yaad-e-mehboob-e-maazi jagaanay chalay
Khud ko phir aaj hum aazmaanay chalay

kar gayii ham ko diiwaana fan ki lagan
uqta kay dost bhii sabh puraanae chalay

dard pii kar chale ham to kuu-e-ghazal
phir se ham rasm-e-ulfat nibhaane chalay

bin tire baaqii ummeed kii lau nahiiN
zindagi "saagar" ab kis bahaane chalay
