saqi ki har nigah mein sahba thi jam tha
kal shaghl-e-mai-kashi ka hamein izn-e-am tha

hum kushta-e-khizan sahi ai dosto magar
aasuda-e-bahaar hamara hi nam tha

mere baghair aaj wo kitne hain shadman
jin ko mere firaq mein jina haram tha

dekha jo mai-kade mein use aur badh gaya
meri nazar mein shaikh ka jo ehtiram tha

hum be-niyaziyon ka gila tujh se kya karen
ai dost apna jazba-e-ulfat hi kham tha

un se nazar mili ki nai zindagi mili
un ki nigah-e-naz mein kaisa payam tha

dar-o-rasan ko chum ke qurban ho gaya
'jaanbaz' bil-yaqin ye tera hi kaam tha
