saqi tere saghar ke talabgar bahut hain
mai kam hai magar bazm mein mai-khwar bahut hain

chaukhat se teri uth ke na jaenge kahin aur
diwane hain phir bhi ye samajhdar bahut hain

hai un ki bhi aankhon mein tere did ki khwahish
jo hain pas-e-diwar wo khuddar bahut hain

bas jins-e-wafa ki koi qimat nahin milti
mitti bhi jo becho to kharidar bahut hain

kahti hain ye talab mein bahti hui lashen
is ganw mein qatil ke taraf-dar bahut hain

is dil ke dhadakne ki sada kaun sunega
is mulk mein inton ke parastar bahut hain

koi bhi sar-e-dar nazar aaya na hum ko
kahne ke liye misam-e-tammar bahut hain

waris koi milta nahin ab lauh-o-qalam ka
kahne ko to 'rizwan' qalamkar bahut hain
