teri chashm-e-karam rahe mahfuz
aandhiyon mein bhi hum rahe mahfuz

azmat-e-zindagi isi se hai
lazzat-e-dard-o-gham rahe mahfuz

saif-o-neza se kya gharaz hum ko
bas hamara qalam rahe mahfuz

zabt-e-gham ka yahi taqaza hai
un ka dast-e-sitam rahe mahfuz

teri yaadon ki shama raushan hai
raunaq-e-sham-e-gham rahe mahfuz

aasman ne bahut sitam dhae
phir bhi wallah hum rahe mahfuz

ta-qayamat khuda kare 'sabir'
shama-e-taq-e-haram rahe mahfuz
