sang-rezon ki tarah pesh-e-nazar rahte hain
mere kase mein pade lal-o-gohar rahte hain

sae chunte hain kadi dhup ke sahra se hum
pa-shikasta hain magar mahw-e-safar rahte hain

kal koyal ki sadaen na shafaq rang kahin
shahr mein jaane kahan sham-o-sahar rahte hain

khelte hain mere aangan mein wo khush khush baham
ranj khushiyon se bahut shir-o-shakar rahte hain

khema-zan ho to gae khana-badoshi na gai
be-ghari mein bhi sada dosh pe ghar rahte hain

qahat-sali hai basirat ki nagar mein 'sabir'
kor-chashmon se yahan ahl-e-nazar rahte hain
