nala-e-dil nikal na jae kahin

nala-e-dil nikal na jae kahin
shan-e-hasti badal na jae kahin
sar-e-baalin wo kar gae ehsan
marne wala sanbhal na jae kahin


fauq par bhi nazar zaruri hai
tahat mein dil bahal na jae kahin
hain bahut ahl-e-shauq saf-basta
husn ka war chal na jae kahin


ho idhar bhi nigah pir-e-mughan
saat-e-faiz tal na jae kahin
ho jahan mein hi sar kisi surat
fikr-e-ahd-e-azal na jae kahin


rahiye sabit-qadam gunah sahi
raegan har amal na jae kahin
mustaqil hosh chahiye 'saqi'
aaj ki baat kal na jae kahin
