asar-e-ishq se huun surat-e-shama khaamosh — Dil Shahjahanpuri

ham ko bechain kiye jaate hain
haae kyaa shai vo liye jaate hain

ye bhigi raat ye ThanDaa samaan ye kaif-e-bahaar
ye koi vaqt hai pahlu se uTh ke jaane kaa

vaqt-e-rukhsat tasalliyaan de kar
aur bhi tum ne be-qaraar kiyaa

mai-e-kausar kaa asar chashm-e-siyah-faam mein hai
saaqi-e-mast ajab kaif tire jaam mein hai

aaghaaz-e-mohabbat se anjaam-e-mohabbat tak
guzraa hai jo kuchh ham par tum ne bhi sunaa hogaa

main gharq ho rahaa thaa ki tufaan-e-ishq ne
ik mauj-e-be-qaraar ko saahil banaa diyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

ham to apnon se bhi begaana hue ulfat mein
tum jo ghairon se mile tum ko na ghairat aai
