gulshan ki faqat phooloN se nahiN, kaaNToN se bhi zeenat hoti hai
jeene ke liye is duniyaa meiN GHam ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai

ae waaiz-e-naadaaN kartaa hai tu ek qayaamat kaa charchaa
yahaaN roz nigaaheN milti haiN, yahaaN roz qayaamat hoti hai

woh purshish-e-GHam ko aaye haiN, kuchh keh na sakooN, chup reh na sakooN
KHaamosh rahooN to mushkil hai, keh dooN to shikaayat hoti hai

karnaa hi padegaa zapt-e-alam, peene hi padeNge yeh aaNsoo
faryaad-o-fuGHaaN se ai naadaaN, tauheeN-e-muhabbat hoti hai

jo aa ke ruke daaman pe 'Saba' woh ashq nahiN hai paani hai!
jo ashk na chhalke aaNkhoN se us ashk ki qeemat hoti hai
