hasinon ki donon adaaein hain dilbar — Afsar Allahabadi

tumhaare hijr mein kyuun zindagi na mushkil ho
tumhin jigar ho tumhin jaan ho tumhin dil ho

na ho yaa rab aisi tabiat kisi ki
ki hans hans ke dekhe musibat kisi ki

mujhe gum-shuda dil kaa gham hai to ye hai
ki is mein bhari thi mohabbat kisi ki

khabar deti hai yaad kartaa hai koi
jo baandhaa hai hichki ne taar aate aate

hamaaraa koh-e-gham kyaa sang-e-khaaraa hai jo kaT jaataa
agar mar mar ke zinda kohkan hotaa to kyaa hotaa

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

kar na jurat tu ai tabib ki ye
dil kaa dhaDkaa hai ikhtilaaj nahin

kisi ko saal-e-nau ki kyaa mubaarakbaad di jaae
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badaltaa hai

ye vasl ki rut hai ki judaai kaa hai mausam
ye gulshan-e-dil hai ki bayaabaan kahin kaa

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte
