ye buri hai janab ki aadat
chhod dije sharab ki aadat

barq ka kaam phunkna gulshan
muskurana gulab ki aadat

hum nahin the to kis ne dali hai
ye sawal-o-jawab ki aadat

log sab jaante hain duniya mein
dil-e-khana-kharab ki aadat

chand logon mein hum ne dekhi hai
jagne mein bhi khwab ki aadat

raat ki dhun andhera phailana
raushni aaftab ki aadat

dil-e-'masud' ki tarah yaro
tut jaana habab ki aadat
