apni hatheliyon mein ujale samet lo
main shab-gazida hun mujhe tum dur phenk do

nazron ki rakh ke ungliyan meri shabon pe tum
mere akele-pan ka zara zahr chus lo

sadiyon ko de ke aaya hun kitne nae khayal
mera bhi nam safha-e-tarikh par likho

jitni tawil umr andheron ne pai hai
utni tawil hai meri tanhai nap lo

milta nahin hai sab ko ye sarmaya waqt ka
sochon ka karb pas sanbhaale hue rakho

kitna azim shakhs hai is daur ka 'saba'
is ke basit zehn ki tarikh ko padho
