sab mit gae mange hai magar teri nazar aur
ab laen kahan se bata dil aur jigar aur

kam khak ghariban-e-mohabbat ko na jaano
utthenge isi khak se kal khak-ba-sar aur

har zarre mein bas ek hi zarra nazar aae
gar chashm-e-tamasha ko mile husn-e-nazar aur

kab baith sake manzil-e-hasti ko pahunch kar
aage jo bada is se hai wo ek safar aur

duniya mein mohabbat ki kami hai to bala se
aabaad mohabbat karen aa sham-o-sahar aur

kya tum ko takalluf hai meri chaaragari mein
ek tir-e-nazar tir-e-nazar tir-e-nazar aur

ye kya ki faqat khar hi qismat mein likhe hain
ai khana-e-bar-andaz-e-chaman kuchh to idhar aur

'sarwar' ki kati kis tarah aakhir shab-e-hijran
kuchh tu hi bata qissa-e-gham dida-e-tar aur
