jhukna padta hai wo ghusse se jo tan jate hain
aap hum ruthte hain aap hi man jate hain

hon khushamad ki jo baaten to wo man jate hain
kaam bigde hue baaton hi mein ban jate hain

khub nibhti hai ki jab kuchh na rahe baat ka pas
jis tarah taba ho hum waise hi ban jate hain

meri hamdardi hai bulbul ko bachana ya-rab
dam-e-sayyaad liye su-e-chaman jate hain

tum raho ghairon mein ab sharm rakho ya na rakho
hum hi is bazm se ai ahd-shikan jate hain

the abhi to wo yahan kahte hain aur dhundhte hain
khwab hum dekh ke diwane se ban jate hain

is tarah phirti hain nazren teri hum se be-did
chaukdi bharte hue jaise hiran jate hain

un se matlab nikal aate hain sab aasani se
khub lad-bhid ke jo aapas mein wo chhan jate hain

hum gade jate hain kya kya na haya se dil mein
dene jab ghair ko wo gor-o-kafan jate hain

kyon kisi aur ka ghussa wo utaren hum par
bich mein bol ke hum muft mein san jate hain

jab bahaar aai wahi dasht wahi tum 'sabir'
aap diwane hain jo su-e-watan jate hain
