hum neutral hain Khaarja hikmat ke bab mein

ham neutral haiñ ḳhārja hikmat ke baab meñ

nai haath baag par haiñ na pā haiñ rikāb meñ

yuuñ kāñptā hai shaiḳh ḳhayāl-e-sharāb se

jaise kabhī ye Duub gayā thā sharāb meñ

is baat par bhī ham ne ka.ī baab likh diye

jo baat rah ga.ī thī ḳhudā kī kitāb meñ

tanqīd-e-jām-o-mai to bahut ho chukī huzūr

ab kyā ḳhayāl hai ġham-e-hastī ke baab meñ

rindoñ kī be-hisī bhī ḳhabar-dār chiiz thī

aksar jhagaḌ paḌe haiñ hisāb-o-kitāb meñ

lutf is mushā.ire meñ milā coktel kā

jamunā kā ras bhī aan milā hai chanāb meñ

hum neutral hain KHarja hikmat ke bab mein

nai hath bag par hain na pa hain rikab mein

yun kanpta hai shaiKH KHayal-e-sharab se

jaise kabhi ye Dub gaya tha sharab mein

is baat par bhi hum ne kai bab likh diye

jo baat rah gai thi KHuda ki kitab mein

tanqid-e-jam-o-mai to bahut ho chuki huzur

ab kya KHayal hai gham-e-hasti ke bab mein

rindon ki be-hisi bhi KHabar-dar chiz thi

aksar jhagaD paDe hain hisab-o-kitab mein

lutf is mushaire mein mila coktel ka

jamuna ka ras bhi aan mila hai chanab mein
