sanwar jae bhi to munh dekhne darpan nahin milta
sañvar jaa.e bhī to muñh dekhne darpan nahīñ miltā
ġharībī kī kalā.ī meñ koī kañgan nahīñ miltā
baḌoñ kī ḳhvāhishoñ kā bojh hai nanhe se kandhoñ par
hamāre daur meñ bachchoñ ko ab bachpan nahīñ miltā
maiñ zid kar ke kabhī rotā to aañsū poñchh letī thī
abhī rotā huuñ to shafqat-bharā dāman nahīñ miltā
kahīñ jhūle nahīñ paḌte kabhī sarsoñ nahīñ phūlī
yahāñ pardes meñ aa kar mujhe sāvan nahīñ miltā
siyāsat kī dukānoñ se ḳharīdeñ haiñ na.e chehre
sabhī rahbar baneñ phirte haiñ ik rahzan nahīñ miltā
mire aslāf sā koī amānat-dār hai 'sābir'
agar masraf ho zaatī to diyā raushan nahīñ miltā
sanwar jae bhi to munh dekhne darpan nahin milta
gharibi ki kalai mein koi kangan nahin milta
baDon ki KHwahishon ka bojh hai nanhe se kandhon par
hamare daur mein bachchon ko ab bachpan nahin milta
main zid kar ke kabhi rota to aansu ponchh leti thi
abhi rota hun to shafqat-bhara daman nahin milta
kahin jhule nahin paDte kabhi sarson nahin phuli
yahan pardes mein aa kar mujhe sawan nahin milta
siyasat ki dukanon se KHariden hain nae chehre
sabhi rahbar banen phirte hain ek rahzan nahin milta
mere aslaf sa koi amanat-dar hai 'sabir'
agar masraf ho zati to diya raushan nahin milta
