gharq-e-gham hun teri khushi ke liye
yahi sajda hai bandagi ke liye

har kisi ke liye gham-e-ishrat
ishrat-e-gham kisi kisi ke liye

naqsh manzil hai zarre zarre mein
rah-nawardan-e-agahi ke liye

jab se apna samajh liya sab ko
mil gae kaam zindagi ke liye

ab nigahon mein wo samae hain
ab nigahen nahin kisi ke liye

ye jahan gham-kada sahi lekin
ek tamasha hai ajnabi ke liye

itni khizr-agahi ke baad 'sahab'
dhundiye kis ko gum-rahi ke liye
