ishq ne kishvar-e-dil luuTaa hai — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

ai khizaan bhaag jaa chaman se shitaab
varna fauj-e-bahaar aave hai

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

sau baar taar taar kiyaa to bhi ab talak
saabit vahi hai dast o garebaan ki dosti

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

mohabbat ne 'maail' kiyaa har kisi ko
kisi par kisi ko kisi par kisi ko

mushkil-e-ishq mein laazim hai tahammul 'saaqib'
baat bigDi hui banti nahin ghabraane se

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge
