dil jo TuTegaa to ik tarfa charaaghaan hogaa — Anwar Masood

jo hansnaa hansaanaa hotaa hai
rone ko chhupaanaa hotaa hai

is vaqt vahaan kaun dhuaan dekhne jaae
akhbaar mein paDh leinge kahaan aag lagi thi

chaae bhi achchhi banaati hain miri begam magar
munh banaane mein to un kaa koi saani hi nahin

raat aai hai balaaon se rihaai degi
ab na divaar na zanjir dikhaai degi

ajiib lutf thaa naadaaniyon ke aalam mein
samajh mein aaiin to baaton kaa vo maza bhi gayaa

hamein qarina-e-ranjish kahaan mayassar hai
ham apne bas mein jo hote tiraa gilaa karte

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 dil kab ishq ke qaabil rahaa hai
kahaan is ko dimaagh o dil rahaa hai

dil toD diyaa us ne ye kah ke nigaahon se
patthar se jo Takraae vo jaam nahin hotaa

hans hans ke javaan dil ke ham kyuun na chunein TukDe
har shakhs ki qismat mein inaam nahin hotaa

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