sham-e-mahfil ho ke bhi girwida-e-mahfil nahin
sham-e-mahfil ho ke bhī girvīda-e-mahfil nahīñ
maiñ huuñ duniyā meñ magar duniyā meñ merā dil nahīñ
mere dil kī dhaḌkaneñ jab tak haiñ tūfāñ saiñkaḌoñ
mauj betābī hai merī zindagī sāhil nahīñ
ye namāzoñ meñ ḳhayāl-e-jannat-e-hūr-o-qasūr
zāhid-e-kaj-bīñ abhī nau-mashq hai kāmil nahīñ
be-niyāz-e-fikr-e-manzil be-ḳhudī ne kar diyā
ab mire dāman pe dāġh-e-hasrat-e-manzil nahīñ
nā-ḳhudā kyuuñ āsmāñ ko tak rahā hai baar baar
ruḳh udhar kashtī kā ab kar de jidhar sāhil nahīñ
ik dil-e-dīvāna thā jaatā rahā jaane bhī do
ye kaho kyuuñ āj-kal sī raunaq-e-mahfil nahīñ
merī fitrat hī nahīñ 'qaisar' ki maiñ chhup kar piyūñ
jis meñ khaTkā ho vo jannat bhī mire qābil nahīñ
sham-e-mahfil ho ke bhi girwida-e-mahfil nahin
main hun duniya mein magar duniya mein mera dil nahin
mere dil ki dhaDkanen jab tak hain tufan sainkaDon
mauj betabi hai meri zindagi sahil nahin
ye namazon mein KHayal-e-jannat-e-hur-o-qasur
zahid-e-kaj-bin abhi nau-mashq hai kaamil nahin
be-niyaz-e-fikr-e-manzil be-KHudi ne kar diya
ab mere daman pe dagh-e-hasrat-e-manzil nahin
na-KHuda kyun aasman ko tak raha hai bar bar
ruKH udhar kashti ka ab kar de jidhar sahil nahin
ek dil-e-diwana tha jata raha jaane bhi do
ye kaho kyun aaj-kal si raunaq-e-mahfil nahin
meri fitrat hi nahin 'qaisar' ki main chhup kar piyun
jis mein khaTka ho wo jannat bhi mere qabil nahin
