barmala wo bhi agar hum ko dagha deta hai
dil-e-betab use munh pe suna deta hai

wo sitam-kesh jab aazar naya deta hai
hum samajhte hain ki ulfat ka sila deta hai

ishq ki aag to hai yun bhi fana ka paigham
dil-e-na-fahm abas is ko hawa deta hai

aazma leta hun ahbab ko gahe-gahe
warna dene ko to har chiz khuda deta hai

aur kuchh bhi ho magar is se to inkar nahin
ishq insan ko insan bana deta hai

main jo pita hun bila-nagha sharab ai waiz
kyun tujhe chid hai agar mujh ko khuda deta hai

rahbari wo hai ki aasuda-e-manzil ho koi
warna rasta to har ek shakhs bata deta hai

ab na kyun naz karun apni wafa-keshi par
ab to khud dost mujhe dad-e-wafa deta hai

saqi-e-bazm ka ye khas karam hai 'sahir'
dekhte hi mujhe nazron se pila deta hai
