Syed Saba Wasti

jal ke parvana jahan raakh bane
sham' ki aur vahan saakh bane

nazar ik zaviye ki tarjuman hai
ye jo taskhir-e-manzar hai guman hai

nishana chuuk bhi jaa.e bharosa choT khata hai
koi bhi vaar samjho to kabhi khali nahin jaata

raat se hone lagi hai haa.e ghabrahaT mujhe
chaunk uThta huun jo aa.e niind ki aahaT mujhe

apni nazren hain apne chehre pe
koi apne siva nahin rahta

dil se khela hai khilaunon ne bahut
ham khilaunon ke khilaune nikle

nishaana chuuk bhi jaae bharosa choT khaataa hai
koi bhi vaar samjho to kabhi khaali nahin jaataa

raat se hone lagi hai haae ghabraahaT mujhe
chaunk uThtaa huun jo aae niind ki aahaT mujhe

apni nazrein hain apne chehre pe
koi apne sivaa nahin rahtaa

dil se khelaa hai khilaunon ne bahut
ham khilaunon ke khilaune nikle

jal ke parvaana jahaan raakh bane
sham' ki aur vahaan saakh bane

nazar ik zaaviye ki tarjumaan hai
ye jo taskhir-e-manzar hai gumaan hai
