bolte hain dilon ke sannaaTe — Ada Jafarey

bas ek baar manaayaa thaa jashn-e-mahrumi
phir us ke baad koi ibtilaa nahin aai

na bahlaavaa na samjhautaa judaai si judaai hai
'adaa' socho to khushbu kaa safar aasaan nahin hotaa

main aandhiyon ke paas talaash-e-sabaa mein huun
tum mujh se puchhte ho miraa hausla hai kyaa

hamaare shahr ke logon kaa ab ahvaal itnaa hai
kabhi akhbaar paDh lenaa kabhi akhbaar ho jaanaa

agar sach itnaa zaalim hai to ham se jhuuT hi bolo
hamein aataa hai patjhaD ke dinon gul-baar ho jaanaa

varna insaan mar gayaa hotaa
koi be-naam justuju hai abhi

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa

ik nazar ne kiyaa hai kaam tamaam
aarzu bhi to thi yahi dil ki

vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa
main jo kal pairahan-e-khaak badal kar aayaa
