Saqi Amrohvi

dar-ba-dar hone se pahle kabhi socha bhi na tha
ghar mujhe raas na aaya to kidhar ja.unga

madrasa mera meri zaat men hai
khud moallim huun khud kitab huun main

zindagi bhar mujhe is baat ki hasrat hi rahi
din guzarun to koi raat suhani aa.e

mujh ko kya kya na dukh mile 'saqi'
mere apnon ki mehrbani se

men ab tak din ke hangamon men gum tha
magar ab shaam hoti ja rahi hai

tu nahin to tira khayal sahi
koi to ham-khayal hai mera

kitne hi gham nikharne lagte hain
ek lamhe ki shaadmaani se

zindagi bhar mujhe is baat ki hasrat hi rahi
din guzaarun to koi raat suhaani aae

madrasa meraa meri zaat mein hai
khud moallim huun khud kitaab huun main

tu nahin to tiraa khayaal sahi
koi to ham-khayaal hai meraa

dar-ba-dar hone se pahle kabhi sochaa bhi na thaa
ghar mujhe raas na aayaa to kidhar jaaungaa

mujh ko kyaa kyaa na dukh mile 'saaqi'
mere apnon ki mehrbaani se
