ye log hain kaise ki jinhen gham nahin hota
mar jae agar koi to matam nahin hota

har dard ki qismat mein dawa bhi nahin hoti
har zakhm ki taqdir mein marham nahin hota

ho jata hai shadabi-e-rukhsar se mahrum
wo phul jo aasuda-e-shabnam nahin hota

izhaar-e-tamanna ki koi rut nahin hoti
iqrar-e-wafa ka koi mausam nahin hota

har dar pe jo jhuk jae use sar nahin kahte
sar wo hai ki jo war pe bhi kham nahin hota

ye dard-e-mohabbat bhi ajab dard hai 'sabir'
badhta hai to badhta hai kabhi kam nahin hota
