ishq mein hua un ke dushman ek jahan apna

ishq meñ huā un ke dushman ik jahāñ apnā

dard-e-dil kareñ kis se jā kar ab bayāñ apnā

rakhte haiñ zabāñ lekin baat kar nahīñ sakte

haal bazm meñ us kī ab hai sham.a saañ apnā

haif to ye aatā hai chal diye dam-e-bismil

ye bhī to na samjhe vo hai ye nīm-jāñ apnā

dekheñ ham nahīñ hotā kis tarah asar un ko

gosh-zad ho gar un ke nāla-o-fuġhāñ apnā

thī yahī ḳhushī un kī is liye sunā ham ne

jān-o-dil kiyā kaise vaqf-e-imtihāñ apnā

mahvashoñ ke bin dekhe dil hai apnā sad-pāra

chaak kyā dikhāvegā aa ke yaañ katāñ apnā

kaam kyā hai nāseh ko kyuuñ vo aayā samjhāne

de diyā jise chāhā dil thā haañ jī haañ apnā

rashk-e-bāġh-e-jannat hai vo galī jahāñ ke ham

yaar rahne vaale haiñ dil lage kahāñ apnā

ek dam meñ deñge ham bas dhueñ bikher us ke

ho gayā to hone do dushman āsmāñ apnā

bhuul jaa.e sab sīmāb be-qarāriyāñ apnī

dekhe ḳhvāb meñ bhī gar ye dil-e-tapāñ apnā

'aish' us jafā-jū se kahiye ai sitam-pesha

tā-kujā koī rakkhe dard-e-dil nihāñ apnā

ishq mein hua un ke dushman ek jahan apna

dard-e-dil karen kis se ja kar ab bayan apna

rakhte hain zaban lekin baat kar nahin sakte

haal bazm mein us ki ab hai shama san apna

haif to ye aata hai chal diye dam-e-bismil

ye bhi to na samjhe wo hai ye nim-jaan apna

dekhen hum nahin hota kis tarah asar un ko

gosh-zad ho gar un ke nala-o-fughan apna

thi yahi KHushi un ki is liye suna hum ne

jaan-o-dil kiya kaise waqf-e-imtihan apna

mahwashon ke bin dekhe dil hai apna sad-para

chaak kya dikhawega aa ke yan katan apna

kaam kya hai naseh ko kyun wo aaya samjhane

de diya jise chaha dil tha han ji han apna

rashk-e-bagh-e-jannat hai wo gali jahan ke hum

yar rahne wale hain dil lage kahan apna

ek dam mein denge hum bas dhuen bikher us ke

ho gaya to hone do dushman aasman apna

bhul jae sab simab be-qarariyan apni

dekhe KHwab mein bhi gar ye dil-e-tapan apna

'aish' us jafa-ju se kahiye ai sitam-pesha

ta-kuja koi rakkhe dard-e-dil nihan apna
