shauqiya koi nahin hotaa ghalat — Abdul Hamid Adam

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

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

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