tulu-e-saaat-e-shab-khun hai aur meraa dil — Ahmad Javaid

ek aansu se kami aa jaaegi
ghaaliban dariyaaon ke iqbaal mein

ajab safar thaa ajab-tar musaafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamaam huaa

dil se baahar aaj tak ham ne qadam rakkhaa nahin
dekhne mein zaahiraa lagte hain sailaani se ham

duniyaa mire paDos mein aabaad hai magar
meri duaa-salaam nahin us zalil se

sukh ki khaatir dukh mat bech
jaal ke pichhe jaal na Daal

gahvaara-e-safar mein khuli hai hamaari aankh
taamir apne ghar ki hui sang-e-mil se

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

toD kar kaabe ko masjid na banaao zaahid
khaana-barbaad kisi dil hi mein kar ghar paidaa

sunaa haal-e-dil-e-'majruh' shab ko
koi hasrat si hasrat thi bayaan mein

pechidgi-e-taba ki ye saaf hai dalil
maani ulajh ke rah gae un ke kalaam mein

aah qaasid to ab talak na phiraa
dil dhaDaktaa hai kyaa huaa hogaa
