ab to vo ji saktaa hai — Baqi Siddiqui

is badalte hue zamaane mein
tere qisse bhi kuchh puraane lage

kuchh na paa kar bhi mutmain hain ham
ishq mein haath kyaa khazaane lage

yahi rasta hai ab yahi manzil
ab yahin dil kisi bahaane lage

rang-e-dil rang-e-nazar yaad aayaa
tere jalvon kaa asar yaad aayaa

ek hansti hui badli dekhi
ek jaltaa huaa ghar yaad aayaa

dosti khun-e-jigar chaahti hai
kaam mushkil hai to rasta dekho

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

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