idhar bhi dekh zara be-qarar hum bhi hain
tere fidai tere jaan-nisar hum bhi hain

buto haqir na samjho hamein khuda ke liye
gharib banda-e-parwar-digar hum bhi hain

kahan ki tauba ye mauqa hai phul udane ka
chaman hai abr hai saqi hai yar hum bhi hain

misal-e-ghuncha udhar khanda-zan hai wo gul-e-tar
misal-e-abr idhar ashk-bar hum bhi hain

jigar ne dil se kaha dard-e-hijr-e-jaanan mein
ki ek tu hi nahin be-qarar hum bhi hain

mudam samne ghairon ke be-naqab rahe
isi pe kahte ho tum parda-dar hum bhi hain

hamein bhi dijiye apni gali mein thodi jagah
gharib balki gharib-ud-dayar hum bhi hain

shagufta bagh-e-sukhan hai hamin se ai 'sabir'
jahan mein misl-e-nasim-e-bahaar hum bhi hain
