mujh se saqi ne kahi raat ko kya baat ai 'josh'
yani azdad hain parwarda-e-yak-zat ai 'josh'

mast o begana guzar ja kura-e-khaki se
ye to hai rahguzar-e-sail-e-khayalat ai 'josh'

aur to aur khud insan baha jata hai
kitna pur-haul hai tufan-e-riwayat ai 'josh'

log kahte hain hijabaat nahin juz aayat
kis se kahiye ki ye aayat hain khud zat ai 'josh'

ahl-e-alfaz shariat pe mite jate hain
kis ko samjhaun mashiyyat ke ishaaraat ai 'josh'

dekhiye subh-e-junun zehn mein kab tale ho
aql sunta hun ki hai ek abadi raat ai 'josh'

quwwat-e-kal ke masaleh se aur itne bad-zan
wae bar-daghdagha-e-ahl-e-munajat ai 'josh'

saghar-e-mai hi mein hota hai tulu aur ghurub
aafrin bar-dil-e-rindan-e-kharabaat ai 'josh'

kaun manega ki hain ain-e-mashiyyat wallah
zindagani ke ye bigde hue aadat ai 'josh'

tujh ko kya faqr mein rahat hai ki shahi mein faragh
tu to hai khalwati-e-pir-e-kharabaat ai 'josh'
