Na ho shabab to kaifiyyat-e-sharab kahan

na ho shabab to kaifiyyat-e-sharab kahan
na ho shabab to kaifiyyat-e-shabab kahan

chala hun kabe ko lekin chala nahin jata
na ho jo shauq hi dil mein to iztirab kahan

adu ki bazm mein dushman hazar baiThe hain
mila bhi hae wo kafir to be-hijab kahan

kisi tarah shab-e-gham ki sahar nahin hoti
KHuda hi jaane ki Duba hai aaftab kahan

haram mein baiThe ho 'mail' KHuda KHuda kije
yahan wo saqi-e-mehwash kahan sharab kahan
