Ek pal meN ek sadii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
do din kii zindagii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
bhuule haiN raftaa raftaa unheN mudattoN meN ham,
qistoN meN Khud-kushii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye
aaGhaaz-e-aashiqii kaa mazaa aap jaaniye,
anjaam-e-aashiqii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
jalte diyoN meN jalte gharoN jaise zau kahaaN
sarkaar raushnii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
vo jaan hii gaye ke hameN un se pyaar hai,
aaNkhoN kii muKhbarii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
haNsne kaa shauq ham ko bhii thaa aap kii tarah,
haNsiye magar haNsii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye,
ham taubaa kar ke mar gaye qabl-e-azal “Khumar”,
tauhiin-e-maikashii kaa mazaa ham se puuchhiye
