kyaa huaa arsh par gayaa naala — Bayan Akbarabadi

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

'fitrat' dil-e-kaunain ki dhaDkan to zaraa sun
ye hazrat-e-insaan hi ki azmat kaa bayaan hai

dil jo ummid-vaar hotaa hai
tir-e-gham kaa shikaar hotaa hai

mere dil mein miri aankhon mein nazar mein rahiye
kam se kam aap kisi ek to ghar mein rahiye

na puchh us ki dil-afsurdagi ki kaifiyyat
jo gham-nasib khushi mein bhi muskuraa na sakaa
