jo adu-e-bagh ho barbaad ho
koi ho gulchin ho ya sayyaad ho

mujh sa aashiq morid-e-bedad ho
tum bade saffak ho jallad ho

kucha-e-jaanan se matlab hai hamein
dair viran ho haram barbaad ho

qaid-e-mazhab waqai ek rog hai
aadmi ko chahiye aazad ho

daur daur-e-mohtasib hai saqiya
hae kyunkar mai-kada aabaad ho

bik gae hain aap to ghairon ke hath
banda-parwar ab ghulam aazad ho

ye tamiz allah de sayyaad ko
bagh viran ho qafas aabaad ho

sarw-qaddon se agar pala pade
khub sidha bagh mein shamshad ho

aaina dil ka jo dikhlaun unhen
ja-e-hairat ho ajab rudad ho

tum wo ho mar jaen to bhi gham na ho
aish ho ishrat ho khush ho shad ho

gumbad-e-gardun par ai dil aah se
kuchh na kuchh aafat pade uftad ho

maut hansti hai khizar ke haal par
ta-kuja hasti-e-be-buniyaad ho

mausam-e-gul ho junun ka josh ho
ja-ba-ja haddad ho fassad ho

kan rakh kar wo mere nale sune
zulf dud-e-shola-e-fariyaad ho

main wo bulbul hun jise dono hain ek
bagh ho ya khana-e-sayyaad ho

nazr sar karta hun main ai shah-e-husn
hukm ho jallad ko irshad ho

rang laya hai ladakpan aap ka
nau-bahaar-e-gulshan-e-ijad ho

kya qayamat hai bura ho maut ka
hum na hon ye aalam-e-ijad ho

bar-e-ilaha yun uthen mahshar ko hum
hath ho aur daman jallad ho

zahir-o-baatin mein ai dil farq ho
but baghal mein ho khuda ki yaad ho

un raqibon ko khuda ghaarat kare
aap hon ye aashiq-e-nashad ho

aap ko apni khushi se kaam hai
koi na-khush ho koi nashad ho

aah aandhi hai mitane ke liye
naqsh-e-hasti chahiye barbaad ho

jae gulshan mein jo tu ai naunihaal
kya tawarud misra-e-shamshad ho

khub hai us gul ko lae rah par
ai 'saba' tum bhi bade ustad ho
