Banda Ab Na-Subur Hota Hai

Poet

banda ab na-subur hota hai

afv hove qusur hota hai

vo zamin par qadam nahin rakhte

husn ka kya ghurur hota hai

daulat husn ke lutane men

kharch kya ai huzur hota hai

surma ankhon men vo lagate hain

dekhiye kya futur hota hai

ham hain majbur aap hain mukhtar

kahiye kis se qusur hota hai

saaya us aftab-talat ka

dida-e-mah ka nuur hota hai

khaak hasil hai us se murdon ko

zar jo sarf-e-qubur hota hai

mai-kashon men mudam ai zahid

nara-e-ya-ghafur hota hai

vasl ho taliye na bose par

is se kya ai huzur hota hai

fikr rakhte nahin hain divane

bais-e-gham shuur hota hai

partav-e-rukh se un ka jeb-e-qaba

daman-e-koh-e-tur hota hai

khuub ashiq ka paas karte ho

har ghadi duur duur hota hai

ek hi nuur ka zamane men

sau tarah se zuhur hota hai

mujh ko nahaq halal karte hai

khuun ye be-qusur hota hai

kashti-e-mai chali to ai saaqi

bahr-e-gham se ubuur hota hai

ai ‘saba’ jab bahar aati hai

ham ko sauda zarur hota hai
