pahle saf-e-ushshaq mein mera hi lahu chaT
pahle saf-e-ushshāq meñ merā hī lahū chaaT
shamshīr-nigah terī ne kyā kyā na kiyā kaaT
gulshan meñ hañsī dekh ke us gul kī yakāyak
hasrat se ga.e ġhunchoñ ke yak-laḳht jigar phaaT
itnā bhī diyā sabr na us nafs-danī ko
kutte kī tarah baiThtā qismat kā diyā chaaT
dhulvā.iye kyā jāma-e-isyāñ ko basāo
chal kuuch meñ dariyā ke kināre haiñ khaḌe ghaaT
ho ġhalla-e-ḳhilqat se na saudā-e-mohabbat
hai ishq kī dukkān so baniye kī nahīñ haaT
ik pashm-nazar un kī meñ hai shaal do-shāla
jo baiThe bichhā boriyā aur oḌh liyā TaaT
sattar do bahattar haiñ tarīq un se alāhada
hai ishq kī manzil kī judī raah judī baaT
ishqiya kahe sher o yā mad.h-o-manāqib
aalam kā banvāḌā kahe shā.ir nahīñ hai bhaaT
tab raf.a ḳhalish ho.e miyāñ dil se 'muhib' ke
kahte haiñ so tujh se kahe dil khol ke dukh baaT
pahle saf-e-ushshaq mein mera hi lahu chaT
shamshir-nigah teri ne kya kya na kiya kaT
gulshan mein hansi dekh ke us gul ki yakayak
hasrat se gae ghunchon ke yak-laKHt jigar phaT
itna bhi diya sabr na us nafs-dani ko
kutte ki tarah baiThta qismat ka diya chaT
dhulwaiye kya jama-e-isyan ko basao
chal kuch mein dariya ke kinare hain khaDe ghaT
ho ghalla-e-KHilqat se na sauda-e-mohabbat
hai ishq ki dukkan so baniye ki nahin haT
ek pashm-nazar un ki mein hai shaal do-shaala
jo baiThe bichha boriya aur oDh liya TaT
sattar do bahattar hain tariq un se alahada
hai ishq ki manzil ki judi rah judi baT
ishqiya kahe sher o ya madh-o-manaqib
aalam ka banwaDa kahe shair nahin hai bhaT
tab rafa KHalish hoe miyan dil se 'muhib' ke
kahte hain so tujh se kahe dil khol ke dukh baT
