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
