khaali bhi to kar khaana-e-dil duniyaa se — Anjum Azmi

tujh se parda nahin mire gham kaa
tu miri zindagi kaa mahram hai

koi to khair kaa pahlu bhi nikle
akelaa kis tarah ye shar rahegaa

biThaa ke saamne tum ko bahaar mein pi hai
tumhaare rind ne tauba bhi ru-ba-ru kar li

ab na vo josh-e-vafaa hai na vo andaaz-e-talab
ab bhi lekin tire kuche se guzar hotaa hai

niklo bhi kabhi sud-o-ziyaan se varna
kuche mein tire kaun bhalaa aaegaa

dil na kaaba hai ne kalisaa hai
teraa ghar hai harim-e-mariyam 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

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

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

sitam hai sitam kaaba-e-dil kaa Dhaanaa
ye kyaa kar rahe ho ye kyaa ho rahaa hai
