tamam moajaze sari shahadaten le kar
main aab o khak se guzra adawaten le kar

khud apne harf ke shoale mein jal ke lauta hun
main ek safar pe gaya tha hikayaten le kar

kashan-kashan lab-e-sahil utar gai mujh mein
udas raat samundar ki wusaten le kar

had-e-zaman-o-makan se guzar raha hun main
khud apne hone na hone ki hairaten le kar

abhi to zakhm sile the ki aasman se koi
meri taraf chala aaya jarahaten le kar

zamin ke logo suno hashr ab na utthega
guzar gaya koi sari qayamaten le kar

akela shahr mein phirta hun sara din 'sabir'
main apne bichhde huon ki shabahaten le kar
