jo bashar har waqt mahw-e-zat hai
qalb us ka lam-yazal miraat hai

jis ko shaghl-e-nafi-o-isbaat hai
wo hi sahib-dil hai khush-auqat hai

sahw hota hai kabhi hota hai mahw
kya maze ka apna ye din-raat hai

na-murad-e-dahr fard-e-dahr hai
wo jahan mein qazi-ul-hajat hai

hon sifat-e-nafs jis ke qalb-e-ruh
wo bashar kab hai wo husn-e-zat hai

sahab-e-nisbat ka rutba hai buland
garche zahid sahabuddawat hai

bast mein jab qabz ka daura hua
hai qayamat naza ki sakraat hai

wo tayyun hi ke phande mein raha
jo yahan paband-e-mahsusat hai

mughbacho ho jao tum bhi be-niyaz
pir-e-mugh to qibla-e-hajat hai

hum bhi hain 'saqi' talash-e-yar mein
wo jo mil jae to phir kya baat hai
