saqi ne ki nigah to arman nikal gae
jab tak sharab aae kai daur chal gae

ye asr-e-nau hai baada-kashon hosh mein raho
sanbhlo ki mai-kashi ke tariqe badal gae

bad-bakht hain jo kucha-e-mahbub chhod kar
diwana-war jaanib-e-sahra nikal gae

pahchan kar bhi tum mujhe pahchante nahin
do din rahe jo dur to itne badal gae

sharminda mehr-o-mah bhi hain jin ke nur se
aise charagh rah-e-mohabbat mein jal gae

rudad-e-fasl-e-gul na suna mauja-e-nasim
sun kar chaman ka haal kaleje dahal gae

saqi teri nigah mein aisa asar bhi hai
bahke ye baada-khwar jahan par sanbhal gae

'shair' kahan ki fikr kahan ki sukhanwari
jazbaat-e-ishq sher ke sanche mein dhal gae
