khamoshi kah rahi hai ab ye do-aabaa ravaan hogaa — Abbas Qamar

haalat-e-haal se begaana banaa rakkhaa hai
khud ko maazi kaa nihaan-khaana banaa rakkhaa hai

khush hain to phir musaafir-e-duniyaa nahin hain aap
is dasht mein bas aabla-paai hai roiye

mere kamre mein udaasi hai qayaamat ki magar
ek tasvir puraani si hansaa karti hai

inhein aankhon ne bedardi se be-ghar kar diyaa hai
ye aansu qahqaha banne ki koshish kar rahe the

ham hain asir-e-zabt ijaazat nahin hamein
ro paa rahe hain aap badhaai hai roiye

ashkon ko aarzu-e-rihaai hai roiye
aankhon ki ab isi mein bhalaai hai roiye

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

baadalon ne aaj barsaayaa lahu
amn kaa har faakhta rone lagaa

'saabir' teraa kalaam sunein kyuun na ahl-e-fan
bandish ajab hai aur ajab bol chaal hai

shagufta baagh-e-sukhan hai hamin se ai 'saabir'
jahaan mein misl-e-nasim-e-bahaar ham bhi hain

tum ne kyuun dil mein jagah di hai buton ko 'saabir'
tum ne kyuun kaaba ko but-khaana banaa rakkhaa hai
