baadal ambar pe na dharti pe shajar hai baba

bādal ambar pe na dhartī pe shajar hai baabā

zindagī dhuup meñ sahrā kā safar hai baabā

tum kahāñ aa ga.e shīshoñ kī tamannā le kar

ye to ik sañg-faroshoñ kā nagar hai baabā

ham haiñ qaid-e-dar-o-dīvār se āzād hameñ

jis jagah raat guzārī vahī ghar hai baabā

man ho darvesh to phir tan pe qabā ho ki abā

jog baanā nahīñ andāz-e-nazar hai baabā

batn har sañg meñ dekhe jo koī paikar-e-nāz

kis ko hāsil vo sanam-sāz-nazar hai baabā

soch kar dasht-e-tamannā meñ qadam rakh 'sābir'

is marūthal meñ ba-har-gām ḳhatar hai baabā

baadal ambar pe na dharti pe shajar hai baba

zindagi dhup mein sahra ka safar hai baba

tum kahan aa gae shishon ki tamanna le kar

ye to ek sang-faroshon ka nagar hai baba

hum hain qaid-e-dar-o-diwar se aazad hamein

jis jagah raat guzari wahi ghar hai baba

man ho darwesh to phir tan pe qaba ho ki aba

jog bana nahin andaz-e-nazar hai baba

batn har sang mein dekhe jo koi paikar-e-naz

kis ko hasil wo sanam-saz-nazar hai baba

soch kar dasht-e-tamanna mein qadam rakh 'sabir'

is maruthal mein ba-har-gam KHatar hai baba
