hujum-e-gham hai qalb gham-zada hai

hujūm-e-ġham hai qalb ġham-zada hai

mirī mahfil mirā ḳhalvat-kada hai

azal se aaj tak koī na samjhā

hayāt-e-muḳhtasar kyā sho.abada hai

bahakne de zarā rindoñ ko saaqī

yahī hañgāma jān-e-mai-kada hai

kahāñ dekhoge tum apnī tajallī

jo ā.īna hai vo hairat-zada hai

nazar kyā jām-o-mīnā par uThā.ūñ

nigāh-e-dost puurā mai-kada hai

idhar bhī ruḳh kar ai bārān-e-rahmat

hamārā āshiyāñ ātish-zada hai

mire piine pe pābandī hai jab se

'sabā' ujḌā huā sā mai-kada hai

hujum-e-gham hai qalb gham-zada hai

meri mahfil mera KHalwat-kada hai

azal se aaj tak koi na samjha

hayat-e-muKHtasar kya shoabada hai

bahakne de zara rindon ko saqi

yahi hangama jaan-e-mai-kada hai

kahan dekhoge tum apni tajalli

jo aaina hai wo hairat-zada hai

nazar kya jam-o-mina par uThaun

nigah-e-dost pura mai-kada hai

idhar bhi ruKH kar ai baran-e-rahmat

hamara aashiyan aatish-zada hai

mere pine pe pabandi hai jab se

'saba' ujDa hua sa mai-kada hai
