bahut mazaak udaate ho tum ghareebon ka madad to karte ho tasveer kheench lete ho

tumhaari aankhoñ ki tauheen hai zara socho tumhaara chaahne vaala sharaab peeta hai

jagah ki kaid nahin thii koi kahii baithe jahaan maqaam hamaara tha ham wahin baithe ameer ae shehar ke aane pe uthna padta hai lihaaza agli safoon men kabhi nahin baithe

mujhe sharaab pilaai gaii hai aankhoñ se meraa nasha to hazaaron baras men utarega

khun pila kar jo she'r paala thaus ne circus men naukri kar li

chhup ga.e vo saaz-e-hasti chhed kar ab to bas awaaz hi awaaz hai

tumne to hukm-e-tark-e-tamanna suna diya kis dil se aah tark-e-tamanna kare koii

ye qatl-e-aam aur be-izn qatl-e-aam kya kahiye ye bismil kaise bismil hain jinhen qaateel nahin milta vahaañ kitnon ko takht o taaj ka armaan hai kya kahiye jahaan sail ko akshar kaasa-e-saail nahin milta

ye aanaa koii aanaa hai ki bas rasman chale aa.e ye milnaa KHaak milnaa hai ki dil se dil nahin milta

nahin ye fikr koi rahbar-e-kaamil nahin milta koi duniya men maanoos-e-mizaaj-e-dil nahin milta
