ho pyas salamat mai-e-gulfam bahut hai
mai-khana bahut saqi bahut jam bahut hai

in tafta zulfon ko pareshan na karo tum
ai jaan-e-sitam gardish-e-ayyam bahut hai

kyon tur pe mauquf ho baran-e-tajalli
is jalwa-e-taban ke liye baam bahut hai

ek wo hain ki har zulm rawa un ke liye hai
ek aah bhari main ne to kohram bahut hai

aazadi-e-parwaz pe itra nahin bulbul
gulshan ki fazaon mein abhi dam bahut hai

kuchh soch ke amwaj-e-talatum mein pada hun
ye sach hai ki sahil pe to aaram bahut hai

aasan nahin jada-e-irfan-e-mohabbat
har gam rah-e-shauq mein ibham bahut hai

kyon mujh ko sada deta hai aflak se hatif
is anjuman-e-gul mein abhi kaam bahut hai

mat bech ise misr ka bazar saja kar
is yusuf-e-hasti ka 'sahar' dam bahut hai
