Bala Hi Ishq Lekin Har Bashar Qabil Nahin Hota

bala hi ishq lekin har bashar qabil nahin hota

bahut pahlu hain aise bhi ki jin men dil nahin hota

nishan-e-be-nishani miT nahin sakta qayamat tak

ye naqsh-e-haq jafa-e-dahr se batil nahin hota

jahan men na-umidi ke siva ummid kya ma.ani

sabhi kahte hain lekin dil mira qaa.il nahin hota

taḌapna kis ka dekhoge jo zinda hon to sab kuchh ho

bala-e-ishq ka maara kabhi bismil nahin hota

sada.en de raha huun muddaton se ahl-e-marqad ko

sabhi sote hain lekin yuun koi ghafil nahin hota

sarishk-e-gham ki had sham-o-sahar men mil nahin sakti

umanDte hain jo ye dariya to phir sahil nahin hota

dua de ishq ko ai zulm tu bhi zeb-e-pahlu hai

vagarna kaisa hi paikan ho lekin dil nahin hota

faramoshi hai lekin yaad rakhta hai tire dar ko

dar-e-aghyar par ‘saqib’ kabhi saa.il nahin hota
