مدت ہوئی ہے یار کو مہماں کیے ہوئے

Muddat hui hai yar ko mehman kiye hue

Josh-e-qadah se bazm-e-chiraghan kiye hue

Karta hoon jama phir jigar-e-lakht-lakht ko

Arsa hua hai daawat-e-muzhgan kiye hue

Phir waz-e-ihtiyat se rukne laga hai dam

Barson hue hain chak-e-gareban kiye hue

Phir garm nala-ha-e-sharar-bar hai nafas

Muddat hui hai sair-e-chiraghan kiye hue

Phir pursish-e-jarahat-e-dil ko chala hai ishq

Saman-e-sad-hazar namakdan kiye hue

Phir bhar raha hoon khama-e-muzhgan ba-khoon-e-dil

Saz-e-chaman-tarazi-e-daman kiye hue

Baham-digar hue hain dil-o-deeda phir raqeeb

Nazara-o-khayal ka saman kiye hue

Dil phir tawaf-e-kuya-e-malamat ko jaye hai

Pindar ka sanam-kada weeran kiye hue

Phir shauq kar raha hai kharidar ki talab

Arz-e-mata-e-aql-o-dil-o-jaan kiye hue

Daure hai phir har ek gul-o-lala par khayal

Sad gulistan nigah ka saman kiye hue

Phir chahta hoon nama-e-dildar kholna

Jaan nazar dil-farebi-e-unwan kiye hue

Mange hai phir kisi ko lab-e-bam par hawas

Zulf-e-siyah rukh pe pareshan kiye hue

Chahe hai phir kisi ko muqabil mein aarzoo

Surme se tez dashna-e-muzhgan kiye hue

Ek nau-bahar-e-naz ko take hai phir nigah

Chehra furugh-e-mai se gulistan kiye hue

Phir ji mein hai ke dar pe kisi ke pare rahein

Sar zer-e-bar-e-minnat-e-darban kiye hue

Ji dhoondta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din

Baithe rahein tasawwur-e-janan kiye hue

Ghalib hamein na chher ke phir josh-e-ashk se

Baithe hain hum tahayya-e-toofan kiye hue
