aaya jo mausam-e-gul to ye hisab hoga
hum honge yar hoga jam-e-sharab hoga

nalon se apni ek din wo inqalab hoga
dam bhar mein aasman ka aalam kharab hoga

dikhlaenge tujhe hum dagh-e-jigar ka aalam
munh is taraf kabhi to ai aaftab hoga

ai zahid-e-riyai dekhi namaz teri
niyyat agar yahi hai to kya sawab hoga

wo radd-e-khalq hun main gar dub kar marunga
murda mera wabaal-e-dosh-e-habab hoga

wo mast hain idhar to rakhte nahin hain saghar
maghrib se han numayan jab aaftab hoga

ai zud-ranj tujh par jo log jaan denge
rah rah ke turbaton mein un par azab hoga

khun-e-siyaush ek din dikhlaega kharabi
is zulm ka ewaz ai afrasiyab hoga

tu naqd-e-dil ko le kar mukra tu hi thahar ja
roz-e-hisab mere tere hisab hoga

allah re un ka ghussa itna nahin samajhte
kyunkar koi jiyega jab yun itab hoga

dagh-e-jigar ko le kar jaenge hum jo ai dil
jannat mein huriyon ko rahna azab hoga

kya sair hogi wo mah laya agar harara
chehra jo tamtamaya to aaftab hoga

wo rind hun main zahid aane de hashr ka din
us roz bhi ye banda mast-e-sharab hoga

barsat hai bahaaren saqi-e-barq-wash ko
chhaya hua chaman par kaisa sahab hoga

ai mehr-wash to kyunkar parde mein chhup sakega
abr-e-tunak ki surat munh par naqab hoga

ai charkh-e-pir ab to ye haal hai sitam ka
kya hoga jin dinon mein tera shabab hoga

ai mughbachon tumhaara bayan qadam main lunga
zahid ka gar amama rehn-e-sharab hoga

dhoega apne talwe wo but jo sang-pasi
shirin ka be-sutun par naqsha kharab hoga

zulfon ka ishq kyunkar un se bayan karunga
haal-e-dil-e-pareshan gunge ka khwab hoga

sar-kushtagi mein mera kya sath de sakega
ai aasman thahar ja na-haq kharab hoga

furqat mein zabt-e-nala hum se na ho sakega
qabu mein dil na hoga jab iztirab hoga

likkhe ki kya khabar thi ye kaun jaanta tha
laila ke sath padh kar majnun kharab hoga

iman tum 'saba' ka us waqt dekh lena
aankhon mein dam labon par ya bu-turab hoga
