khayal-o-khwab mein duniya sada basai gai
isi liye to haqiqat se aashnai gai

tumhaari wajah se milta tha har kisi se main
rahe na tum to sabhi se wo aashnai gai

tawil raat lage ab na din lage chhota
purane log gae dastan-sarai gai

mere badan ki hadon tak kiya mujhe mahdud
ye kis hisab se mujh ko saza sunai gai

tumhaare hijr mein ye haal ho gaya mera
tamam raat hi aankhon mein nind aai gai

mohabbaton ka sila bas yahi mila 'sabir'
hui jahan mein ruswai parsai gai
