Yaro, dost na ho to salaam kya hoga

Yaro, dost na ho to salaam kya hoga
Aur, dard na ho to phir aaraam kya hoga

Insan gar insan ko insan maan le
Samjha phir naaseh ghulaam kya hoga

Pi lenge botal se khumgah men sharaab
Per, mai e naab na ho Saqi to jaam kya hoga

Daaim ho hayaat gar jahan men sabki ki
Phir, zindagi ka kaho anjaam kya hoga

Yaad e khuda men gar ghuroob hon sab
Tere khutbe men Vaaiz paighaam kya hoga

Chalte rahen sab raah apni pe agar, ‘sahil’
To mahabat men phir inzimaam kya hoga

Khumgah. Maikada
Mai e naab. Pure heavenly wine
Daaim eternal
Ghuroob. Absorbed
Pand. Naseehat advice
Inzimaam. Confluence Proximity. Qurbat
