Parde parde mein aataab achchhe nahin 
Aise a.ndaaz-e-hijaab achchhe nahin

Mayakade mein ho gaye chup-chaap kyon 
Aaj kuchh mast-e-sharaab achchhe nahin

Ai falak kyaa hai zamaane ki bisaat 
Dam-ba-dam ke i.nqalaab achchhe nahin

Bazm-e-vaaiz be-sharaan achchhe nahin 
Aise jalase be-sharaab achchhe nahin

Taubaa kar lein ham may-o-maashuuq se 
Be-mazaa hai.n ye savaab achchhe nahin

Ik najuumi "Daag" se kahataa thaa aaj 
Aap ke din ai janaab achchhe nahin
