Poetry of Khawaja Rukunuddin Ishq (Rah)
Chashme me khalq ke gomisle hubab aata hu
Ain dariya hu haqiqat me baha jata hu
Kaif kam mere jo hai mouje hubabe dariya
Mujhi se uthte hai or mai hi baha jata hu.Hu bahu yaar ke sache me dhala jata hu
Rafta rafta teri tasveer hua jata hu
Dost hai dost ka rahzan ye tamasha kya hai
Ishq hu ishq ki rahon me luta jata hu
