zehn mein kuchh qayas rahta hai
nisf khali gilas rahta hai

har taraf rang-o-nur hai phir bhi
shahr kyun kar udas rahta hai

muflisi mein bhi hath phailaen
kuchh to izzat ka pas rahta hai

amn ka qatl ho gaya jab se
shahr ab bad-hawas rahta hai

tez raftar zindagani mein
hadisa aas-pas rahta hai

daur patthar ka phir se laut aaya
ab jahan be-libas rahta hai

hum faqiron ka tarz hai 'sabir'
tan pe sada libas rahta hai
