ye to saqi jaanta hai kis ko kitna hosh hai

ye who drink, needlessly, argue about the quantity

ik dāġh-e-dil ne mujh ko diye be-shumār daaġh

paidā hue hazār charāġh is charāġh se

do aalam se guzar ke bhī dil-e-āshiq hai āvāra

abhī tak ye musāfir apnī manzil par nahīñ aayā

un ke lab par zikr aayā be-hijābāna merā

vo shikva jo zabāñ par kyā abhī dil meñ nahīñ aayā

meri jaanib se un ke dil mein kis shikwe pe kina hai

wo shikwa jo zaban par kya abhi dil mein nahin aaya

hum kis se kahen dil hai sine mein hamare bhi
