Ishq kyaa chiiz hai ye puuchhiye paravaane se
zindagii jis ko mayassar huii jal jaane se 

maut kaa khauf ho kyaa ishq ke diivaane ko 
maut Khud kaa'npatii hai ishq ke diivaane se 

ho gayaa Dher vahii'n aah bhii nikalii na koii 
jaane kyaa baat kahii shamaa ne paravaane se 

husn be-ishq kahii'n rah nahii'n sakataa zi'ndaa 
bujh gaii shamaa bhii paravaane ke jal jaane se 

khaaye jaatii hai nadaamat mujhe is gafalat kii 
hosh me'n aa ke chalaa aayaa huu'n mayakhaane se

kar diyaa gardish-e-ayyaam ne rusvaa "Sahir" 
mujh ko shikavaa hai yagaane se na begaane se
