ye sharab ki botal bhi kamal hai
kabhi tootle dilo ke liye maraham
kabhi mehfilo ki shan hai,
kabhi bhulane mein dard ko
kabhi rulana mein hamko masgur rehti hai
kafir ki adat to dekho,
khusimein pita hu, hosh madhosh ho jata hai
gam ka alam na pucho, kya haal hota hai
har boond-2 mein wo hotabhai, zarra uska daman, pemana labo ke saman hota hai,
itna likh kar ek baat yaad ai, badi khaofnaak thi wo raat jab wo mere pass aai,
mein masgur tha pemano ki beech mein,
iqwal ka farreb lekar bethi,
mere hi pass
mere zarra zarra ruh ka tere likha hai,
le tarajo tool bafa ko, kisne biswas jita hai,
jab yaad teri aati thi dil jalane ko,
ye botal hi thi jo aati thi aag bhujane ko,
itna sunkar wo, chal uthi, ek nazar dekh kar wo jaan meri bol uthi,
mein to looti thi jaan, teri na kar numais ab,
le taraju, es botal ki yaari jeeti or bafa meri jhuti jai
