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
