waslat ki shab mein bhi wahi baqi raha lihaz
ghungat utha na rukh se na un ka gaya lihaz

pilwaega tu baada-e-be-kaif khuld mein
saqi hai baada-noshon ko tera bada lihaz

lo lal dore padne lage chashm-e-yar mein
ab lutf-e-mai-kashi hai ki uthne laga lihaz

shab wasl ki tamam hui baat bhi na ki
aisa bhi kya hijab hai aisa bhi kya lihaz

zahid jama ye bazm mein uthta hi ab nahin
saqi pila sharab ki ab ho chuka lihaz

wo kar chuke ulush to chala daur-e-jam-e-mai
rindon ne shaikh ji ka kiya to bada lihaz

'akbar' jo mohtasib nahin uthta piyo sharab
us ko nahin khayal to rindon ko kya lihaz
