chaahi thi dil ne tujh se vafaa kam bahut hi kam — Mahboob Khizan

tumhaare vaaste sab kuchh hai mere banda-navaaz
magar ye shart ki pahle pasand aao mujhe

ye kyaa kahun ki mujh ko kuchh gunaah bhi aziiz hain
ye kyuun kahun ki zindagi savaab ke liye nahin

ulajhte rahne mein kuchh bhi nahin thakan ke sivaa
bahut haqir hain ham tum baDi hai ye duniyaa

ye dil-navaaz udaasi bhari bhari palkein
are in aankhon mein kyaa hai suno dikhaao mujhe

zakhm bigDe to badan kaaT ke pheink
varna kaanTaa bhi mohabbat se nikaal

haae phir fasl-e-bahaar aai 'khizaan'
kabhi marnaa kabhi jiinaa hai muhaal

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

sunaa hai main ne aziyyat maza bhi deti hai
sunaa hai dil ki khalish mein sakun bhi hotaa hai

ek kaanTe ki khaTak se dil miraa aabaad thaa
vo gayaa to dil se mere dard ki raahat gai

ajiib Dhang se taqsim-e-kaar ki us ne
so jis ko dil na diyaa us ko dilrubaai di

ek haalat thi miri aur ek haalat dil ki thi
meri haalat to vahi hai dil ki vo haalat gai
