Maston Pe Ungliyan Na Uthao Bahaar Mein

Masto'n pe ungliyan na uthao bahaar mein,
Dekho to hosh hai bhi kisi hoshyaar mein.. 

Kuchh mohtasib ka khauf hai kuchh shaikh ka lihaaz,
Peeta hun chhup ke daaman-e-abr-e-bahaar mein..

Wo saamne dhari hai suraahi bhari hui,
Dono'n jahaan hain aaj mere ikhtiyaar mein..

Allah baat kya hai ke deewangi meri,
Deewangi nahin nazar-e-hoshiyaar mein..

Jhoothi tasalliyon se na bahlao jao jao,
Jao ke tum nahin ho mere ikhtiyaar mein.. 

Hun waadi-e-hayat mein is tarah sust-e-gaam,
Jaise ho pa-shikasta koi khaar-zaar mein.. 

Ab wo sukoon-e-yaas na wo iztiraab-e-shauq,
Seene mein dil hai ya koi laasha mazaar mein..

Ab khaak udaaiye na humare mazaar ki, 
Ab khaak bhi nahin hai humare mazaar mein..

Tanhaai-e-firaaq mein ummid baar-ha,
Gum ho gai sukoot ke hangama-zaar mein..

Wo andaleeb-e-gulshan-e-maani hun main 'Hafeez',
Soz-e-sukhan se aag laga dun bahaar mein.!!
