zulf-e-shab ka saya bhi kis qadar ghanera hai
dil se un ki mahfil tak rasta andhera hai

aariz-e-tabassum par ghaza-e-takalluf kyon
muskura ke dekho to har taraf sawera hai

shakh-e-gul si bahen hon ya khunak hawaen hon
tair-e-takhayyul ka kab kahin basera hai

un ka nam jab lenge dil zarur dhadkega
un ki yaad ka jab tak mere dil mein dera hai

daman-e-mohabbat mein aansuon ke moti hain
ya chaman mein shabnam ne lal-o-zar bikhera hai

tum mata-e-gham 'sabir' jaise ho bacha lena
rahzanon ki basti hai dakuon ka dera hai
