maza shabab ka jab hai ki ba-khuda bhi rahe
buton ke sath rahe aur parsa bhi rahe

mazaq-e-husn-parasti qubul hai mujh ko
agar nigah haqiqat se aashna bhi rahe

nizam-e-dahr juda kar raha hai donon ko
main chahta hun kali bhi rahe saba bhi rahe

kahan se jaan bache jab wo shokh-e-sehr-nigah
jafa-shiar bhi ho mail-e-wafa bhi rahe

mujhe mila hai wo rangin-ada muqaddar se
jo dil mein jalwa-numa bhi rahe chhupa bhi rahe

chaman-parast wahi hai jis ka zauq-e-salim
gulon ke sae mein kanton se khelta bhi rahe

wo rind-e-pak-tabiat hai aap ka 'shair'
sharab bhi na piye aur jhumta bhi rahe
