ishq ka koi KHair-KHwah to hai
ishq kā koī ḳhair-ḳhvāh to hai
tū nahīñ hai tirī nigāh to hai
arz-e-ġham kyuuñ na un se kar dekhūñ
ab bhī thoḌī sī rasm-o-rāh to hai
zindagī ik siyāh raat sahī
āshiqī ik charāġh-e-rāh to hai
roz-o-shab kī haqīqateñ ma.alūm
ik tamāshā-e-mehr-o-māh to hai
tāb-e-jalva mujhe nahīñ na sahī
lekin ik jur.at-e-nigāh to hai
aur iqbāl-e-jurm kyā ho 'shakīl'
thartharāte laboñ pe aah to hai
ishq ka koi KHair-KHwah to hai
tu nahin hai teri nigah to hai
arz-e-gham kyun na un se kar dekhun
ab bhi thoDi si rasm-o-rah to hai
zindagi ek siyah raat sahi
aashiqi ek charagh-e-rah to hai
roz-o-shab ki haqiqaten malum
ek tamasha-e-mehr-o-mah to hai
tab-e-jalwa mujhe nahin na sahi
lekin ek jurat-e-nigah to hai
aur iqbaal-e-jurm kya ho 'shakil'
thartharaate labon pe aah to hai
