main khud gaya na us ki ada le gai mujhe
maqtal mein rasm-e-pas-e-wafa le gai mujhe

andar se khokhla jo tha balloon ki tarah
chaha jidhar hawa ne uda le gai mujhe

ek harf tha jo tum ne suna an-suna kiya
ab dhundte phiro ki sada le gai mujhe

sahil se mera panw phisalne ki der thi
ek mauj-e-be-panah baha le gai mujhe

baitha tha chhup ke os ki thandi phuwar mein
aai kadakti dhup utha le gai mujhe

jata kahan ki aage koi rasta na tha
andhi gupha mein meri ana le gai mujhe

'sabir' main reza reza khala mein bikhar gaya
itni bulandiyon pe hawa le gai mujhe
