zara soz-e-dil bazm ka saz dena
ki khud bolna hai khud aawaz dena

ajab zauq-e-pinhan hai rang-e-tapish mein
tasalli na ai shokh-andaz dena

kabhi dhundhna go shaha-e-haram mein
kabhi dair mein ja ke aawaz dena

gulon ke hain aaghosh wa bahr-e-rukhsat
zara badh ke bulbul ko aawaz dena

na le mera iman ai be-niyazi
ki hai nazr jalwa-gah-e-naz dena

khayaban khayaban mein paiham tajassus
bayaban bayaban mein aawaz dena

udhar meri tauba ki dhaaras bandhana
idhar mujh ko saghar ba-sad-naz dena

hai gum-karda rah-e-mohabbat mein 'saqib'
zara mud ke phir us ko aawaz dena
