vusat-e-dil are maaaz allaah — Makhfi Lakhnavi

ishq ki allaah re fitna-kaariyaan
paak-daaman chaak-daaman ho gae

miraa aanaa jahaan mein munhasir thaa tiin baaton par
jafaa sahnaa vafaa karnaa aur us ke baad mar jaanaa

parda hai ik baqaa kaa raaz-e-fanaa na puchho
mar kar bhi saath ham se chhuTaa na zindagi kaa

yuun manzar-e-hasti pe tiri chhaa gaiin aankhein
ik kaif saa har chiiz pe barsaa gaiin aankhein

yuun be-hijaab hain ki hain jaise hijaab mein
us bazm mein kisi ko majaal-e-nazar kahaan

ishq ki fitrat ne yuun badlaa mazaaq-e-zindagi
jitne gham baDhne lage utni khushi hone lagi

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

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

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

ab raah-e-vafaa ke patthar ko ham phuul nahin samjheinge kabhi
pahle hi qadam par Thes lagi dil TuuT gayaa achchhaa hi huaa
