tera hi nam kafi hai to ghairon ka bayan kyon ho
nae kirdar se bojhal ye meri dastan kyon ho

tere bhi panw badhte hain meri bahen bhi phaili hain
to phir ye fasla itna hamare darmiyan kyon ho

agar hai rahbar sadiq to koi rah dikhlae
jo bhatke dar-ba-dar aise wo mir-e-karwan kyon ho

ho dil mein gham magar pur-nam na ho aankhen kabhi teri
chhupa hai dil mein jo dariya wo aankhon se rawan kyon ho

zara bazm-e-sukhan dekhe mera meyar-e-fan logo
diya hai jo khuda ne fan mujhe wo raegan kyon ho

kai kohsar dard-o-gham ke duniya mein uthane hain
to phir ye hijr ki shab ek mujh par sargiran kyon ho

ye achchha hai ki soz-e-ishq mein chup-chap jal jaen
faqat tashhir ki khatir 'sahab' itna dhuan kyon ho
