jeb khaali hai 'adam' mai qarz par milti nahin — Abdul Hamid Adam

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

ijaazat ho to main tasdiq kar luun teri zulfon se
sunaa hai zindagi ik khub-surat daam hai saaqi

savaal kar ke main khud hi bahut pashemaan huun
javaab de ke mujhe aur sharmsaar na kar

marne vaale to khair hain bebas
jiine vaale kamaal karte hain

mai-kada hai yahaan sukun se baiTh
koi aafat idhar nahin aati

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

yaqinan aa gayaa hai mai-kade mein tishna-lab koi
ki piitaa jaa rahaa huun kaifiyat kam hoti jaati hai

vo jo tasbih liye hai us ko
mere aage se uThaa de saaqi

dekhiye kab raah par Thiik se uTThein qadam
raat ki mai kaa khumaar dekhiye kab tak rahe

mire khamir pe saari hi sarf ho gai thi
phir us ke baa'd udaasi nai banaai gai
