La Pila Saqi Sharab-e-arghawani Phir Kahan

la pila saqi sharab-e-arghawani phir kahan

zindagani phir kahan nadan jawani phir kahan

do ghaDi mil baiThne ko bhi ghanimat jaaniye

umr fani hi sahi ye umr-e-fani phir kahan

aa ki hum bhi ek tarana jhum kar gate chalen

is chaman ke taeron ki ham-zabani phir kahan

hai zamana ishq-e-salma mein ganwa de zindagi

ye zamana phir kahan ye zindagani phir kahan

ek hi basti mein hain aasan hai milna aa milo

kya KHabar le jae daur-e-asmani phir kahan

fasl-e-gul jaane ko hai daur-e-KHizan aane ko hai

ye chaman ye bulbulen ye naghma-KHwani phir kahan

phul chun ji khol kar aish-o-tarab ke phul chun

mausam-e-gul phir kahan fasl-e-jawani phir kahan

aaKHiri raat aa gai ji bhar ke mil len aaj to

tum se milne dega daur-e-asmani phir kahan

aaj aae ho to sunte jao ye taza ghazal

warna 'aKHtar' phir kahan ye sher-KHwani phir kahan
