aasudgi-aamoz ho jab aabla-paai — Hameed Naseem

dekhte dekhte teraa chehra aur ik chehra ban jaataa hai
ik maanus malul saa chehra kab dekhaa thaa bhuul gayaa huun

kyaa khabar meraa safar hai aur kitni duur kaa
kaaghzi ik naav huun aur tez-rau paani mein huun

na yaad ki chubhan koi na koi lau malaal ki
main jaane kitni duur yunhi khud se be-khabar gayaa

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

main tujh ko yaad kartaa huun ilaahi
tire bhi dil mein hogi yaad meri

dilli hui hai viraan suune khanDar paDe hain
viraan hain mohalle sunsaan ghar paDe hain

vaada jhuTaa kar liyaa chaliye tasalli ho gai
hai zaraa si baat khush karnaa dil-e-naashaad kaa

bane hain jab se vo lailaa nai mahmil mein rahte hain
jise divaana karte hain usi ke dil mein rahte hain
