ye khayal-e-shauq-parwar dil ke bahlane ko hai
koi be-rukh be-rukhi se baz aa jaane ko hai

ye muamma mai-kade mein kaun suljhane ko hai
be-khudi hushyar ko aur hosh diwane ko hai

raaz-e-dar-parda ka parda khud-bakhud uth jaega
bas faqat un se nazar do-chaar ho jaane ko hai

mai-kade mein shaikh ka aana shagun achchha nahin
hosh ki le saqiya rindon ko bahkane ko hai

sadgi shashdar khadi hai shokhiyan sina-sipar
ek ada jaane ko hai aur ek ada aane ko hai

allah allah ye nizam-e-hosh-o-masti saqiya
hosh mastane ko hai aur kaif paimane ko hai

jam-o-mina ki zarurat hi nahin 'majruh' ko
mast nazron se koi madhosh farmane ko hai
