Saifi Azmi

kaash itnaa hi samajh lete ye ahl-e-kaarvaan
faasle baDh jaate hain sahmi hui raftaar se

khushi se phulein na ahl-e-sahraa abhi kahaan se bahaar aai
abhi to pahunchaa hai aablon tak miraa mazaaq-e-barhana-paai

har lafz-e-aarzu mein jhalak un ki aa gai
un ko nikaaltaa hi rahaa daastaan se main

aankh nam rukh par udaasi dard bhi dil ke qarib
kyaa mohabbat aa gai hai apni manzil ke qarib
