adu-e-jaan but-e-be-bak nikla
bada qatil bada saffak nikla

sanobar qad-kashi mein khak nikla
wo sarw-e-qad chaman ki nak nikla

farishton ko kiya mat aadmi ne
qayamat ka ye musht-e-khak nikla

uda di qaid-e-mazhab dil se hum ne
qafas se tair-e-idrak nikla

mohabbat se khula haal-e-zamana
ye dil lauh-e-tilism-e-khak nikla

nikal aai falak ki dur se ruh
bhanwar se khub ye tairak nikla

wo pazhmurda tha fasl-e-gul jo aai
chaman se surat-e-khashak nikla

shikar-afgan main dil ko jaanta tha
ghazal-e-basta-e-fitrak nikla

mare hum aarzu un ki bar aae
hamara hausla kya khak nikla

junun mein bagh-e-alam ko jo dekha
ajab sahra-e-wahshat-nak nikla

nikalti hai badan se jis tarah ruh
tere ghar se main yun ghamnak nikla

tumhaare qad se kuchh kam sarw thahra
sanobar to bahut kawak nikla

hamari sada-lauhi kaam aai
hisab-e-roz-e-mahshar pak nikla

tarara phirte hi pahuncha adam mein
samand-e-umr kya chaalak nikla

bhare ladkon ne daman pattharon se
jahan tera gareban chaak nikla

mitaya daur-e-saqi mohtasib ne
adu jamshed ka zahhak nikla

'saba' hum hashr ko mujrim jo nikle
shafaat ko shah-e-laulak nikla
