gham-e-zamana nahin ek azab hai saqi
sharab la meri haalat kharab hai saqi

shabab ke liye tauba azab hai saqi
sharab la mujhe pas-e-shabab hai saqi

utha piyala ki gulshan pe phir barasne lagi
wo mai ki jis ka qadah mahtab hai saqi

nikal parda-e-mina se dukhtar-e-raz ko
ghata mein kis liye ye mahtab hai saqi

tu waizon ki na sun mai-kashon ki khidmat kar
gunah sawab ki khatir sawab hai saqi

zamane-bhar ke ghamon ko hai dawat-e-gharra
ki ek jam mein sab ka jawab hai saqi

kalam jis ka hai mearaj 'hafiz'-o-'khayyam'
yahi wo 'akhtar'-e-khana-kharab hai saqi
