jo ashk na chhalke aankhon se us ashk ki qeemat hoti hai

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 karta hai tu ek qayaamat ka charcha
yahaan roz nigaahen milti hain, yahaan roz qayaamat hoti hai

woh purshish-e-gham ko aaye hain, kuch keh na sakoon, chup reh na sakoon
khaamosh rahoon to mushkil hai, keh doon to shikaayat hoti hai

karna hi padegaa zapt-e-alam, peene hi padenge yeh aansoo
fariyaad-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
