saqi bhale phaTakne na de pas jam ke
saaqī bhale phaTakne na de paas jaam ke
niyyat to bāñdh sakte haiñ pīchhe imaam ke
qadmoñ meñ deñ jagah hameñ ahl-e-karam kahīñ
ham rāñdgāñ haiñ sajda-gah-e-ḳhās-o-ām ke
āñkhoñ kī baat chhiḌ ga.ī bātoñ ke darmiyān
mai-ḳhāne vaale rah ga.e paimāne thaam ke
vaa.iz ko ūñch-nīch mohabbat kī kyā patā
ye mas.ale nahīñ ulamā-e-kirām ke
kyā ḳhuub vahī pīr-e-ḳharābāt ko huī
jhagḌe haiñ sab harām halāl-o-harām ke
do-chār ashk haal pe mere bahā.iye
shabnam gire laboñ pe kisī tishna-kām ke
aatā na ho barāt sitāroñ kī le ke chāñd
ruḳhsār surḳh kyuuñ hue jaate haiñ shaam ke
insān haiñ farishta-o-iblīs ham nahīñ
qaa.il nahīñ rukū-o-sujūd-o-qayām ke
ahl-e-zamāna un se na bāñdheñ tavaqquāt
ushshāq aadmī haiñ hasīnoñ ke kaam ke
shahr-e-butāñ meñ haiñ jo dar-e-mai-kada pe dafn
pahuñche hue buzurg the 'rāhīl' naam ke
saqi bhale phaTakne na de pas jam ke
niyyat to bandh sakte hain pichhe imam ke
qadmon mein den jagah hamein ahl-e-karam kahin
hum randgan hain sajda-gah-e-KHas-o-am ke
aankhon ki baat chhiD gai baaton ke darmiyan
mai-KHane wale rah gae paimane tham ke
waiz ko unch-nich mohabbat ki kya pata
ye masale nahin ulama-e-kiram ke
kya KHub wahi pir-e-KHarabaat ko hui
jhagDe hain sab haram halal-o-haram ke
do-chaar ashk haal pe mere bahaiye
shabnam gire labon pe kisi tishna-kaam ke
aata na ho baraat sitaron ki le ke chand
ruKHsar surKH kyun hue jate hain sham ke
insan hain farishta-o-iblis hum nahin
qail nahin ruku-o-sujud-o-qayam ke
ahl-e-zamana un se na bandhen tawaqquat
ushshaq aadmi hain hasinon ke kaam ke
shahr-e-butan mein hain jo dar-e-mai-kada pe dafn
pahunche hue buzurg the 'rahil' nam ke
