kabhi sarsar hai kabhi baad-e-saba hai saqi
zindagi silsila-e-bim-o-raja hai saqi

na kudurat hai kisi se na gila hai saqi
main ne khud apne muqaddar ko likha hai saqi

apne mahaul mein shamil hun main auron ki tarah
mere jine ka magar taur juda hai saqi

mera chehra mere jazbaat ka akkas nahin
mera dil dekh jahan hashr bapa hai saqi

kuchh kahen ahl-e-khirad fikr nahin hai mujh ko
mere aamal khuda dekh raha hai saqi

mufti-o-mohtasib-o-waiz-o-qazi-o-faqih
teri aankhon se kahin koi bacha hai saqi

waqif-e-raaz hai mai-khana-e-hasti ka 'naim'
us ke honton pe magar qufl-e-wafa hai saqi
