Mir Taqi Mir's famous couplet:
ibtidaa-e-ishq hai rotaa hai kyaa
aage aage dekhi_e hotaa hai kyaa
was turned into a duet by Hasrat Jaipuri
ibtidaa-e-ishq me.n ham saarii raat jaage
allaah jaane kyaa hogaa aage...o maula jaane kyaa hogaa aage.
for Hariyali Aur Raasta (1962).
P.S. Though this she'r has gained popular currency in this form, Mir's diiwaan (compiled by Ali Sardar Jafri) records it in a slightly different form:
raah-e-duur-e-ishq se rotaa hai kyaa
aage aage dekhi_e hotaa hai kyaa
