sar-e-mahfil tamasha apna banwana nahin achchha
jahan izzat na milti ho wahan jaana nahin achchha

tere aane se main khush hun tere jaane se afsurda
tera aana to achchha hai magar jaana nahin achchha

hamin se kahte ho diwangi achchhi nahin hoti
kabhi zulfon se bhi kah do ki bal khana nahin achchha

maza to tab hai jab puri tarah se hosh kho baithe
jise apni khabar ho aisa diwana nahin achchha

koi pyasa tadapta hai koi sairab hota hai
are saqi tera dastur-e-mai-khana nahin achchha
