maktab-e-ishq kaa dastur niraalaa dekhaa — Meer Tahir Ali Rizvi

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'ishq mein intihaa ki had na hui
'aashiqi teri mustanad na hui

ishq ki choT kaa kuchh dil pe asar ho to sahi
dard kam ho yaa ziyaada ho magar ho to sahi

biich dariyaa mein utar kar dekhiye
'ishq-dariyaa mein kinaare kuchh nahin

ye mere saathi hain pyaare saathi magar inhein bhi nahin gavaaraa
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se nai tamannaa ke khvaab dekhun
