apnon ne diye dhoke ghairon ne sataya bhi

apnoñ ne diye dhoke ġhairoñ ne satāyā bhī

is par bhī ġhazal-ḳhvāñ haiñ kyā dil hai hamārā bhī

shahroñ ke makānoñ meñ hotā rahā aisā bhī

be-ghar ko panah de kar ghar vāloñ ne luuTā bhī

ḳhud aag lagāte haiñ apne hī makānoñ meñ

dekhā hai fasādoñ meñ ham ne ye tamāshā bhī

jis peḌ ke saa.e meñ miltā thā sukūñ sab ko

us peḌ ko logoñ ne kaaTā bhī jalāyā bhī

koī bhī nahīñ pohñchā sab mahv-e-tamāshā the

us Dūbne vaale ne māñgā thā sahārā bhī

hasrat-bharī āñkhoñ se dekho na mirī jānib

bujhtī huī chingārī ban jaatī hai sho'la bhī

hai un ko bhulā denā dushvār bahut 'sābir'

vo ham ko bhulā baiTheñ mumkin nahīñ aisā bhī

apnon ne diye dhoke ghairon ne sataya bhi

is par bhi ghazal-KHwan hain kya dil hai hamara bhi

shahron ke makanon mein hota raha aisa bhi

be-ghar ko panah de kar ghar walon ne luTa bhi

KHud aag lagate hain apne hi makanon mein

dekha hai fasadon mein hum ne ye tamasha bhi

jis peD ke sae mein milta tha sukun sab ko

us peD ko logon ne kaTa bhi jalaya bhi

koi bhi nahin pohncha sab mahw-e-tamasha the

us Dubne wale ne manga tha sahaara bhi

hasrat-bhari aankhon se dekho na meri jaanib

bujhti hui chingari ban jati hai sho'la bhi

hai un ko bhula dena dushwar bahut 'sabir'

wo hum ko bhula baiThen mumkin nahin aisa bhi
