na ho tu jis mein wo dil bhi hai kya dil
nikamma dil bura dil bad-numa dil

buton ko de diya nam-e-khuda dil
'sakha' meri bhi kya himmat hai kya dil

uthe aaghosh se jab dard uttha
hile pahlu se jab wo hil gaya dil

abhi kamsin hain ruswai ka dar hai
nahin lete kisi badnam ka dil

sungha kar nikhat-e-zulf-e-muambar
uda kar le gai baad-e-saba dil

phire mujh se to goya phir gaya bakht
badhe meri taraf to badh gaya dil

wahi kawish wahi sozish wahi dard
tera paikan hai goya mera dil

hamein bhi ranj-o-rahat ki khabar thi
hamare pas bhi tifli se tha dil

mere mahbub ke mahbub ho tum
fida hun dil pe main tum par fida dil

sambhal hi jaega insan hai yarab
pighal hi jaega patthar hai ya dil

'sakha' jo mujh pe guzregi sahunga
mere sine mein hai itna bada dil
