Pee ke raat ko

Aashikon ko mohabbat ke alava agar kuchh kaam hota,
Toh maikhane jake har roz yun badnam na hota,
Mil jaati chahne wali usse bhi kahin raah mein koi,
Agar kadmon mein nasha aur hath mein jaam na hota.

Aisi kiran hoon, jise suraj ne kabhi apna nahin samjha,
Aisi khusbu hoon, jise phoolon ne apna nahin samjha.
Aisi dhadkan hoon, jise dil ne kabhi apna na samjha,
Lekin khushnaseeb hoon, jo is sharabi ko maikhane ne apna samjha.

Madhhosh hum hardam raha karte hain,
Aur ilzaam sharaab ko diya karte hain.
Kasoor sharaab ka nahi unka hai yaron,
Jinka chehra hum har jaam mein talaash kiya karte hain.
