phir un ko arz-e-gham pe hansi aa rahi hai aaj
duniya mere sukun ki luti ja rahi hai aaj

zabt-e-hawas ki khair ho kyon taba-e-na-murad
phir waz-e-ehtiyat se ghabra rahi hai aaj

banda-nawaziyon ki khalish taba-e-naz ko
phir khidmat-e-niyaz pe uksa rahi hai aaj

allah re roab-e-husn ki bazm-e-nashat mein
har shai lab-e-khamosh bani ja rahi hai aaj

us paikar-e-shabab ki nakhwat-bhari nazar
har dawa-e-sabaat ko thukra rahi hai aaj

'sahir' na jaane kya ho ab anjam-e-zabt-e-shauq
phir yaad un ki dard ko tadpa rahi hai aaj
