ham us ki khaatir bachaa na paaeinge umr apni — Sabir

fasl boi bhi ham ne kaaTi bhi
ab na kahnaa zamin banjar hai

us ke shar se main sadaa maangtaa rahtaa huun panaah
isi duniyaa se mohabbat bhi balaa ki hai mujhe

hans hans ke us se baatein kiye jaa rahe ho tum
'saabir' vo dil mein aur hi kuchh sochtaa na ho

tire tasavvur ki dhuup oDhe khaDaa huun chhat par
mire liye sardiyon kaa mausam zaraa alag hai

ye kaarobaar-e-mohabbat hai tum na samjhoge
huaa hai mujh ko bahut faaeda khasaare mein

chilchilaati-dhup thi lekin thaa saaya ham-qadam
saaebaan ki chhaanv ne mujh ko akelaa kar diyaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

'umr bhar ki mushkilon ke darmiyaan
tu dhaDaktaa hi rahaa shaabaash dil

'umr guzri magar mohabbat mein
ek lamha bhi yaadgaar nahin

ye hai khulaasa-e-ilm-e-qalandari ki hayaat
khadang-e-jasta hai lekin kamaan se duur nahin
