tere maikhane mein aise bahut mai-khwar baithe hain
mai-e-hasti jo pi kar saqiya bezar baithe hain

tadapta hun to mujh ko zindagi ka lutf aata hai
na jaane sar jhukae kyon mere gham-khwar baithe hain

nazar aati hai barq-e-tur maikhane mein ai zahid
magar dair-o-haram mein talib-e-didar baithe hain

dil-e-pur-dagh ko dekho na tum chashm-e-hiqarat se
liye pahlu mein hum ek gulshan-e-be-khar baithe hain

hukumat ki ye khubi hai ki apni khubi-e-qismat
hamare mulk mein ahl-e-hunar be-kar baithe hain

haram hai rah jannat ki meri jannat hai mai-khana
wahan din-dar baithe hain yahan mai-khwar baithe hain
