ahbab bhi hain KHub ki tashhir kar gae

ahbāb bhī haiñ ḳhuub ki tash.hīr kar ga.e

merā sukūt ishq se ta.abīr kar ga.e

jādū-asar the hoñT ki sāġhar ko chuum kar

kuchh aur hī sharāb kī tāsīr kar ga.e

har uzv jaise jism kā thā boltā huā

lahrā.e us ke haath ki taqrīr kar ga.e

az-bām tā-ba-mai-kada gesū dhuāñ dhuāñ

aalam tamām halqa-e-zanjīr kar ga.e

tahrīr-e-ḳhatt-e-jām se sab vā hue rumūz

ham uqda-e-miyān kī tadbīr kar ga.e

haañ kātibān-e-nāma-e-a.amāl ko thī kad

kuchh aur merī fard meñ tahrīr kar ga.e

'sahbā' vo ek lafz thā dīvār kā likhā

ham jo miTe to ishq kī tauqīr kar ga.e

ahbab bhi hain KHub ki tashhir kar gae

mera sukut ishq se tabir kar gae

jadu-asar the honT ki saghar ko chum kar

kuchh aur hi sharab ki tasir kar gae

har uzw jaise jism ka tha bolta hua

lahrae us ke hath ki taqrir kar gae

az-baam ta-ba-mai-kada gesu dhuan dhuan

aalam tamam halqa-e-zanjir kar gae

tahrir-e-KHatt-e-jam se sab wa hue rumuz

hum uqda-e-miyan ki tadbir kar gae

han katiban-e-nama-e-amal ko thi kad

kuchh aur meri fard mein tahrir kar gae

'sahba' wo ek lafz tha diwar ka likha

hum jo miTe to ishq ki tauqir kar gae
