Muddat hui yaar ko mehmaa'n kiye hue

Muddat hui yaar ko mehmaa'n kiye hue
Josh-e-qadah se bazm-e-chiraghaa'n kiye hue

Karta hoon jama phir jigar-e-lakht lakht ko
Arsa hua hai dawat-e-mazhgaa'n kiye hue

Phir pursish jarahat dil ko chala hai ishq
Saman sad hazar namkada'n kiye hue

Phir shoq kar raha hai khareedar ki talab
Arz mata-e-aqal-o-dil-o-jaa'n kiye hue

Phir chahta hoon nama-e-dildar kholna
Jaa'n nazar dilfarebi unwaa'n kiye hue

Ji dhoondta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din
Bethe rahen tasawwur-e-jaana'n kiye hue

Ghalib humen na cherr ke phir josh-e-ashk se
Bethe hain hum tahya-e-toofaa'n kiye hue
