mohtasib ne jo nikala hamein maikhane se
dur tak aankh milate gae paimane se

aaj to khum hi laga de mere munh se saqi
meri niyyat nahin bharti tere paimane se

aap itna to zara hazrat-e-naseh samjhen
jo na samjhe use kya faeda samjhane se

main ne chakkhi thi to saqi ne kaha jod ke hath
aap lillah chale jaiye maikhane se

tum zara naseh-e-nadan ko dikha do jalwa
baz aata nahin zalim mujhe samjhane se

na uthe jaur kisi se to wo ro kar bole
be-maza ho gae hum 'ashk' ke mar jaane se
