ibtidaa-e-ishq hai rotaa hai kyaa - Meer Taqi Meer

ibtidaa-e-ishq hai rotaa hai kyaa

aage aage dekhiye hotaa hai kyaa

qaafile men subah ke ik shor hai

yaani gaafil ham chale sotaa hai kyaa

sabz hotii hii nahiin ye sarzamiin

tukhm-e-khvaahish dil men tuu botaa hai kyaa

ye nishaan-e-ishq hain jaate nahiin

daag chhaatii ke abas dhotaa hai kyaa

gairat-e-yusuf hai ye vaqt-e-aziiz

'Meer' is ko raayegaan khotaa hai kyaa
