dil hai miraa rangini-e-aaghaaz pe maail — Figar Unnavi

maayus dilon ko ab chheDo bhi to kyaa haasil
TuuTe hue paimaane fariyaad nahin karte

fazaa kaa tang honaa fitrat-e-aazaad se puchho
par-e-parvaaz hi kyaa jo qafas ko aashiyaan samjhe

ik teraa aasraa hai faqat ai khayaal-e-dost
sab bujh gae charaagh shab-e-intizaar mein

un pe qurbaan har khushi kar di
zindagi nazr-e-zindagi kar di

saaqi ne nigaahon se pilaa di hai ghazab ki
rindaan-e-azal dekhiye kab hosh mein aaein

partav-e-husn se zarre bhi bane aaine
kitne jalve kiye arzaan tiri raanaai ne

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

duur ham se hain vo to kyaa Dar hai
paas hai apne aarsi dil ki

jab bhi aql banaati hai pahlaa misraa
dil ko misra-e-saani honaa paDtaa hai

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
