kuch Khayal aate hain aur aa ke chale jate hain

aainaa-saa mujhe dikhala ke chale jaate hain

sath mar ke bhi raha mere gam-e-tanhai

varna ahabaah to dafana ke chale jaate hain

meri tanhai ke saathi mere saagar-minaa

ab to ye bhi mujhako bahakaa ke chale jate hain

kitani badanaam hai bazaar-e-muhabbat men vafa

log is chiiz ke paas aake chale jaate hain

jin ko ham apana samajhate the vahi ham ko ‘Saba’

dekh lete hain to katara ke chale jaate hain
