main wo aatish-e-nafas hun aag abhi
khirman-e-barq mein laga dunga

rutho mujh se na wo bala hun main
roni surat ko bhi hansa dunga

tu uthae jo khanjar-e-pur-kham
gardan apni wahin jhuka dunga

aah se arsh ko hila dunga
kungar-e-charkh ko jhuka dunga

na chalo mujh se tum raqibon chaal
ungliyon par tumhein nacha dunga

waqt rone ke aah-e-sozan se
daman-e-abr ko jala dunga

aage mere na shekhi mar ai shaikh
raat ka majra suna dunga

aah ko meri be-asar na kaho
main tamasha abhi dikha dunga

tum jo har roz kahte ho mar-mar
ek din mar ke bhi dikha dunga

dusre ko jo doge dil mein bhi
dil ke naqsh-e-wafa mita dunga

shaikh chal to sharab-khane mein
main tujhe aadmi bana dunga

'mashriqi' de agar wo jam-e-sharab
dil se gham main abhi mita dunga
