aankh jab saqi pe dali jaegi
phir tabiat kya sanbhaali jaegi

chutkiyan lene ki wo karte hain mashq
shokhiyon mein jaan dali jaegi

kyon pareshan kar rahi hai bagh mein
bu-e-gul tujh se saba li jaegi

hum idhar hain samne hai aaina
aankh kis kis par nikali jaegi

phul kaise mar-miton ki qabr par
khak bhi tum se na dali jaegi

dekhne hi ko hai bas saqi ki aankh
mai na is saghar mein dali jaegi

dam nikal jaega hasrat se mera
tegh qatil ki jo khali jaegi

dil agar tuta to phir be-kar hai
zulf bigdegi bana li jaegi

kyon gale milti nahin wo tegh-e-naz
id kya ab ki bhi khali jaegi

koi kahta hai ki 'safdar' ye ghazal
nur ke sanche mein dhaali jaegi
