ishq ne ghalib nikamma kar diya
varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke

teshe baghair mar na saka kohkan asad
sargashta-e-khumar-e-rusum-o-quyud tha

aashiqi mein miir jaise khvab mat dekha karo
baavle ho jaoge mahtab mat dekha karo

miir kya saade hain bimar hue jis ke sabab
usi attar ke laDke se dava lete hain

pila saqiya mai-e-jaan pila ki main laun phir khabar-e-junun
ye khirad ki raat chhaTe kahin nazar aae phir sahar-e-junun

nā-ravā kahiye nā-sazā kahiye
kahiye kahiye mujhe burā kahiye

tujh ko bad-ahd o bevafā kahiye
aise jhūTe ko aur kyā kahiye

dard dil kā na kahiye yā kahiye
jab vo pūchhe mizāj kyā kahiye

phir na rukiye jo mudda.ā kahiye
ek ke ba.ad dūsrā kahiye

aap ab merā muñh na khulvā.eñ
ye na kahiye ki mudda.ā kahiye

vo mujhe qatl kar ke kahte haiñ
māntā hī na thā ye kyā kahiye

dil meñ rakhne kī baat hai ġham-e-ishq
is ko hargiz na barmalā kahiye

tujh ko achchhā kahā hai kis kis ne
kahne vāloñ ko aur kyā kahiye

vo bhī sun leñge ye kabhī na kabhī
hāl-e-dil sab se jā-ba-jā kahiye

mujh ko kahiye burā na ġhair ke saath
jo ho kahnā judā judā kahiye

intihā ishq kī ḳhudā jaane
dam-e-āḳhir ko ibtidā kahiye

mere matlab se kyā ġharaz matlab
aap apnā to mudda.ā kahiye

aisī kashtī kā Dūbnā achchhā
ki jo dushman ko nāḳhudā kahiye

sabr furqat meñ aa hī jaatā hai
par use der-āshnā kahiye

aa ga.ī aap ko masīhā.ī
marne vāloñ ko marhabā kahiye

aap kā ḳhair-ḳhvāh mere sivā
hai koī aur dūsrā kahiye

haath rakh kar vo apne kānoñ par
mujh se kahte haiñ mājrā kahiye

hosh jaate rahe raqīboñ ke
'dāġh' ko aur bā-vafā kahiye
