Jo Puchhte Hain Ki Ye Ishq-o-ashiqi Kya Hai

jo puchhte hain ki ye ishq-o-ashiqi kya hai

wo jaante nahin maqsud-e-zindagi kya hai

zamir-e-pak KHayal-e-buland zauq-e-latif

bas aur is ke siwa jauhar-e-KHudi kya hai

wafa ki aaD mein kya kya hui jafa hum par

jo dosti yahi Thahri to dushmani kya hai

baja hai fart-e-junun ne hamein kiya ruswa

jamal-e-yar mein aaKHir ye dilkashi kya hai

wufur-e-shauq ki mayusiyan are tauba

dil-e-tabah mein ab aarzu rahi kya hai

agar na jurm-e-mohabbat ki ye saza hoti

to baat baat pe hum se ye be-ruKHi kya hai

na samjho tum meri arz-e-niyaz ko shikwa

main jaanta hun taqaza-e-bandagi kya hai

ata kiya tha jo zauq-e-numud us dil ko

to har qadam pe ye rang-e-shikastagi kya hai

gurez kya main karun naseho ki sohbat se

jahan na kuchh ho ye sohbat wahan buri kya hai

wafa se aur na tark-e-wafa se aap hain KHush

mujhe bataiye phir aap ki KHushi kya hai

fareb-e-hasti-e-mauhum kha raha hun hanuz

mujhe KHabar hai haqiqat yahan meri kya hai

jo gamzan hain sar-e-jada-e-talab 'najmi'

wo jaante nahin duniya mein bebasi kya hai
