ishq ka ikhtitam karte hain
dil ka qissa tamam karte hain

qahr hai qatl-e-am karte hain
tark turki tamam karte hain

taq-e-abru se un ke dar-guzre
hum yahin se salam karte hain

shaikh us se panah mangte hain
barahman ram ram karte hain

jauhari par tere dur-e-dandan
aab-o-dana haram karte hain

khatt-e-qismat padha nahin jata
sirf mantiq tamam karte hain

ya ilahi halal hon waiz
dukht-e-raz haram karte hain

aap ki munh lagi hai dukhtar-e-raz
baaten honton se jam karte hain

chali duniya se hum pa-e-uqba
kuch bhar maqam karte hain

apne dil par hai ikhtiyar hamein
mulk ka intizam karte hain

qabil-e-guftugu raqib nahin
aap kis se kalam karte hain

raat bhar mere nala-e-pur-dard
nind un ki haram karte hain

zulm hi ahmaqon ki munh-zori
tang ye be-lagam karte hain

dil se rang-e-dui mitate hain
zakhm ka iltiyam karte hain

ai 'saba' kyun kisi ka dil toden
kabe ka ehtiram karte hain
