Dhani Surmai Sabz Gulabi Jaise Man Ka Aanchal Sham

Badr Wasti

dhani surma.i sabz gulabi jaise maan ka anchal shaam

kaise kaise rang dikha.e roz labalab chhagal shaam

charvahe ko ghar pahuncha.e pahre-dar se ghar chhuḌva.e

aate jaate chheḌti jaa.e darvaze ki sankal shaam

suraj ke papon ki gaThri sar par laade thaki thaki si

ḳhamoshi se munh laTka.e chal deti hai paidal shaam

behis duniya-daron ko ho duniya ki har chiiz mubarak

gham-zadon ka sarmaya hain aansu aahen botal shaam

suraj ke jaate hi apne rang pe aa jaati hai duniya

jane-bujhe chup rahti hai shab ke moḌ pe komal shaam

sanson ki pur-shor Dagar pe raqs karega sannaTa

chupke se jis roz achanak chhanka degi paa.el shaam

‘badr’ tumhen kya haal suna.in itna hi bas kaafi hai

tanha.i men kaT jaati hai jaise-taise maḳhmal shaam
