ai sukhnawar tarah guman hun main
ya faqat harf-e-raegan hun main

aks jal bujh gae bujha chehra
aaine se utha dhuan hun main

hai mayassar mata-e-tishna-labi
khushk dariya ka pasban hun main

aag se bair dhup bhi hai adu
aur ek mom ka makan hun main

mushtarak hum mein hijraton ki thakan
titliyon ka mizaj-dan hun main

tajarbe ki ghaneri chhanw liye
ek kohna sa saeban hun main

kab mita de mujhe hawa ki lakir
rah-rau ret par nishan hun main

kal mera wasf tha tariq-e-suluk
aaj be-nam be-nishan hun main

shahr mein harf-e-ashna hi nahin
faiz kya lafz be-karan hun main

jo haqiqat the wo gae 'sabir'
ek mauhum dastan hun main
