khvaahish-e-sud thi saude mein mohabbat ke vale — Baqaullah 'Baqa'

ishq mein bu hai kibriyaai ki
aashiqi jis ne ki khudaai ki

bulbul se kahaa gul ne kar tark mulaaqaatein
ghunche ne girah baandhin jo gul ne kahin baatein

ishq ne mansab likhe jis din miri taqdir mein
daagh ki naqadi mili sahraa milaa jaagir mein

chhoD kar kucha-e-mai-khaana taraf masjid ke
main to divaana nahin huun jo chalun hosh ki raah

ulfat mein tiri ai but-e-be-mehr-o-mohabbat
aayaa hamein ik haath se taali kaa bajaanaa

kal ke din jo gird mai-khaane ke phirte the kharaab
aaj masjid mein jo dekhaa saahab-e-sajjaada hain

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

Daaltaa hai dhamaal dil goyaa
'ishq ke baa'd is ki baari hai
