rukh pe gesu jo bikhar jaenge
hum andhere mein kidhar jaenge

apne shane pe na zulfen chhodo
dil ke shiraaze bikhar jaenge

yar aaya na agar wade par
hum to be-maut ke mar jaenge

apne hathon se pila de saqi
rind ek ghunt mein tar jaenge

qafile waqt ke rafta rafta
kisi manzil pe thahar jaenge

muskurane ki zarurat kya hai
marne wale yunhi mar jaenge

ho na mayus khuda se 'bismil'
ye bure din bhi guzar jaenge
