wo to baalin pe bhi aae nahin bulwane se
faeda kya dil-e-nadan tere ghabrane se

chahe ek ghunt bhi saqi na de lekin rindo
baat maikhane ki bahar na ho maikhane se

apni manzil pe pahunch jaenge thokar kha ke
rah kabe ko bhi jati hai sanam-khane se

khak kyon chhanta phirta hai bayabanon ki
aap ne ye bhi to puchha nahin diwane se

chand chhinton se kahin bujhti hai dahki hui aag
aur ghabrane laga dil mera bahlane se

aap ab pursish-e-ahwal ki khatir aae
baat bhi jab nahin ki jati hai diwane se

mai-kashi 'soz' ki fitrat mein hai dakhil waiz
rind-mashrab hai na baz aaega samjhane se
