dil iztirab mein hai jigar iltihab mein
dekha hai jab se main ne kisi ko naqab mein

khul jaane mein wo kaif aur wo dilkashi kahan
hai jab kisi ki sharm-o-haya-o-hijab mein

main khinchta hun hath sukun ki talash se
jab dekhta hun ek jahan ko azab mein

ai shaikh kash tu bhi kabhi pi ke dekhta
hai talkhi-e-hayat ka darman sharab mein

ye shokhiyan ye ghaflaten ye hoshyariyan
andaz sau tarah ke hain tere shabab mein

kya aaj bhi rahengi sitaron se chashm-gin
kya aaj bhi na aaenge wo mahtab mein

ek ek ada-e-husn hamari nazar mein hai
ulfat ki chashni hai nigah-e-itab mein

'saib' na puchh haal-e-dil-e-gham-zadah na puchh
har sans meri in dinon hai iztirab mein
