ba-har-alam barabar likh raha hun
main pyasa hun samundar likh raha hun

sadaf andar sadaf the jo maani
unhen gauhar-ba-gauhar likh raha hun

nahin ye shairi hargiz nahin hai
main khud apna muqaddar likh raha hun

har ek tifl-e-qalam ye sochta hai
main kal duniya se behtar likh raha hun

nazar aati nahin jo dil ki duniya
use manzar-ba-manzar likh raha hun

mai-lab se mujhe khush karne walo
tumhaare nam kausar likh raha hun

jo masti hai mera maqsum 'sahba'
use saghar-ba-saghar likh raha hun
