aae the hanste khelte mai-KHane mein 'firaq'
jab pi chuke sharab to sanjida ho gae

we came to the tavern all gay and frolicsome
now having drunk the wine, somber have become

ishq phir ishq hai jis rup mein jis bhes mein ho
ishrat-e-wasl bane ya gham-e-hijran ho jae

hijr ki bhi aai nahin naubat

ishq ab bhi hai wo mahram-e-be-gana-numa
husn yun lakh chhupe lakh numayan ho jae

nai nai si hai kuchh teri rahguzar phir bhi
