be-tarah dil mein bharaa rahtaa hai zulfon kaa dhuaan — Imdad Ali Bahr

qaazi ko jo rind kuchh chaTaa dein
masjid ki baghal mein mai-kada ho

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

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

ghar mein vahi piili tanhaai rahti hai
divaaron ke rang badalte rahte hain

dil bhi ajiib khaana-e-vahdat-pasand thaa
is ghar mein yaa to tu rahaa yaa be-dili rahi

dilon pe dard kaa imkaan bhi ziyaada nahin
vo sabr hai abhi nuqsaan bhi ziyaada nahin

dil jo ab shor kartaa rahtaa hai
kis qadar be-zabaan thaa pahle
