na hum mahw-e-khayal abru-e-kham-dar sote hain
sipahi hain zi-bas bandhe hue talwar sote hain

tumhaara sote sote chaunk padna khab gaya dil mein
ki aksar khud-bakhud ho ho ke hum bedar sote hain

ilahi hum ko hai kis ka khayal-e-khwab-o-be-dari
jo lakhon haar uthte hain hazaron yar sote hain

nigah-e-mast-e-saqi mein hai kya dara-e-be-hoshi
ki saghar lag raha hai munh se aur mai-khwar sote hain

na kar waswas dil mein chal wahan 'maruf' be-khatke
ki darban unghta hai aur chaukidar sote hain
