jaa phansaa dil zulf mein ab soiye — Dulhan Begum

din kaTaa fariyaad se aur raat zaari se kaTi
umr kaTne ko kaTi par kitni khvaari se kaTi

itne kam-zarf nahin ham jo bahakte jaavein
misl-e-gul jaavein jidhar jaavein mahakte jaavein

mat karo fikr imaarat ki koi zer-e-falak
khaana-e-dil jo giraa hai use taamir karo

bahaa hai phuuT ke aankhon se aabla dil kaa
tari ki raah se jaataa hai qaafila dil kaa

bayaan main kis se karun jaa ke ab gila dil kaa
ye dil kaa dil hi mein hovegaa faisla dil kaa

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

kyaa kyaa rog lage hain dil ko kyaa kyaa un ke bhed
ham sab ko samjhaane vaale kaun hamein samjhaae

tu bhi jaise badal saa jaataa hai
aks-e-divaar ke badalte hi

kar na jurat tu ai tabib ki ye
dil kaa dhaDkaa hai ikhtilaaj nahin

ye vasl ki rut hai ki judaai kaa hai mausam
ye gulshan-e-dil hai ki bayaabaan kahin kaa
