pechidgi-e-taba ki ye saaf hai dalil — Meer Mohammad Sultan Aaqil

gaaliyaan diin us ne be-ginti hamein
ham ne bose bhi to gin gin ke liye

ilaahi tu bhi pyaaraa but bhi pyaaraa phir sunun kis ki
idhar kuchh shaikh kahtaa hai aur us jaanib barahman bhi

shab-e-visaal mein he he vo un kaa sharmaa kar
dabi zabaan se kahnaa ki aarzu kyaa hai

phiki hai teri nasihat saath mere ghul machaa
shor se naaseh namak aa jaaegaa taqrir mein

asal mein jalva ye kis kaa hai tu hi kah vaaiz
teraa rab aur sahi meraa sanam aur sahi

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

tu bhi jaise badal saa jaataa hai
aks-e-divaar ke badalte hi

kar na jurat tu ai tabib ki ye
dil kaa dhaDkaa hai ikhtilaaj nahin

kisi ko saal-e-nau ki kyaa mubaarakbaad di jaae
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badaltaa hai

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte
