Kaasid  ake ate ate khat ek aur likh rakhun
Main jaanata hun jo wo likhenge jawaab men
 
Kab se hun kya bataaun, ajahaan-e-kharaab men
Shab haaye ahijra ako bhi rakhun gar hisaab men
Mujh tak kab unaki bajma amen, ata tha daur-e-jaam
Saaki ne kuchha amila na diya ho sharaab men
Ta-fir na intajaara amen nind aye umra abhar
Ane ka ahad kar gaye, aye ajo khwaab men
Gaalib chhuti asharaab, par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
Pita hun roj-e-abr-o-shab-e-maahataab men
