Bekhud kiye dete hain andaz-e-hijabana
Aa dil mein dhar rakhoon, aye shauq-e-janana!
Itna to karam karna, aye chashm-e-karimana
Jab jaan lage par ki, tum saamne aa jaana
Kyun aaj ghataai thi, kyun aag lagai thi
Jis din se dekha hai tumhe, mujhe deewana
Jee chahta hai tole huey hoon tum unhein aankhein
Aye saaqi to kar de, pyaala ko sharaab se bhara
Kya puch ho meharam se, qadam mein nishan un ke
Sarhak ke chalte gaye, deewana hai deewana
Kya puch ho meharam se, mein fakir ban jaoon
Jo hans ke kar dein, deewana hai deewana
Mein hosho-o-hawas apne is baat pe kho baitha
Jab usne kaha hans ke, aaya mera deewana
Peene ko to pee loonga, par arz zara si hai
Aye saaqi ka saaqi ho, aabaad ka maikhana
Bedam! Meri kismat mein chakker hai is hi dar ke
Lutne do lut jaoon, mujh se roshni-e-jana
Saaqi ke aage thi jo chaashm-e-ruswai ka
Shaikh to gira shaikh, le aaya pe pemaana
Ma’qul nahi, Bedam! Hai mein aur kya hoon
Yun apni mein apna hoon, begana mein begana
(Bayed Shah Warsi – Naat in Roman English)
