meri sahba-parasti morid-e-ilzam hai saqi
mirī sahbā-parastī morid-e-ilzām hai saaqī
ḳhirad vāloñ kī mahfil meñ junūñ badnām hai saaqī
junūñ meñ aur ḳhirad meñ dar-haqīqat farq itnā hai
vo zer-e-dar hai saaqī aur ye zer-e-dām hai saaqī
sū-e-manzil baḌhe jaatā huuñ mai-ḳhāna ba mai-ḳhāna
mazāq-e-justujū tishna-labī kā naam hai saaqī
kabhī jo chaar qatre bhī salīqe se na pī paa.e
vo rind-e-ḳhām hai saaqī vo nañg-e-jām hai saaqī
nahīñ hai aaj bhī shā.ista-e-ādāb-e-mai-noshī
vo ik rind-e-balā-kash jis kā 'tābāñ' naam hai saaqī
meri sahba-parasti morid-e-ilzam hai saqi
KHirad walon ki mahfil mein junun badnam hai saqi
junun mein aur KHirad mein dar-haqiqat farq itna hai
wo zer-e-dar hai saqi aur ye zer-e-dam hai saqi
su-e-manzil baDhe jata hun mai-KHana ba mai-KHana
mazaq-e-justuju tishna-labi ka nam hai saqi
kabhi jo chaar qatre bhi saliqe se na pi pae
wo rind-e-KHam hai saqi wo nang-e-jam hai saqi
nahin hai aaj bhi shaista-e-adab-e-mai-noshi
wo ek rind-e-bala-kash jis ka 'taban' nam hai saqi
