ab dil ko intizar tere faisle ka hai
aur tujh mein aib der talak sochne ka hai

koi nahin sunega burai sharab ki
har shakhs is dayar mein aadi nashe ka hai

ab sang-bariyon ka amal sard pad gaya
ab us taraf bhi ranj mere tutne ka hai

ye sare log khud to hain jaise koi kaman
jo tir chal raha hai kisi dusre ka hai

chehre ka khol saf nazar aa gaya 'aqil'
phir bhi ye shor hai ki qusur aaine ka hai
