dil aur duniyaa donon ko khush rakhne mein — Aftab Iqbal Shamim

phir se taalif-e-dil ho phir koi
is sahife ki ru-numaai kare

ishq mein ye majburi to ho jaati hai
duniyaa ghair-zaruri to ho jaati hai

ye hijratein hain zamin o zamaan se aage ki
jo jaa chukaa hai use lauT kar nahin aanaa

kyaa raat ke aashob mein vo khud se laDaa thaa
aaine ke chehre pe kharaashein si paDi hain

lamha munsif bhi hai mujrim bhi hai majburi kaa
faaeda shak kaa mujhe de ke bari kar jaae

lafzon mein khaali jaghein bhar lene se
baat adhuri, puuri to ho jaati hai

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

dil mein letaa hai chuTkiyaan koi
haae is dard ki davaa kyaa hai

paarsaai ki javaan-margi na puchh
tauba karni thi ki badli chhaa gai

hai qayaamat tire shabaab kaa rang
rang badlegaa phir zamaane kaa
