maqam-e-admi kuchh kam nahin hai
farishton se to kam aadam nahin hai

abhi dil jal raha hai aa bhi jao
ujala chand se maddham nahin hai

hamari zat par ungli uthae
zamane mein abhi wo dam nahin hai

udata hai hawa mein kyon diwane
ye daman hai koi parcham nahin hai

teri marzi hai saqi jis qadar de
hamein to fikr-e-besh-o-kam nahin hai

buton ki bandagi mein kaun jaane
kahan hai kham kahan sar kham nahin hai

unhen gar naz hai apni pahunch par
to meri bhi rasai kam nahin hai

koi kyon gham-gusar 'mehr' hoga
zamana monis-o-hamdam nahin hai
