saaqi ho aur chaman ho miina ho aur ham hon
baran ho aur hava ho sabza ho aur ham hon
zahid ho aur taqva aabid ho aur musalla
maala ho aur barahman sahba ho aur ham hon
majnun hain ham hamen to is shahr se hai vahshat
shahri hon aur basti sahra ho aur ham hon
ya-rab koi mukhalif hove na gird mere
khalvat ho aur shab ho pyara ho aur ham hon
divangi ka ham ko kya haz ho har taraf gar
ladke hon aur phathre balva ho aur ham hon
auron ko aish-o-ishrat ai charkh-e-be-muravvat
ghussa ho aur gham ho rona ho aur ham hon
iman o diin se ‘taban’ kuchh kaam nahin hai ham ko
saaqi ho aur mai ho duniya ho aur ham hon
