wahi saghar wahi sahba wahi mai-khwar hain saqi
nizam-e-nau ke kya sach-much yahi aasar hain saqi

khulus-e-dil hai ya kuchh be-asar ashaar hain saqi
karen kya nazr teri muflis-o-nadar hain saqi

nigah-e-naz ki masti se jo sarshaar hain saqi
wo diwane haqiqat mein bahut hushiyar hain saqi

pila wo jam jis se mushkilen aasan ho jaen
marahil rah-e-ulfat ke bahut dushwar hain saqi

likha diwar ka padh le khamoshi ki sada sun le
badalte daur ke mubham se ye aasar hain saqi

jo kahti thin ki ek din did se sarshaar kar dengi
wahi aankhen bil-akhir mane-e-didar hain saqi

bahut karte hain karne ko to dawe jaan-nisari ka
jo tujh par jaan dete hain faqat do-chaar hain saqi

ajab mahfil hai ye mahfil ajab aalam hai ye aalam
na hum majbur hain saqi na hum mukhtar hain saqi

teri bakhshish ka ye andaz kya hai kuchh nahin khulta
jo hain ahl-e-hunar wo log hi nadar hain saqi

lagi dil ki bujhane ko lipat jate hain shaalon se
ye parwane kahan ke paikar-e-isar hain saqi

jo hote hain asir-e-jam wo mai-kash nahin hote
rahen jo be-piye sarshaar wo mai-khwar hain saqi
