agar kuchh hosh hum rakhte to mastane hue hote
agar kuchh hosh ham rakhte to mastāne hue hote
pahuñchte jā lab-e-sāqī kuuñ paimāne hue hote
abas in shahriyoñ meñ vaqt apnā ham kiye zaa.e
kisī majnūñ kī sohbat baiTh dīvāne hue hote
na rakhtā maiñ yahāñ gar ulfat-e-lailā nigāhoñ kuuñ
to majnūñ kī tarah aalam meñ afsāne hue hote
agar ham āshnā hote tirī begāna-ḳhūī siiñ
barā-e-maslahat zāhir meñ begāne hue hote
zi-bas kāfir-adāyoñ ne chalā.e sañg-e-be-rahmī
agar sab jam.a kartā maiñ to but-ḳhāne hue hote
na kartā zabt agar maiñ girya-e-be-iḳhtiyārī kuuñ
guzartā jis taraf ye puur vīrāne hue hote
nazar chashm-e-ḳharīdārī siiñ kartā dilbar-e-nādāñ
agar qatre mire aañsū ke durdāne hue hote
mohabbat ke nashe meñ ḳhaas insāñ vāste varna
farishte ye sharābeñ pī ki mastāne hue hote
evaz apne garebāñ ke kisī kī zulf haat aatī
hamāre haat ke panje magar shāne hue hote
tirī shamshīr-e-abrū siiñ hue sanmukh va illā na
ajal kī teġh siiñ jyuuñ aarā dandāne hue hote
maza jo āshiqī meñ hai so māshūqī meñ hargiz niiñ
'sirāj' ab ho chuke afsos parvāne hue hote
agar kuchh hosh hum rakhte to mastane hue hote
pahunchte ja lab-e-saqi kun paimane hue hote
abas in shahriyon mein waqt apna hum kiye zae
kisi majnun ki sohbat baiTh diwane hue hote
na rakhta main yahan gar ulfat-e-laila nigahon kun
to majnun ki tarah aalam mein afsane hue hote
agar hum aashna hote teri begana-KHui sin
bara-e-maslahat zahir mein begane hue hote
zi-bas kafir-adayon ne chalae sang-e-be-rahmi
agar sab jama karta main to but-KHane hue hote
na karta zabt agar main girya-e-be-iKHtiyari kun
guzarta jis taraf ye pur virane hue hote
nazar chashm-e-KHaridari sin karta dilbar-e-nadan
agar qatre mere aansu ke durdane hue hote
mohabbat ke nashe mein KHas insan waste warna
farishte ye sharaben pi ki mastane hue hote
ewaz apne gareban ke kisi ki zulf hat aati
hamare hat ke panje magar shane hue hote
teri shamshir-e-abru sin hue sanmukh wa illa na
ajal ki tegh sin jyun aara dandane hue hote
maza jo aashiqi mein hai so mashuqi mein hargiz nin
'siraj' ab ho chuke afsos parwane hue hote
