Saqiya ek nazar jaam se pehlay pehlay,
Hum ko jana hai kahin shaam se pehlay pehlay.
Khush ho ay dil, k mohabbat to nibha di tun ne,
Log ujar jatay hain anjaam se pehlay pehlay.
Ab Us k zikr pe hum baat badal detay hain,
Kitni rughbat thi Us k naam se pehlay pehlay.
Samnay umar pari hai shab-e-tanhaai ki,
Wo mjhay chor gaya shaam se pehlay pehlay.
Kitna acha tha k hum b jiya karte the,
Ghair-maroof se, gumnaam se pehlay pehlay.
