ishq rasm-o-riwaj kya samjhe
dil ki baaten samaj kya samjhe

jo ada hi ada ho sar-ta-pa
wo kisi ka mizaj kya samjhe

kya samajhta hai haal mazi ko
kal ki baaton ko aaj kya samjhe

tishnagi hi sharab ko jaane
bhuk kya hai anaj kya samjhe

zabt kya jaane mauj masti ko
be-khudi lok laj kya samjhe

kya samajhte hain arsh ko tair
shah bhi takht-o-taj kya samjhe

tu hai 'parwaz' adna sa shair
dard-e-dil ka ilaj kya samjhe
