main vo atish-e-nafas huun aag abhi
khirman-e-barq men laga dunga
rutho mujh se na vo bala huun main
roni surat ko bhi hansa dunga
tu uthae jo khanjar-e-pur-kham
gardan apni vahin jhuka dunga
aah se arsh ko hila dunga
kungar-e-charkh ko jhuka dunga
na chalo mujh se tum raqibon chaal
ungliyon par tumhen nacha dunga
vaqt rone ke ah-e-sozan se
daman-e-abr ko jala dunga
aage mere na shekhi maar ai shaikh
raat ka majra suna dunga
aah ko meri be-asar na kaho
main tamasha abhi dikha dunga
tum jo har rose kahte ho mar-mar
ek din mar ke bhi dikha dunga
dusre ko jo doge dil men bhi
dil ke naqsh-e-vafa mita dunga
shaikh chal to sharab-khane men
main tujhe aadmi bana dunga
‘mashriqi’ de agar vo jam-e-sharab
dil se gham main abhi mita dunga
