har zaban mein har zaban par ek hi afsana hai

har zabāñ meñ har zabāñ par ek hī afsāna hai

kuchh to hai jo saarā aalam aap kā dīvāna hai

mubtalā vo ḳhud bhī hai jo zāhiran begāna hai

jis kā ġham ahl-e-nazar kī ishrat-e-mastāna hai

e.atibār-e-mā-sivā is raaz se begāna hai

ranj-e-furqat iztirāb-e-husn kā harjāna hai

bā.is-e-tauq-e-asīrī daam hai yā daana hai

us se pūchhā chāhiye jo hosh kā dīvāna hai

qais duniyā kī nazar meñ aaj bhī dīvāna hai

nāz-bardārī kā kitnā muḳhtasar afsāna hai

āstāñ-bosī kī lazzat asvad-e-ka.aba se pūchh

sang samjhā hai jise tū āriz-e-jānāna hai

aap hī kī yaad se dil shaad hai ābād hai

aap jis dil meñ nahīñ vo dil nahīñ vīrāna hai

sāqiyā is bazm-e-fānī meñ vahī hai ḳhush-nasīb

rū-ba-rū jis ke subū hai haath meñ paimāna hai

har zaban mein har zaban par ek hi afsana hai

kuchh to hai jo sara aalam aap ka diwana hai

mubtala wo KHud bhi hai jo zahiran begana hai

jis ka gham ahl-e-nazar ki ishrat-e-mastana hai

eatibar-e-ma-siwa is raaz se begana hai

ranj-e-furqat iztirab-e-husn ka harjaana hai

bais-e-tauq-e-asiri dam hai ya dana hai

us se puchha chahiye jo hosh ka diwana hai

qais duniya ki nazar mein aaj bhi diwana hai

naz-bardari ka kitna muKHtasar afsana hai

aastan-bosi ki lazzat aswad-e-kaba se puchh

sang samjha hai jise tu aariz-e-jaanana hai

aap hi ki yaad se dil shad hai aabaad hai

aap jis dil mein nahin wo dil nahin virana hai

saqiya is bazm-e-fani mein wahi hai KHush-nasib

ru-ba-ru jis ke subu hai hath mein paimana hai
