kal hum ne bazm-e-yar mein kya kya sharab pi
sahra ki tishnagi thi so dariya sharab pi

apnon ne taj diya hai to ghairon mein ja ke baith
ai khanuman-kharab na tanha sharab pi

tu ham-safar nahin hai to kya sair-e-gulistan
to ham-subu nahin hai to phir kya sharab pi

ai dil-girafta-e-gham-e-jaanan subu utha
ai kushta-e-jafa-e-zamana sharab pi

ek mehrban buzurg ne ye mashwara diya
dukh ka koi ilaj nahin ja sharab pi

baadal garaj raha tha idhar mohtasib udhar
phir jab talak ye uqda na suljha sharab pi

ai tu ki tere dar pe hain rindon ke jamghate
ek roz us faqir ke ghar aa sharab pi

do jam un ke nam bhi ai pir-e-mai-kada
jin raftagan ke sath hamesha sharab pi

kal hum se apna yar khafa ho gaya 'faraaz'
shayad ki hum ne had se ziyaada sharab pi
