mil jaa.e mai to sajda-e-shukrāna chāhiye
piite hī ek laġhzish-e-mastāna chāhiye
haañ ehtirām-e-ka.aba-o-but-ḳhāna chāhiye
maz.hab kī pochhiye to judāgāna chāhiye
rindān-e-mai-parast siya-mast hī sahī
ai shaiḳh guftugū to sharīfāna chāhiye
dīvāngī hai aql nahīñ hai ki ḳhaam ho
dīvāna har lihāz se dīvāna chāhiye
is zindagī ko chāhiye sāmān-e-zindagī
kuchh bhī na ho to shīsha-o-paimāna chāhiye
o nañg-e-e.atibār duā par na rakh madār
o bevaqūf himmat-e-mardāna chāhiye
rahne de jām-e-jam mujhe anjām-e-jam sunā
khul jaa.e jis se aañkh vo afsāna chāhiye
