jahan mein hai har ek ek na ek ada ke liye
koi wafa ke liye hai koi jafa ke liye

hai ek ghunt bahut shaikh-e-parsa ke liye
gilas bhar ke na do mai-kasho khuda ke liye

hamare dard ko be-dard dard jaane kya
ye dard wo hai ki hai dard-ashna ke liye

kahin tumhin ko tumhaari nazar na ho jae
na dekho aaina ai jaan-e-man khuda ke liye

falak ko tod ke arsh-e-barin hila dena
hai sahl kaam mere nala-e-rasa ke liye

zahe-nasib ki apne wafa-shiaron mein
mujhi ko chun liya us shokh ne jafa ke liye

hadaf banaega dil ko mere jigar ko bhi
teri nigah ka paikan nahin khata ke liye

falak se hoti hain nazil balaen ban ban kar
kabhi jo hath uthata hun main khuda ke liye

jahan mein koi is se juda nahin ai dil
khata bashar ke liye hai bashar khata ke liye

agar hai sar tere khanjar ke waste ai tark
to hai jigar bhi mera nawak-e-ada ke liye

mila usi ko maza zindagi ka ai 'sabir'
jo mar-mita hai kisi shokh-e-parsa ke liye
