jahan mein jis ki shohrat ku-ba-ku hai
wo mujh se aaj mahw-e-guftugu hai

raha aabaad khwabon mein jo ab tak
khusha qismat ki ab wo ru-ba-ru hai

kabhi wo pyar se ek phul lae
bahut din se meri ye aarzu hai

nahin aata ghazal mein nam koi
talluq is qadar ba-abru hai

mera ehsas jis se hai moattar
wahi khushbu to mere chaar-su hai

sarapa mera jo hai itna rangin
ye us ki yaad ka hi rang-o-bu hai

jahan kal tak tha mayusi ka sahra
wahan ummid ki ek aabju hai

wo aawazen jo dil mein gunjti hain
meri anfas ki wo haw-hu hai

mujhe le jae jo manzil ki jaanib
ab aise karwan ki justuju hai

mera zahir nazar aata hai jaisa
mera baatin bhi waisa hu-ba-hu hai

'sabila' soch itni pak rakkhi
har ek mazmun mera ba-wazu hai
