aah-o-nala hai ashk-bari hai
hijr mein shakl ye hamari hai

subh-e-wasl ab nasib ho ki na ho
hijr ki raat hum pe bhaari hai

mar-mite hum to tum pe aur tumhein
aaj tak hum se parda-dari hai

teri shamshir-e-hijr ka qatil
dil-e-ashiq pe zakhm-e-kari hai

un ki jaanib se hai ghurur-e-sitam
meri jaanib se inkisari hai

hain jo sarshaar-e-baada-e-ulfat
un ki azmat bhi hoshiyari hai

qatl-e-ushshaq ke liye qatil
nigah-e-naz ki katari hai

bosa apni jabin ka den wo hamein
aisi qismat kahan hamari hai

sham se hijr-e-yar mein ta-subh
hum ne ro ro ke shab guzari hai

be-hijabi hai teri dushman se
aur aashiq se parda-dari hai

aap ke husn ki malahat se
pani chah-e-zaqan ka khaari hai

khat-e-rukhsar-e-yar ai 'sabir'
bagh-e-jannat ki sabz kyari hai
