yun kahne ko khanjar ko bhi khanjar hi kahenge
par kya tere abru ke barabar hi kahenge

zahid jo maza mai mein yahan puchh na hum se
kahna hai jo kuchh wo lab-e-kausar hi kahenge

mana na karen wada hamein bhi to kahen wo
gar kuchh nahin haal-e-dil-e-muztar hi kahenge

sunne ki koi had bhi hai han puchhte kyon ho
hum haal bhi apna sar-e-mahshar hi kahenge

do lafzon mein kyunkar ho na sunna hai na suniye
hum kahne ko baithenge to daftar hi kahenge

sunne ko to kya jaaniye kya kya na sunenge
kahne ko to haal-e-dil-e-muztar hi kahenge

is mein teri mizhgan ho ki ho gosha-e-abru
chubh jae jo dil mein use nashtar hi kahenge

yun kaam kiye us ne hazaron hamein kya kaam
hum aaina-sazi-e-sikandar hi kahenge

tum ne bhi to dekha hai 'fahim' us ko kaho na
hum apni si kahne ko barabar hi kahenge
