ab to utni bhi mayassar nahin mai-KHane mein
jitni hum chhoD diya karte the paimane mein

the tavern does not even give that much wine to me
that I was wont to waste in the goblet casually

mai-KHana salamat hai to hum surKHi-e-mai se
tazin-e-dar-o-baam-e-haram karte rahenge

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

KHuda kare kahin mai-KHane ki taraf na muDe

mai-kada hai shaiKH sahab ye koi masjid nahin
aap shayad aae hain rindon ke bahkae hue

mai-kade ko ja ke dekh aaun ye hasrat dil mein hai
zahid us miTTi ki ulfat meri aab-o-gil mein hai
