hum aaj-kal hain nama-nawisi ki taw par

hum aaj-kal hain nama-nawisi ki taw par
din-bhar kabutaron ko bhagate hain baw par

rindon ko ek roz to dariya-dili dikha
kashti-e-mai ko chhod de saqi bahao par

likkhun wo sher-e-ariz-e-rangin ki wasf-bin
takhta chaman ka sadqe hon kaghaz ki naw par

kuchh hajat-e-kabab nahin kaif-e-ishq mein
sikhen dil-o-jigar ki lagin hain alaw par

be-minnat-e-jahan-e-tunuk-zarf agar mile
wallah phir to charb hai khasha pulaw par

qane ki munh se nemat-e-duniya khafif hai
bhaari hai paw nan par meri nan paw par

aafat-nishan hain dida-e-fattan ki putliyan
tashhir samri ko karenge ye gaw par

bazicha-gah-e-ishq mein wo hun qimar-baz
donon jahan rakh diye hain ek daw par

kyun kar baraatiyon se na ghunghat kare dulhan
sari sabha miti hai tumhaare banaw par

gul-gasht ki hawas chamanistan ki aarzu
ai be-qarariyo mere dil ko lagaw par

karta hun main jo marham-e-kafur ki talash
karti hai chandni meri sine ke ghaw par

kashti-e-mai lagi rahi saqi labon ke ghat
hum mai-kashon ka qafila hai chal-chalaw par

main jal mein aa gaya wo na aaya fareb mein
main zad pe chadh gaya wo na thera lagaw par

parwane ki tarah na bujha de charagh-e-husn
tuti-e-khat ke aatish-e-rukh se jalao par

ilm-e-safina us ko tujhe ilm-e-sina 'bahr'
tu pul par aur shaikh hai kaghaz ki naw par
