ikaTThe ho ke husn-o-ishq mere dil mein rahte hain
ikaTThe ho ke husn-o-'ishq mere dil meñ rahte haiñ
yahāñ lailā-o-majnūñ ek hī mahmil meñ rahte haiñ
kiyā hai qatl to ham ko kahāñ jaate ho dekheñge
ki qātil baa'd kushtan dīda-e-bismil meñ rahte haiñ
samā sakte na the vo jo zamīn-o-āsmāñ meñ bhī
ye simTe haiñ hamārī aañkh ke jo til meñ rahte haiñ
makāñ se bhī ulfat hai agarche lā-makāñ haiñ vo
pata dete nahīñ apnā ye āb-o-gil meñ rahte haiñ
nikal kar jā nahīñ sakte kahīñ ḳhurshīd se zarre
jo simTe shams meñ rahte haiñ phaile zil meñ rahte haiñ
hayāt-e-'ishq kā mujh se Thikāna pūchhte kyā ho
vo kar ḳhvār-o-rusvā zālim-o-jāhil meñ rahte haiñ
vujūd husn-e-mu'allaq se tahī-dastī nahīñ mumkin
kabhī dast-e-saḳhā meñ gah yad-e-sā.il meñ rahte haiñ
vo apne dekhne vāloñ kī āñkhoñ meñ samā.ae haiñ
ki apnā ghar banā kar dīda-e-mashāġhil meñ rahte haiñ
nahīñ haiñ duur ham ik aan 'ulvī' apne mirzā se
agarche ḳhud haiñ nāqis pahlu-e-kāmil meñ rahte haiñ
ikaTThe ho ke husn-o-'ishq mere dil mein rahte hain
yahan laila-o-majnun ek hi mahmil mein rahte hain
kiya hai qatl to hum ko kahan jate ho dekhenge
ki qatil ba'd kushtan dida-e-bismil mein rahte hain
sama sakte na the wo jo zamin-o-asman mein bhi
ye simTe hain hamari aankh ke jo til mein rahte hain
makan se bhi ulfat hai agarche la-makan hain wo
pata dete nahin apna ye aab-o-gil mein rahte hain
nikal kar ja nahin sakte kahin KHurshid se zarre
jo simTe shams mein rahte hain phaile zil mein rahte hain
hayat-e-'ishq ka mujh se Thikana puchhte kya ho
wo kar KHwar-o-ruswa zalim-o-jahil mein rahte hain
wujud husn-e-mu'allaq se tahi-dasti nahin mumkin
kabhi dast-e-saKHa mein gah yad-e-sail mein rahte hain
wo apne dekhne walon ki aankhon mein samaae hain
ki apna ghar bana kar dida-e-mashaghil mein rahte hain
nahin hain dur hum ek aan 'ulwi' apne mirza se
agarche KHud hain naqis pahlu-e-kaamil mein rahte hain
