Ek hamein aawaara kahana koi bada ilzaam nahi;
Duniya waale dil waalon ko aur bahut kuch kahate hain!
Wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki;
Hamein bhi ho gai aadat fareb khaane ki!
Main saare shahar mein tanha nahi hua ruswa;
Saza mili hai tumhen bhi to dil lagaane ki!
Sharaab milati hai lekin hamaari pyaas se kam;
Ajeeb rasm hai saaqi yahaan pilaane ki!
Nazar bacha ke tumhen dekhata hoon mahafil men;
Nazar lage na kaheen tumako is diwaane ki!
