nigāh-e-mast-e-sāqī kā salām aayā to kyā hogā

agar phir tark-e-tauba kā payām aayā to kyā hogā

haram vaale to pūchheñge batā tū kis kā banda hai

ḳhudā se pahle lab par un kā naam aayā to kyā hogā

mujhe manzūr un se maiñ na bolūñgā magar nāseh

agar un kī nigāhoñ kā salām aayā to kyā hogā

chalā hai aadmī tasḳhīr-e-mehr-o-māh kī ḳhātir

magar sayyād hī ḳhud zer-e-dām aayā to kyā hogā

mujhe tark-e-talab manzūr lekin ye to batlā do

koī ḳhud hī liye hāthoñ meñ jaam aayā to kyā hogā

mohabbat ke liye tark-e-ta.alluq hī zarūrī ho

mohabbat meñ agar aisā maqām aayā to kyā hogā

jahāñ kuchh ḳhaas logoñ par nigāh-e-lutf hai 'darshan'

agar us bazm meñ daur-e-avām aayā to kyā hogā
