saba ke hath pile ho gae
sabā ke haath piile ho ga.e
maiñ sā.at-e-sarshār meñ
lākhoñ duā.eñ
ḳhūb-sūrat ārzueñ
pesh kartā huuñ
Saba's Hands are Now Saffron
sabā mamnūn hai
lekin zabāñ hai
kuchh nahīñ kahtī
Saba's hands are now saffron
In the moment of fulfillment,
I offer countless blessings,
Beautiful hopes
Saba is grateful,
sabā ab roz o shab
dīvār-o-dar tan par sajātī hai
ab āñchal chhat kā sar par oḌhtī hai
lams-e-farsh-e-marmarīñ se
paañv kī taz.īn kartī hai
vo kohsāroñ shagufta vādiyoñ jharnoñ
chamakte nīl-gūñ ākāsh ke
naġhme nahīñ gaatī
sabā ab lāla-o-gul kī taraf shāyad nahīñ aatī
sabā shabnam-adā tasvīr-e-pā-basta
dar-e-rauzan meñ āvezāñ
hasīñ nāzuk badan
raushan munavvar sāhiloñ par ab nahīñ bahtī
sabā lab kholtī hai muskurātī hai
sabā sargoshiyoñ meñ
ab kisī se kuchh nahīñ kahtī
But says nothing
Night and day,
saba ke hath pile ho gae
main saat-e-sarshaar mein
lakhon duaen
KHub-surat aarzuen
pesh karta hun
Saba's Hands are Now Saffron
saba mamnun hai
lekin zaban hai
kuchh nahin kahti
Saba's hands are now saffron
In the moment of fulfillment,
I offer countless blessings,
Beautiful hopes
Saba is grateful,
saba ab roz o shab
diwar-o-dar tan par sajati hai
ab aanchal chhat ka sar par oDhti hai
lams-e-farsh-e-marmarin se
panw ki tazin karti hai
wo kohsaron shagufta wadiyon jharnon
chamakte nil-gun aakash ke
naghme nahin gati
saba ab lala-o-gul ki taraf shayad nahin aati
saba shabnam-ada taswir-e-pa-basta
dar-e-rauzan mein aawezan
hasin nazuk badan
raushan munawwar sahilon par ab nahin bahti
saba lab kholti hai muskuraati hai
saba sargoshiyon mein
ab kisi se kuchh nahin kahti
But says nothing
Night and day,
