Jab maine usse khaas nigah-e-naaz se dekha ... aaina fir usne naye andaz se dekha
Wahi taj hai, wahi takht hai, wahi zehar hai, wahi jaam hai ... yeh wahi khuda ki zameen hai, yeh wahi bhuton ka nizam hai ... bade shauk se mera ghar jalaa, koi aanch tujhpar na aayegi ... yeh zabaan kisi ne khareed li, yeh kalam kisi ka ghulam hai
Wahi taj hai, wahi takht hai, wahi zehar hai, wahi jaam hai; yeh wahi khuda ki zameen hai, yeh wahi bhuton ka nizam hai; bade shauk se mera ghar jalaa, koi aanch tujhpar na aayegi; yeh zabaan kisi ne khareed li, yeh kalam kisi ka ghulam hai
Tere vaade pe jeeye hum toh yeh jaan choot jaana ... ke khushi se mar na jaate agar aitbaar hota
Yahan libaaz ki keemat hai aadmi ki nahi ... mujhe glass bada de sharab kam karde
Is baar ishq sacha hai
Vaada toh phir vaada hai, main zehar bhi pee jaon katil ... sharat bas itni hai, koi baahon mein samah le mujhko
Sanwaar nok palak aabruon mein kham karde ... gire pade huye lafzon ko mohtaram karde
Hamari is duniya mein zindagi thami si rehti hai ... kabhi aaiyega bhut banke baithenge
Pehle bhi dekha hai ishq mein andha bawla hote ... par chutiya pehli baar dekhriya hoon main
