mumkin nahin ki ishq mein gham se mafar mile
mar jaun main qarar ki surat agar mile

kya kya na zindagi mein fareb-e-nazar mile
rahzan the asl mein jo hamein rahbar mile

le kar tumhaara nam jahan se guzar gaya
wo ek shakhs jis se na tum umr bhar mile

dair-o-haram to sajdon ki aamajgah hain
us ka nasib jis ko tera sang-e-dar mile

ummid-o-yas-o-hasrat-o-arman-o-arzu
kya kya na rah-e-gham mein mujhe ham-safar mile

ho jae un ko apne parae mein imtiyaz
yarab unhen bhi chashm-e-haqiqat-nigar mile

dil ka magar jawab nahin rah-e-ishq mein
milne ko yun hazar mujhe rahbar mile

apna kise banaen karen kis ka e'tibar
nale bhi un ke halqa-ba-gosh-e-asar mile

naseh ihanat-e-gham-e-jaanan nahin qubul
lun jaan de ke mujh ko mohabbat agar mile

pahli nazar mein mujh ko to apna bana liya
yani kuchh is ada se janab-e-'sahar' mile

'sabir' junun-e-shauq ne aasan bana diye
raste mein jo maqam mujhe pur-khatar mile
