gham mein jo masarrat ke pahlu nikal aate hain
hum lakh chhupate hain aansu nikal aate hain

miad badhate hain wo qaid-e-mohabbat ki
hum bach ke asiran-e-gesu nikal aate hain

kya rahraw-e-hasti ne phir rah-e-talab kho di
kyon shab ke andhere mein jugnu nikal aate hain

jab bhi teri zulfon ka charcha kahin hota hai
takhil ke goshe se ba-mu nikal aate hain

kyon barbat-e-dil chheden zakhmon ke gulistan mein
kya jaaniye kya guzre jadu nikal aate hain

'sabir' gham-e-hasti mein mayus na ho jaen
har haal mein jine ke pahlu nikal aate hain
