Aa jaaye jo ik baar yahan phir jaane ka hosh kise hai,

peene ka bahana hai peete hain kitne paimane ka hosh kise hai.

Khakar zakhm aaye hain bhulane bewafa mehboob ka chehra,

bewafai ki tasweer ko dil mein basane ka hosh kise hai.

Saaqi humein bas pilate jaana na pehar ka rakhna khayal,

saari zindagi yahin guzarun kahin aane jaane ka hosh kise hai.

Itna khayal rakhna ke dil ko na mile phir se zakhm,

jee rahe hain is duniya mein marne ka hosh kise hai.
