Ek Shakl Be-Irada Sar-E-Baam Aa Gai

Sabir Waseem

ik shakl be-irada sar-e-bam aa ga.i

phir zindagi men faisle ki shaam aa ga.i

dasht o makan ke fasle be-rang-o-nur the

ik rang le ke gardish-e-ayyam aa ga.i

vo rahguzar jo aa.i to sar ko saja liya

daman ki ḳhaak aaj mire kaam aa ga.i

phir ik hisar TuuT gaya iḳhtiyar ka

phir ik sada-e-kucha-e-ilzam aa ga.i

ham bolte rahe to rahe lafz sang-e-rah

chup ho ga.e to manzil-e-ilham aa ga.i

‘sabir’ zamin pe ranj bhi us ne utare hain

lekin ye fard-e-jurm mire naam aa ga.i
