Sabab kya hai

Puchhte ho kyu, peene ka sabab kya hai

ranj e mohabbat me jeene ka sabab kya hai

utth utth k bujhti hai or fir sulag jaati hai

ye nasha i deedare yaar ki talab kya hai

jhalak se jiski uthta karti thi seher

aaj yaar wo be-nazara , hadd e falak kya hai

kuredti hai har baat, zakhm dillagi kay

saaki tera andaaze guftagu be-adab kya hai

bhari mehfil me karte hai wo baat ruswai ki

phir tanhaai me lab seene ka sabab kya hai

naa aae ilzaam e kufr, aisa kisi abid ko

puchhna unka meri mohabbat ka mazhab kya hai
