sharab-e-arghawan ko shaikh pahle to bura samjhe
magar phir rafta rafta sehat-afza shorba samjhe

nazar-bazon ko bhi dhoka hua fashion ke chhal-bal se
wo aksar achchhi khasi chhokri ko chhokara samjhe

ilaj-e-dard-e-dil mera kare wo chaaragar kaise
jo dil gurde ko samjhe aur jigar ko phephda samjhe

hazaron sal se police ki taftish jari hai
hasinon ki kamar ko wo hamesha lapata samjhe

hua kashmir aur punjab mein ab tak na samjhauta
idhar ye kangdi mange udhar wo kangda samjhe

zaban-e-yar-e-man turki wa man turki nami danam
maza kahne ka jab hai ek kahe aur dusra samjhe

tere aashiq tere kuche ko teri sard-mehri se
kabhi kashmir samjhe to kabhi colombia samjhe

na bandho gol chakkar apne sar par zulf-e-pechan ka
kahin aisa na ho 'bulbul' usi ko ghonsla samjhe
