gar nahīñ ye 'ishq to phir aur kyā shai hai bhalā

jo pas-e-parda rahe aur qalb merā khaa.e hai

gar nahin ye 'ishq to phir aur kya shai hai bhala

jo pas-e-parda rahe aur qalb mera khae hai

jin se ḳhud aap sañbhālā nahīñ jaatā ḳhud ko

un kā dā'vā hai ki vo aa ke sañbhāleñge mujhe

jin se KHud aap sanbhaala nahin jata KHud ko

un ka da'wa hai ki wo aa ke sanbhaalenge mujhe

maiñ tahayya kar ke baiThā thā ki duniyā chhoḌ duuñ

koī koyal 'ain us mauqa' pe gaane aa ga.ī

main tahayya kar ke baiTha tha ki duniya chhoD dun

koi koyal 'ain us mauqa' pe gane aa gai

nāsehā pūchhte phirte haiñ sabab uljhan kā

'ishq gar ḳhud ye kareñ hosh Thikāne lag jaa.eñ

naseha puchhte phirte hain sabab uljhan ka

'ishq gar KHud ye karen hosh Thikane lag jaen

us kī hī mohabbat meñ gire dost ki jis se

ham baat talak karne ko tayyār nahīñ the

us ki hi mohabbat mein gire dost ki jis se

hum baat talak karne ko tayyar nahin the
