hamin nahin gham-o-alam ke satae hue
har ek shakhs koi dard hai chhupae hue

tumhin ko yaro mubarak hon saghar-o-mina
wo din gae the jo hum mai-kada sajae hue

sabhi ko chahiye saqi ki multafit nazren
magar hai saqi-e-dauran nazar chhupae hue

bade jatan se jinhen muntakhab kiya hum ne
wahi sire se hamin ko hain kyon bhulae hue

chale bhi aao shab-e-hijr badhti jati hai
charagh dil ke lahu se hain hum jalae hue

hai bhola-bhaala sa chehra adaen bhi hain hasin
buri nazar se rakho khud ko tum bachae hue

kabhi to dekh meri samt ai jahan wale
main ji raha hun yahan bar-e-gham uthae hue

tere siwa na kisi aur dar pe mere khuda
pade na jina kabhi mujh ko sar jhukae hue

meri nigah mein 'sahir' azim log hain wo
hamesha dil jo ibaadat mein hain lagae hue
