kam-zarf bhi hai pi ke bahakta bhi bahut hai

kam-zarf bhī hai pī ke bahaktā bhī bahut hai

bhartā bhī nahīñ aur chhalaktā bhī bahut hai

allāh kī marzī kā to saḳhtī se hai pāband

hākim kī razā ho to lachaktā bhī bahut hai

kotāh-qadī kahtī hai khaTTe haiñ ye añgūr

lekin gah-o-be-gāh lapaktā bhī bahut hai

parvā hai na kuchh taal kī ne sur kī ḳhabar hai

par saaz pe duniyā ke maTaktā bhī bahut hai

shorīdgī baḌhtī hai dar-e-lailī-e-zar par

dīvār pe ye sar ko paTaktā bhī bahut hai

mahfil meñ to suniye havas-e-jāh pe taqrīr

pahlū meñ yahī ḳhaar khaTaktā bhī bahut hai

'bāqar' jo bhaTaktā hai ma.ānī ke safar meñ

ho sūrat-e-zebā to aTaktā bhī bahut hai

kam-zarf bhi hai pi ke bahakta bhi bahut hai

bharta bhi nahin aur chhalakta bhi bahut hai

allah ki marzi ka to saKHti se hai paband

hakim ki raza ho to lachakta bhi bahut hai

kotah-qadi kahti hai khaTTe hain ye angur

lekin gah-o-be-gah lapakta bhi bahut hai

parwa hai na kuchh tal ki ne sur ki KHabar hai

par saz pe duniya ke maTakta bhi bahut hai

shoridgi baDhti hai dar-e-laili-e-zar par

diwar pe ye sar ko paTakta bhi bahut hai

mahfil mein to suniye hawas-e-jah pe taqrir

pahlu mein yahi KHar khaTakta bhi bahut hai

'baqar' jo bhaTakta hai maani ke safar mein

ho surat-e-zeba to aTakta bhi bahut hai
