sharab-o-saqi

rind jab jhūmte haiñ nashshe meñ

aur surāhī bhī raqs kartī hai

kahte haiñ hosh kho ke sab mai-kash

rahmat-e-haq yahāñ barastī hai

koī suntā nahīñ ḳhirad kī baat

mai-kade meñ junūñ kī chaltī hai

mausam-e-gul ho abr-e-bārāñ ho

aisī rut ho to piinī paḌtī hai

baat saaqī sunā vo jis se hameñ

zindagī kā shu.ūr aa jaa.e

vajd karne lageñ sab ahl-e-bazm

be-piye hī surūr aa jaa.e

ziist raqsāñ hai ab fazāoñ meñ

ghul ga.ī hai sharāb kī bū-bās

mai-kasho kyā sitam hai aise meñ

mai-kada is qadar udaas udaas

mai-e-gul-gūñ pilā ke ai saaqī

tū mirī tishnagī baḌhātā hai

merī niyyat kabhī nahīñ bhartī

tū to dil khol kar pilātā hai

rind ye kah rahā thā vaa.iz se

kaun hai mujh ko rokne vaalā

mai-kashī chhoḌnā nahīñ mumkin

kaun hai mujh ko Tokne vaalā

kuchh to talchhaT se bhī rahe mahrūm

kuchh ko hāsil hai lutf sāġhar kā

tū ġhalat-baḳhsh to nahīñ saaqī

khel saarā hai ye muqaddar kā

zāhid-e-be-riyā banā hai koī

aur banā koī rind-e-shātir hai

hai tag-o-dau jahāñ meñ jitnī bhī

sirf ik chiiz hī kī ḳhātir hai

rind jab jhumte hain nashshe mein

aur surahi bhi raqs karti hai

kahte hain hosh kho ke sab mai-kash

rahmat-e-haq yahan barasti hai

koi sunta nahin KHirad ki baat

mai-kade mein junun ki chalti hai

mausam-e-gul ho abr-e-baran ho

aisi rut ho to pini paDti hai

baat saqi suna wo jis se hamein

zindagi ka shuur aa jae

wajd karne lagen sab ahl-e-bazm

be-piye hi surur aa jae

zist raqsan hai ab fazaon mein

ghul gai hai sharab ki bu-bas

mai-kasho kya sitam hai aise mein

mai-kada is qadar udas udas

mai-e-gul-gun pila ke ai saqi

tu meri tishnagi baDhata hai

meri niyyat kabhi nahin bharti

tu to dil khol kar pilata hai

rind ye kah raha tha waiz se

kaun hai mujh ko rokne wala

mai-kashi chhoDna nahin mumkin

kaun hai mujh ko Tokne wala

kuchh to talchhaT se bhi rahe mahrum

kuchh ko hasil hai lutf saghar ka

tu ghalat-baKHsh to nahin saqi

khel sara hai ye muqaddar ka

zahid-e-be-riya bana hai koi

aur bana koi rind-e-shatir hai

hai tag-o-dau jahan mein jitni bhi

sirf ek chiz hi ki KHatir hai
