zahrab-e-tishnagi ka maza hum se puchhiye
guzri hui sadi ka maza hum se puchhiye

ek pal khayal-e-yar mein hum munhamik rahe
ek pal mein ek sadi ka maza hum se puchhiye

shohrat ki be-khudi ka maza aap jaaniye
izzat ki zindagi ka maza hum se puchhiye

kaif-o-nashat jis se mila hum ko barha
is karb-e-agahi ka maza hum se puchhiye

fikr-e-jahan hai aur na lutne ka khauf hai
qallash zindagi ka maza hum se puchhiye

fikr-e-sukhan mein hum ne zamane ki sair ki
'arif' sukhanwari ka maza hum se puchhiye
