jaan-e-afsana yahi kuchh bhi ho afsane ka nam
zindagi hai dil ki dhadkan tez ho jaane ka nam

qatra qatra zindagi ke zahr ka pina hai gham
aur khushi hai do ghadi pi kar bahak jaane ka nam

aaj tu kal koi aur hoga sadr-e-bazm-e-mai
saqiya tujh se nahin hum se hai mai-khane ka nam

intizar-e-fasl-e-gul mein kho chuke aankhon ka nur
aur bahaar-e-bagh leti hi nahin aane ka nam

tab-e-nakaami nahin to aarzu karta hai kya
saqiya tujh se nahin hum se hai mai-khane ka nam

waqif-e-'mulla' na thi bazm-e-khirad ye tai hua
ho na ho ye hai kisi mashhur diwane ka nam
