jab javaani gai chhuDaa kar haath — George Puech Shor

ruke hai aamad-o-shud mein nafas nahin chaltaa
yahi hai hukm-e-ilaahi to bas nahin chaltaa

jahaan mein zar kaa hai kaarkhaana na koi apnaa na hai yagaana
talaash-e-daulat mein hai zamaana khudaa hi haafiz hai muflisi kaa

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

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

adam se hasti mein jab ham aae na koi hamdard saath laae
jo apne the vo hue paraae ab aasraa hai to bekasi kaa

us maah-ru pe aankh kisi ki na paD saki
jalva thaa tuur kaa ki saraasar vo nuur thaa

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

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

mil-milaa ke donon ne dil ko kar diyaa barbaad
husn ne kiyaa be-khud ishq ne kiyaa aazaad

Dhal gai vasl ki shab Duub gayaa dil kaa charaagh
ab vahin baiThe rahein aap jahaan the baiThe

dil ne siine mein kuchh qaraar liyaa
jab tujhe khuub saa pukaar liyaa
