daur-e-nigaah-e-saaqee-e-mastaana ek hai
paimaane do hain gardish-e-paimaana ek hai
peeta hoon ghoont ghoont mein saanson ke saath saath
saaqee ka aur umr ka paimaana ek hai
jis ashk mein ho ashk-e-nadaamat vahee hai ashk
motee bahut hain gauhar-e-yak-daana ek hai
kasarat kee shaan aur hai vahadat ka rang aur
aabaad hai jo ek to veeraana ek hai
tafareeq husn-e-shama-o-gul mein zara nahin
soz-o-gudaaz-e-bulbul-o-paravaana ek hai
jab sun liya firaaq ka qissa to kah diya
majanu ka aur aap ka afsaana ek hai
tum ko agar hai apanee dil-aaraiyon pe naaz
kaifee bhee apane naam ka mastaana ek hai
