kis ko batate kis se chhupate suragh-e-dil
chup sadh li hai zakhm dikhaya na dagh-e-dil

kaise karen bayan gham-e-jaan ki dastan
ai kash gul khilae hamara ye bagh-e-dil

guzre hamari zist ke ayyam is tarah
labrez aansuon se hai goya ayagh-e-dil

jab rakh ban gae to kaha ye harif ne
jal jal ke wo jalate rahe hain charagh-e-dil

jis se mile tawil zamana guzar gaya
shayad usi ke zehn mein ho kuchh suragh-e-dil

chahat ki ab to koi bhi hasrat nahin rahi
sarsabz us ki yaad se phir bhi hai bagh-e-dil

rakhti nahin 'sabila' kabhi aib par nazar
masruf pyar mein raha is ka faragh-e-dil
