kabe ki aarzu hai na but-khana chahiye
mai-khana chahiye dar-e-jaanana chahiye

iman ke imtiyaz ka aaina kufr hai
kabe ke muttasil hi sanam-khana chahiye

wahshat hai aur ishq-e-junun-khez aur hai
zanjir zulf ki pa-e-diwana chahiye

yaksui-e-khayal hai aabaadiyon se dur
diwangan-e-ishq ko virana chahiye

tum jis jagah ho kyon na ho mera wahan guzar
har anjuman mein shama ko parwana chahiye

mai-khwar panw rakhne lage hain sanbhaal kar
saqi phir un ko laghzish-e-mastana chahiye

mai se gharaz na saghar-o-mina se wasta
teri nashili aankh ka paimana chahiye

saqi ke dast-e-faiz ne insan bana diya
ai shaikh ada-e-sajda-e-shukrana chahiye

wa bab-e-mai-kada bhi hai baada bhi jam bhi
'nawwab' sirf jurat-e-rindana chahiye
