tera munh gardish-e-ayyam kahan tak dekhun
ye bhayanak sahar-o-sham kahan tak dekhun

jazba-e-ishq ko nakaam kahan tak dekhun
sitam-e-gardish-e-ayyam kahan tak dekhun

ishq ka shewa-e-khud-kaam kahan tak dekhun
ye tilism-e-sahr-o-sham kahan tak dekhun

husn ko larza-bar-andam kahan tak dekhun
ishq-o-yaksaniyat-e-am kahan tak dekhun

o jafa-kesh jafaon se hazar lazim hai
tujh ko yun morid-e-ilzam kahan tak dekhun

harf aata hai teri shan-e-karam par saqi
apne hathon ko tahi-jam kahan tak dekhun

be-niyazi pe tujhe naz baja hai lekin
lab pe aae na mera nam kahan tak dekhun

ek jura to mujhe bhi tere mai-khane ki
dur se daur-e-mai-o-jam kahan tak dekhun

ab na wo dil hai na wo dil ki umangen baqi
aur ab ishq ka anjam kahan tak dekhun

be-rukhi aap ki mere dil-e-majbur ka sabr
kaun aata hai mere kaam kahan tak dekhun

said to said hai sayyaad bhi phans jata hai
tu na aaega tah-e-dam kahan tak dekhun

ek hi dar pe teri umr kati ai 'sabir'
yun mujhe banda-e-be-dam kahan tak dekhun
