hujum-e-gham hai qalb gham-zada hai
meri mahfil mera khalwat-kada hai

azal se aaj tak koi na samjha
hayat-e-mukhtasar kya shoabada hai

bahakne de zara rindon ko saqi
yahi hangama jaan-e-mai-kada hai

kahan dekhoge tum apni tajalli
jo aaina hai wo hairat-zada hai

nazar kya jam-o-mina par uthaun
nigah-e-dost pura mai-kada hai

idhar bhi rukh kar ai baran-e-rahmat
hamara aashiyan aatish-zada hai

mere pine pe pabandi hai jab se
'saba' ujda hua sa mai-kada hai
