Ye chubhan akelay pan ki

Ye chubhan akelay pan ki

Ye lagan udas shab se,

Main hawa se larr raha hoon

Tujhe kya batau kab se,



Ye saher ki sazishein thien,

K ye inteqaam-e-shab tha,

Mujhe zindagi ka sooraj

Na bacha saka ghazab se,



Tere naam se shafa ho

Koi zakham wo ataa kar,

Mere nama-bar,! Mile to

Use kehna ye adab se,



Wo jawaan ruton ki shaamein,

Kahan kho gai hain,

"saqi"

Ma to bujh k reh gaya hon

Wo bichar gaya hai jab se.
