hai iztirab dil mein to dil iztirab mein
dala hai tum ne mujh ko ajab pech-o-tab mein

dhundenge ek din mujhe khud jalwa-ha-e-husn
dekhunga main rahenge wo kab tak hijab mein

ek husn-e-barq-pash ki din raat hai talash
apni qaza ko dhund raha hun shabab mein

hum ne junun ko aql kaha aql ko junun
kya nukta-ras tha ishq hamara shabab mein

ajza yahi hain nuskha-e-ab-e-hayat ke
kuchh masti-e-nigah mila do sharab mein

phir ho rahi hai pursish-e-amal roz-e-hashr
yarab saza-e-maut gai kis hisab mein

gesu daraaz mast nazar chehra aaftab
ab kuchh kami nahin hai tumhaare shabab mein

khat mein khari khari bhi sunai hain kuchh unhen
matlab ye hai karen na tawaqquf jawab mein

duniya-e-aql-o-hosh mein 'sahir' kise nasib
wo kaif-e-be-khudi jo hai bazm-e-sharab mein
