jab ho chuki sharab to main mast mar gaya

jab ho chukī sharāb to maiñ mast mar gayā

shīshe ke ḳhālī hote hī paimāna bhar gayā

ne qāsid-e-ḳhayāl na paik-e-nazar gayā

un tak maiñ apnī aap hī le kar ḳhabar gayā

rūh-e-ruvān-o-jism kī sūrat maiñ kyā kahūñ

jhoñkā havā kā thā idhar aayā udhar gayā

tūfān-e-nūh is meñ ho yā shor-e-hashr ho

hotā jo kuchh hai hogā jo guzrā guzar gayā

samjhā hai haq ko apne hī jānib har ek shaḳhs

ye chāñd us ke saath chalā jo jidhar gayā

shorīdgī se merī yahāñ tak vo tañg the

rūThā jo maiñ to ḳhair manā.ī ki shar gayā

maiñ ne bhī āñkheñ dekhī haiñ pariyoñ kī jaao bhī

tum ne dikhā.ī aañkh mujhe aur maiñ Dar gayā

guzrā jahāñ se maiñ to kahā sun ke yaar ne

qissa gayā fasād gayā dard-e-sar gayā

kāġhaz siyāh karte ho kis ke liye 'nasīm'

aayā javāb-e-ḳhat tumheñ aur nāma-bar gayā

jab ho chuki sharab to main mast mar gaya

shishe ke KHali hote hi paimana bhar gaya

ne qasid-e-KHayal na paik-e-nazar gaya

un tak main apni aap hi le kar KHabar gaya

ruh-e-ruwan-o-jism ki surat main kya kahun

jhonka hawa ka tha idhar aaya udhar gaya

tufan-e-nuh is mein ho ya shor-e-hashr ho

hota jo kuchh hai hoga jo guzra guzar gaya

samjha hai haq ko apne hi jaanib har ek shaKHs

ye chand us ke sath chala jo jidhar gaya

shoridgi se meri yahan tak wo tang the

ruTha jo main to KHair manai ki shar gaya

main ne bhi aankhen dekhi hain pariyon ki jao bhi

tum ne dikhai aankh mujhe aur main Dar gaya

guzra jahan se main to kaha sun ke yar ne

qissa gaya fasad gaya dard-e-sar gaya

kaghaz siyah karte ho kis ke liye 'nasim'

aaya jawab-e-KHat tumhein aur nama-bar gaya
