    vahāñ mai-kashī mai-parastī rahī

    yahāñ umr bhar faaqa mastī rahī

    khule kab rahe zarf-e-mai raat ko

    marī ruuh saaqī tarastī rahī

    hasīñ dil ko tārāj karte rahe

    hamesha ujaḌtī ye bastī rahī

    bikī mai bahut fasl-e-gul meñ garāñ

    jo sach pūchho phir bhī ye sastī rahī

    kahāñ raqs tā.ūs-e-mīnā rahā

    kahāñ ai ghaTā barastī rahī

    pilā thī saaqī ne kaisī mujhe

    ki mahshar meñ bhī mujh ko mastī rahī

    tirī zulf par log marte rahe

    ye nāgin yūñhī sab ko Dastī rahī

    na kuchh de sake mai-faroshoñ ko bhī

    bahut un dinoñ tañg-dastī rahī

    qayāmat meñ bhī un ke tarz-e-ḳhirām

    qayāmat par āvāze kustī rahī

    lahad par ugā bhī jo sabza kabhī

    ghaTā ban ke hasrat barastī rahī

    ye past-o-buland jahāñ saath haiñ

    rahī ye bhī jab tak ye hastī rahī

    vo bole tirī aah sozāñ 'riyāz'

    hamesha tirā muñh jhulastī rahī

    wahan mai-kashi mai-parasti rahi

    yahan umr bhar faqa masti rahi

    khule kab rahe zarf-e-mai raat ko

    mari ruh saqi tarasti rahi

    hasin dil ko taraj karte rahe

    hamesha ujaDti ye basti rahi

    biki mai bahut fasl-e-gul mein garan

    jo sach puchho phir bhi ye sasti rahi

    kahan raqs taus-e-mina raha

    kahan ai ghaTa tu barasti rahi

    pila di thi saqi ne kaisi mujhe

    ki mahshar mein bhi mujh ko masti rahi

    teri zulf par log marte rahe

    ye nagin yunhi sab ko Dasti rahi

    na kuchh de sake mai-faroshon ko bhi

    bahut un dinon tang-dasti rahi

    qayamat mein bhi un ke tarz-e-KHiram

    qayamat par aawaze kusti rahi

    lahad par uga bhi jo sabza kabhi

    ghaTa ban ke hasrat barasti rahi

    ye past-o-buland jahan sath hain

    rahi ye bhi jab tak ye hasti rahi

    wo bole teri aah sozan 'riyaz'

    hamesha tera munh jhulasti rahi
