ahbaab bhi ghairon ki adaa siikh gae hain — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

sar jhukaaoge to patthar devtaa ho jaaegaa
itnaa mat chaaho use vo bevafaa ho jaaegaa

raat kaa intizaar kaun kare
aaj kal din mein kyaa nahin hotaa

ujaale apni yaadon ke hamaare saath rahne do
na jaane kis gali mein zindagi ki shaam ho jaae

jis din se chalaa huun miri manzil pe nazar hai
aankhon ne kabhi miil kaa patthar nahin dekhaa

koi phuul saa haath kaandhe pe thaa
mire paanv shoalon pe jalte rahe

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

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa

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