Ishq bhi Aadam say ab baizar hay
ishq bina ziNdagi baikaar hay
ishq hi say ziNdagi hay raNg baraNg
ishq hi say ziNdagi maiN khaar-o-saNg
ishq hi say ziNdagi moojood hay
ishq hi say aadami mehzooz hay
ishq hi say hay asal sooz-e-hayat
ishq hi say ziNdagi-e-kaienaat
kahiN khaar-o-saNg, kahiN tarooN say ishq
kahiN gull-o-lalla, sabza zarooN say ishq
kahiN husn-e-deedah nazarooN say ishq
kahiN shoor-e-mehshar maiN gharooN say ishq
kahiN ishq say seHra maiN baarish hoee
kahiN ishq say soochooN maiN khaarish hoee
kahiN ishq say aaNkhooN say aaNsoo giray
kahiN ishq samandar say darya milay
ishiq kia hay, ek gham-e-baydoosh hay
bulbuloon ka naghma-e-khamoosh hay
