hoti hai haar jiit pinhan baat baat men
chaupad bichhi hai anjuman-e-kaenat men
rakh fikr-e-jism aryati kaenat men
chori na jaaen maang ke kapde barat men
pyase miri lahu ke hain sab kaenat men
kashti-e-umr chalti hai ab-e-furat men
be-aql ho ke aa gae hasti ki ghaat men
divane ban ke phans gae qaid-e-hayat men
saaqi se kah do sabza-e-tar men baha sharab
tanke kadu ki bel qaba-e-nabat men
ki talkh guftugu lab-e-jan-bakhsh se mudam
afyun gholi aap ne ab-e-hayat men
qaaem mizajiyon men bhi ghaflat muhit hai
hai khvab-e-marg makhmal-e-rang-e-sabat men
honton ka ishq tha ye rahe aabru ki baat
murde ko ghusl dijiye ab-e-hayat men
pahuncha jo tere kuche men khud-rafta ho gaya
jaata raha main aap se rah-e-najat men
malte hain khub-ru tire kheme se chhatiyan
angiya ki doriyan hain muqarrar qanat men
hasti men tark kijiye zulfon ke ishq ko
zanjiren dohri todiye qaid-e-hayat men
musa-o-khizr ne tire batne ke vaste
ghola hai barq-e-tur ko ab-e-hayat men
gharat kiya akhir javani men dahr ko
duniya tamam luut li thodi si raat men
juz dagh-e-zindagi men nahin aur kuchh surur
afyun kab hai lala-e-rang-e-sabat men
muddat se dher jada-e-bak-e-najaf men hai
takiya hai is faqir ka rah-e-najat men
shadi hui jo raat ko khele vo ganjifa
raushan kiya ghulam ne ikka barat men
kuche men rakh ke ashiq-e-muztar ki haddiyan
machhli ke kante bo diye rah-e-najat men
dil ki safa ho jama-e-hasti men jalva-gar
jeb-e-sahar ugaun qaba-e-hayat men
savan ke badle gaiye ‘hafiz’ ke sher-e-tar
jhula zarur daliye shakh-e-nabat men
hasti ki qaid se dil-e-betab chhup gaya
machhli na thahri bazu-e-sham-e-hayat men
murde jilae saikdon thukra kar ai sanam
dast-e-masih ka hai asar teri laat men
shirin-adaiyan bhi hon raftar-e-naz bhi
kafur-e-subh-e-hashr ho qand-o-nabat men
honton ki masti duur ki tu ne khatai se
lemuu. ki chashni hai tiri mithi baat men
andha banaenge vo rula kar itaab se
rahte hain roz aankh churane ki ghaat men
maut aae mujh ko hijr men ahmad ki ai ‘munir’
vallah kuchh maza nahin aisi hayat men
