aadmi aadmi se miltaa hai — Jigar Moradabadi

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

meri nigaah-e-shauq bhi kuchh kam nahin magar
phir bhi tiraa shabaab tiraa hi shabaab hai

vo nazron hi nazron mein savaalaat ki duniyaa
vo aankhon hi aankhon mein javaabaat kaa aalam

nigaah-e-shauq ne mahshar mein saaf taaD liyaa
kahaan vo chhupte ki aankhon mein the samaae hue

ham kahin aate hain vaaiz tire bahkaane mein
isi maikhaane ki miTTi isi maikhaane mein

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

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

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

maalum ab huaa hai aa hind biich ham kuun
lagte hain dil-baraan ke lab rang-e-paan se kyaa khuub

divaane dil kuun mere shahr sein hargiz nahin banti
agar jangal kaa jaanaa ho to us ki baat sab ban jaa

hazaar kos nigaahon se dil ki manzil tak
koi qarib se dekhe to ham ko pahchaane
