ye ishq kya hai rahmat-e-parwardigar hai

ye ishq kyā hai rahmat-e-parvardigār hai

vo ġham atā huā hai jo dil kā qarār hai

duniyā-e-ġham tasavvur-e-dil par nisār hai

ya.anī ki be-niyāz-e-ḳhizāñ ye bahār hai

ai husn-e-dost qaid-e-maqāmāt-e-jalva kyuuñ

ab tuur se bhī haT ke tirā intizār hai

kyā pūchhte ho ishq kī nāzuk-mizājiyāñ

dil ke liye ab un ko tamannā bhī baar hai

va.ade ke saath saath tabassum bhī kyā zarūr

maiñ ḳhud to kah rahā huuñ mujhe e'tibār hai

lillāh iltifāt-e-musalsal se ehtiyāt

dil ko fazā-e-dard bahut sāzgār hai

dāman jhaTak ke dekh zarā mahv-e-kā.enāt

duniyā to kārvān-e-adam kā ġhubār hai

vo ḳhud asīr-e-bazm-e-tasavvur haiñ āj-kal

duniyā-e-ārzū pe mirā iḳhtiyār hai

'shāhid' junūn-e-mahviyat-e-dil batā.ūñ kyā

vo aa chuke haiñ aur mujhe intizār hai

ye ishq kya hai rahmat-e-parwardigar hai

wo gham ata hua hai jo dil ka qarar hai

duniya-e-gham tasawwur-e-dil par nisar hai

yani ki be-niyaz-e-KHizan ye bahaar hai

ai husn-e-dost qaid-e-maqamat-e-jalwa kyun

ab tur se bhi haT ke tera intizar hai

kya puchhte ho ishq ki nazuk-mizajiyan

dil ke liye ab un ko tamanna bhi bar hai

wade ke sath sath tabassum bhi kya zarur

main KHud to kah raha hun mujhe e'tibar hai

lillah iltifat-e-musalsal se ehtiyat

dil ko faza-e-dard bahut sazgar hai

daman jhaTak ke dekh zara mahw-e-kaenat

duniya to karwan-e-adam ka ghubar hai

wo KHud asir-e-bazm-e-tasawwur hain aaj-kal

duniya-e-arzu pe mera iKHtiyar hai

'shahid' junun-e-mahwiyat-e-dil bataun kya

wo aa chuke hain aur mujhe intizar hai
