Aashikon ko mohabbat ke alava

Aisi kiran hoon, jise suraj ne kabhi apna nahin samjha,
Aisi khusbu hoon, jise phoolon ne apna nahin samjha.
Aisi dhadkan hoon, jise dil ne kabhi apna na samjha,
Lekin khushnaseeb hoon, jo is sharabi ko maikhane ne apna samjha.

Madhhosh hum hardam raha karte hain,
Aur ilzaam sharaab ko diya karte hain.
Kasoor sharaab ka nahi unka hai yaron,
Jinka chehra hum har jaam mein talaash kiya karte hain.

Ishq-a-bewafai ne daal di hai aadat buri,
Main bhi sharif hua karta tha is zamane mein,
Pehle din shuru karta tha masjid mein namaaz se,
Ab dhalti hai shaam sharab ke sath mehkhane mein.
