jo us be-rahm par apna dil-e-khana-kharab aaya
gae sabr-o-tahammul hosh-o-taqat iztirab aaya

hawa badli ghata chhai wo barish ka sahab aaya
magar ab tak na ai pir-e-mughan daur-e-sharab aaya

sar-e-mahshar wo yar-e-shoala-ru jab be-naqab aaya
to ahl-e-hashr chikh utthe zamin par aaftab aaya

sar-e-mahfil adu se wasl ka iqrar karna tha
tumhein kuchh bhi haya aai tumhein kuchh bhi hijab aaya

shab-e-furqat kisi ne bhi na mujh nakaam ko puchha
na tum aae na maut aai na sabr aaya na khwab aaya

jafa-ju sang-dil be-rahm hai wada-shikan hai wo
tu aaya bhi to kis par ai dil-e-khana-kharab aaya

ghazab hai yar ne sar kat kar bheja hai qasid ka
jawab aaya hamare name ka to ye jawab aaya

hui tauba bhi tukde tukde misl-e-saghar-o-mina
hamare samne ai shaikh jab daur-e-sharab aaya

jo chhu li zulf-e-pur-kham main ne barham ho gae mujh se
hansi ki baat thi sahab magar tum ko itab aaya

khula sab haal hum par is jahan ki be-sabaati ka
mita sath-e-samandar par ubhar kar jo habab aaya

abhi tak hai wahi ghaflat safedi baalon par aai
utho bahr-e-khuda 'sabir' ki sar par aaftab aaya
