zabt ka hausla baqi na shakebai hai
teri chahat mujhe kis mod pe le aai hai

be-sabab bhi to hue hum na asir-e-gesu
dil ne bahkaya hai ya laghzish-e-binai hai

dil ki duniya mein hui phir koi halchal paida
is qadar rah-e-wafa aaj jo gahnai hai

koi bhi to na shab-e-tar mein kaam aaya mere
kahne ko chand sitaron se shanasai hai

sans lene pe hai pabandi dua jine ki
ai masiha ye bhala kaisi masihai hai

apni hi zat mein ek hashr bapa rahta hai
dil tamasha hai meri aankh tamashai hai

teri jaanib hi sada rakhti hai mail mujh ko
koi aisi tere atwar mein gahrai hai

un ke kuche se gurezan to nahin hun 'sair'
roz ka milna bhi to bais-e-ruswai hai
