‘aqaaid waham haiN, mazhab Khayaal-e-Khaam hai saaqi
azal se zehn-e-insaaN basta-e-auhaam hai saaqi

haqeeqat aashnaaii asl meiN gumkardah raahii hai
aroos-e-aagahii parvardah-e-ibhaam hai saaqi

mubaarak ho za’eefii ko Khirad ki falsafadaanii
javaabii be-niyaaz-e-ibrat-e-anjaam hai saaqii

havas hogii aseer-e-Halqa-e-nek-o-bad-e-aalam
muhabbat maavara-e-fikr-e-naNg-o-naam hai saaqi

abhii tak raaste ke pech-o-Kham se dil dhaRaktaa hai
mira zauq-e-talab shaayad abhii tak Khaam hai saaqi

vahaaN bhejaa gayaa houN chaak karne parda-e-shab ko
jahaaN har subah ke daaman pe aks-e-shaam hai saaqii

mire saaGhar meiN mai hai aur tire haathoN meiN barbat hai
vatan ki sarzameeN meiN bhook se kuhraam hai saaqii

zamanaa barsar-e-paikaar hai purhol sho’oloN se
tire lab par abhii tak naGhma-e-Khayyaam hai saaqii
