dast-e-saqi sharab hota hai

tum kabhi aable pairon pe saja kar dekho

be-mehri-e-wafa ne puchho na kya diya hai

haalat ki masnad se utar jaenge ek din

jab tak dar-e-aiwan jalaya nahin jata

zist ka khel rachane ki zarurat kya hai

ye jo Thahraw hai rawani mein

rozana koi kasa gadai ka uTha kar

kabhi dhire kabhi ujlat se kiya jata hai

alam zindagi mein kama kar to dekho

muKHtasar shab ki tawalat nahin ki ja sakti

sukh ki bohtat hai zindagi zaKHm de

bhar jaane do zara mera zarf-e-jigar abhi

bana kar saneha koi tamasha ye karaata hai

zindagani mein hai KHushi tum se
