ek mai-KHwar ko aur kya chahiye

ek mai-ḳhvār ko aur kyā chāhiye

jaam paimāna aur mai-kada chāhiye

zindagī kā mazā tum ko lenā hai gar

mai-kasho mai-kada DhūñDhnā chāhiye

ek riñd ko dekhā hai but kī tarah

jaam pī kar use jhūmnā chāhiye

jo bhī kahtā hai ki mai-kahsī hai ġhalat

us se is kī vaj.h pūchhnā chāhiye

ek mai-ḳhvār par tanz kariye magar

apne a.amāl bhī dekhnā chāhiye

jām-noshī ko āsān mat jāniye

us kī ḳhātir bhī ik aasrā chāhiye

yuuñ to mil jā.eñge laakh mahbūb par

mujh ko mahbūb-e-ġham āshnā chāhiye

mai-kada kī na barbād ho aabrū

ye bhī 'shāriq' tumheñ sochnā chāhiye

ek mai-KHwar ko aur kya chahiye

jam paimana aur mai-kada chahiye

zindagi ka maza tum ko lena hai gar

mai-kasho mai-kada DhunDhna chahiye

ek rind ko dekha hai but ki tarah

jam pi kar use jhumna chahiye

jo bhi kahta hai ki mai-kahsi hai ghalat

us se is ki wajh puchhna chahiye

ek mai-KHwar par tanz kariye magar

apne aamal bhi dekhna chahiye

jam-noshi ko aasan mat jaaniye

us ki KHatir bhi ek aasra chahiye

yun to mil jaenge lakh mahbub par

mujh ko mahbub-e-gham aashna chahiye

mai-kada ki na barbaad ho aabru

ye bhi 'shaariq' tumhein sochna chahiye
