tere maiKHane mein aise bahut mai-KHwar baiThe hain

tire maiḳhāne meñ aise bahut mai-ḳhvār baiThe haiñ

mai-e-hastī jo pī kar sāqiyā bezār baiThe haiñ

taḌaptā huuñ to mujh ko zindagī kā lutf aatā hai

na jaane sar jhukā.e kyoñ mire ġham-ḳhvār baiThe haiñ

nazar aatī hai barq-e-tūr maiḳhāne meñ ai zāhid

magar dair-o-haram meñ tālib-e-dīdār baiThe haiñ

dil-e-pur-dāġh ko dekho na tum chashm-e-hiqārat se

liye pahlū meñ ham ik gulshan-e-be-ḳhār baiThe haiñ

hukūmat kī ye ḳhūbī hai ki apnī ḳhūbī-e-qismat

hamāre mulk meñ ahl-e-hunar be-kār baiThe haiñ

haram hai raah jannat kī mirī jannat hai mai-ḳhāna

vahāñ dīñ-dār baiThe haiñ yahāñ mai-ḳhvār baiThe haiñ

tere maiKHane mein aise bahut mai-KHwar baiThe hain

mai-e-hasti jo pi kar saqiya bezar baiThe hain

taDapta hun to mujh ko zindagi ka lutf aata hai

na jaane sar jhukae kyon mere gham-KHwar baiThe hain

nazar aati hai barq-e-tur maiKHane mein ai zahid

magar dair-o-haram mein talib-e-didar baiThe hain

dil-e-pur-dagh ko dekho na tum chashm-e-hiqarat se

liye pahlu mein hum ek gulshan-e-be-KHar baiThe hain

hukumat ki ye KHubi hai ki apni KHubi-e-qismat

hamare mulk mein ahl-e-hunar be-kar baiThe hain

haram hai rah jannat ki meri jannat hai mai-KHana

wahan din-dar baiThe hain yahan mai-KHwar baiThe hain
