SOME COUPLETS ON "ISHQ"
Mohabbat mein miri tanhaaeon ke hain kai unwaan,
Tira aana, tira milna, tira uthna, tira jaana.
Ishq, Mir, ek bhari pathhar hai,
Kab yeh tujh natawaan se uth-ta hai.
Pukhta hoti hai agar maslahit andesh ho aql,
Ishq ho maslahit andesh tau hai khaam abhi.
Ishq se tabiat ne zeest ka maza paya,
Dard ki dawa pai, dard-e-la-dawa paya
Sunte hain ishq naam ke guzre hain ik bazurg,
Hum log bhi faqir usi silsale ke hain.
Umr saari tau kati ishq-e-butaan mein, Momin,
Aakhri waqt mein kya khaak musalmaan honge.
Maayoosi-e-ma-aal-e-mohabbat na poochhieye,
Apnon se pesh aaey hain begaangi se hum.
Dil-ke mu'aamle mei'n nateeje-ki fikr kyaa?
Aage hai ishq jurm-o-sazaa-ke maqaam se.
