din utarte hi nai sham pahan leta hun

bhang khate hain na ganja na charas pite hain

baat ban jae jo tafsil se baaten kar le

surahi muzmahil hai mai ka piyala thak chuka hai

log kahte hain bahut humne kamai duniya

tamam-duniya ka laKHt-e-jigar bana hua tha

paDh rahe the wo lab-e-hur hamara qissa

tamam husn-o-maani ka rang uDne laga

yun pahunchna hai mujhe ruh ki tughyani tak

ye aur baat ki taKHir se alag karunga

laga ki jaise kisi kanpte hiran ko chhua

din utarte hi nai sham pahan leta hun

jo fan se fikr ki tadbir guftugu karegi

na to hum bahr se waqif na suKHan jaante hain

le ke is ghaT se us ghaT gai mera wajud
