muskuraae vo haal-e-dil sun kar — Fani Badayuni

yuun na qaatil ko jab yaqin aayaa
ham ne dil khol kar dikhaai choT

vahm-o-qayaas ke sivaa haasil-e-hosh kuchh nahin
fahm ki ibtidaa hai vahm aql ki had qayaas hai

har nafas umr-e-guzishta ki hai mayyat 'faani'
zindagi naam hai mar mar ke jiye jaane kaa

har musibat kaa diyaa ek tabassum se javaab
is tarah gardish-e-dauraan ko rulaayaa main ne

maujon ki siyaasat se maayus na ho 'faani'
girdaab ki har tah mein saahil nazar aataa hai

yaa-rab tiri rahmat se maayus nahin 'faani'
lekin tiri rahmat ki taakhir ko kyaa kahiye

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

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

sitam hai sitam kaaba-e-dil kaa Dhaanaa
ye kyaa kar rahe ho ye kyaa ho rahaa hai

ik shakl hamein phir bhaai hai ik surat dil mein samaai hai
ham aaj bahut sarshaar sahi par aglaa moD judaai hai
