho kar

ishq se hue āgāh sabr kī bhī had dekhī

ḳhaak meñ milā doge der-āshnā ho kar

kī qazā-e-mubram ne zindagī kī ġham-ḳhvārī

dard kī davā pahuñchī dard be-davā ho kar

zindagī se ho be-zār 'fānī' is se kyā hāsil

maut ko manā loge jaan se ḳhafā ho kar

ishq ishq ho shayad husn mein fana ho kar

intiha hui gham ki dil ki ibtida ho kar

dil hamein hua hasil dard mein fana ho kar

ishq ka hua aaghaz gham ki intiha ho kar

na-murad rahne tak na-murad jite hain

sans ban gaya ek ek nala na-rasa ho kar

ab hui zamane mein shewa-e-wafa ki qadr

aalam-ashna hai wo dushman-e-wafa ho kar

aur bande hain jin ko dawa-e-KHudai hai

thi hamari qismat mein bandagi KHuda ho kar

umr-e-KHizr ke andaz har nafas mein pata hun

zindagi nai pai aap se juda ho kar

baDhta hai na ghaTta hai marte hain na jite hain

dard par KHuda ki mar dil mein rah gaya ho kar

kar-gah-e-hasrat ka hashr kya hua ya rab

dagh-e-dil pe kya guzri naqsh-e-muddaa ho kar

ishq se hue aagah sabr ki bhi had dekhi

KHak mein mila doge der-ashna ho kar

ki qaza-e-mubram ne zindagi ki gham-KHwari

dard ki dawa pahunchi dard be-dawa ho kar

zindagi se ho be-zar 'fani' is se kya hasil

maut ko mana loge jaan se KHafa ho kar
