qabr par baad-e-fana aaiyega

qabr par bād-e-fanā ā.iyegā

be-mahal paañv na phailā.iyegā

laakh ho vasl kā va.ada lekin

vaqt par saaf nikal jā.iyegā

jaa.eñ dam bhar ko to farmāte haiñ

chhāvnī to na kahīñ chhā.iyegā

sar hue is ke mulamma.a se na aap

zulf-e-mushkīñ se ḳhatā pā.iyegā

na kareñ aap vafā ham ko kyā

bevafā aap hī kahlā.iyegā

uTh gayā dil se duī kā pardā

chhup ke ab aap kahāñ jā.iyegā

kahkashāñ saaf banegā rasta

aap tausan ko jo chamkā.iyegā

rañg lā.egī nazākat baḌh kar

phuul ke baar se pattā.iyegā

kyā kareñ vasf-e-dahan Darte haiñ

muñh meñ jo aa.egā farmā.iyegā

zulf ko haath lagā.eñge jo ham

beḌiyāñ paaoñ meñ pahnā.iyegā

dekheñ raġhbat se to kahtā hai vo shoḳh

koī halvā hai ki khā jā.iyegā

kyā kiyā ishq ne kyuuñ hazrat-e-dil

ham na kahte the ki pachhtā.iyegā

aap chalte to haiñ aTkheliyoñ se

koī aafat na kahīñ lā.iyegā

ai 'sabā' ishq-e-parī-rūyāñ meñ

ādamiyyat se guzar jā.iyegā

qabr par baad-e-fana aaiyega

be-mahal panw na phailaiyega

lakh ho wasl ka wada lekin

waqt par saf nikal jaiyega

jaen dam bhar ko to farmate hain

chhawni to na kahin chhaiyega

sar hue is ke mulamma se na aap

zulf-e-mushkin se KHata paiyega

na karen aap wafa hum ko kya

bewafa aap hi kahlaiyega

uTh gaya dil se dui ka parda

chhup ke ab aap kahan jaiyega

kahkashan saf banega rasta

aap tausan ko jo chamkaiyega

rang laegi nazakat baDh kar

phul ke bar se pattaiyega

kya karen wasf-e-dahan Darte hain

munh mein jo aaega farmaiyega

zulf ko hath lagaenge jo hum

beDiyan paon mein pahnaiyega

dekhen raghbat se to kahta hai wo shoKH

koi halwa hai ki kha jaiyega

kya kiya ishq ne kyun hazrat-e-dil

hum na kahte the ki pachhtaiyega

aap chalte to hain aTkheliyon se

koi aafat na kahin laiyega

ai 'saba' ishq-e-pari-ruyan mein

aadamiyyat se guzar jaiyega
