Mastan piye ja yuN hi mastan piye ja, 
paimana to kya chiz hai maiKhana piye ja, 
ker garq may-o-jam Ghum-e-gardish-e-ayyam, 
ab ai dil-e-nakam tu maiKhana piye ja, 
may-noshi ke adab se agah nahi tu, 
jis tarah kahe saqi-e-maiKhana piye ja, 
is basti mai'n hai wahashat-e-masti hi se hasti, 
diwan ban aur bada-e-diwan piye ja, 
maiKhane ke hangame hai'n kuch der ke mehmaN, 
hai subah qarib "Akhtar" diwan piye ja.
