sahar ko saath uDaa le gai sabaa jaise — Sattar Syed

samundaron ko sikhaataa hai kaun tarz-e-khiraam
zamin ki tah mein khazaane kahaan se aate hain

lahu mein phuul khilaane kahaan se aate hain
nae khayaal na jaane kahaan se aate hain

shaayad ab khatm huaa chaahtaa hai ahd-e-sukut
harf-e-eajaaz ki taasir se lab jaagte hain

yuun ehtimaam-e-radd-e-sahar kar diyaa gayaa
har raushni ko shahr-badar kar diyaa gayaa

kab ban-baas kaTe is shahar ke logon kaa
qufl khulein kab jaane band makaanon ke

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai

vo khat vo chehra vo zulf-e-siyaah to dekho
ki shaam subh ke baad aae subh shaam ke baad

aaj yaaron ko mubaarak ho ki subh-e-eid hai
raag hai mai hai chaman hai dilrubaa hai diid hai

qismat ki tirgi ki kahaani na puchhiye
subh-e-vatan bhi shaam-e-gharibaan hai aaj kal

jo hui subh to dekhe nae qadmon ke nishaan
aaj hi raat ko lauTe the safar se apne

shab ko mai khuub si pi subh ko tauba kar li
rind ke rind rahe haath se jannat na gai
