talKH-tar aur zara baada-e-safi saqi

talḳh-tar aur zarā bāda-e-sāfī saaqī

mere siine meñ ḳhas-o-ḳhār haiñ kaafī saaqī

zulmat o nuur ko pyāloñ meñ samo detī hai

shaam paḌte hī tirī chashm-e-ġhilāfī saaqī

zahr kā jaam hī de zahr bhī hai āb-e-hayāt

ḳhushk-sālī kī to ho jaa.e talāfī saaqī

nashsha-e-mai se zarā zaḳhm ke Tāñke TuuTe

tā-abad silsila-e-sīna-shigāfī saaqī

zindagānī kā maraz kam nahīñ hone paatā

ye maraz kam na ho allāh hai shāfī saaqī

kaaT dī gardish-e-ayyām kī zanjīr us ne

kaun hai gardish-e-mīnā ke munāfī saaqī

ik kaf-e-jū hai matā-e-ḳhirad o sikka-e-hosh

jām-e-mai de ki ye aalam hai izāfī saaqī

talKH-tar aur zara baada-e-safi saqi

mere sine mein KHas-o-KHar hain kafi saqi

zulmat o nur ko pyalon mein samo deti hai

sham paDte hi teri chashm-e-ghilafi saqi

zahr ka jam hi de zahr bhi hai aab-e-hayat

KHushk-sali ki to ho jae talafi saqi

nashsha-e-mai se zara zaKHm ke Tanke TuTe

ta-abad silsila-e-sina-shigafi saqi

zindagani ka maraz kam nahin hone pata

ye maraz kam na ho allah hai shafi saqi

kaT di gardish-e-ayyam ki zanjir us ne

kaun hai gardish-e-mina ke munafi saqi

ek kaf-e-ju hai mata-e-KHirad o sikka-e-hosh

jam-e-mai de ki ye aalam hai izafi saqi
