vaae aashiq-e-naadaan kaaenaat ye teri — Kaif Bhopali

chaahtaa huun phunk duun is shahr ko
shahr mein in kaa bhi ghar hai kyaa karun

kaise maanein ki unhein bhuul gayaa tu ai 'kaif'
un ke khat aaj hamein tere sirhaane se mile

mai-kasho aage baDho tishna-labo aage baDho
apnaa haq maangaa nahin jaataa hai chhinaa jaae hai

ham na piyeinge bhiik ki saaqi
le ye tiraa paimaana paDaa hai

kyaa koi mohabbat mein yuun bhi benaam-o-nishaan ho jaataa hai
main huun ki abhi tak zinda huun duniyaa hai ki bhuli jaati hai

mat dekh ki phirtaa huun tire hijr mein zinda
ye puchh ki jiine mein maza hai ki nahin hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
