kab khet umidon ke tah-e-ab na aae
kis rut mein nirashaon ke sailab na aae

kuchh log madad ko to kinaron pe khade the
par dubne wale hi sar-e-ab na aae

ai zist hue dost mere surkh-ru jin se
mujh ko teri mahfil ke wo aadab na aae

is shahr mein sharminda har ek dar pe na hote
kyon hathon ko hum sang tale dab na aae

darta hun 'saba' kasrat-e-baran-e-karam se
dil ret ka ghar hai kahin sailab na aae
