ghaur se dekh gulshan-e-duniyaa — Minhaj Ali

bajaa ki raunaq-e-mahfil abhi uruuj pe hai
main kyaa karun miri khalvat bulaa rahi hai mujhe

gulshan-e-dahr se khushbu ki tarah guzraa main
sab ko mahkaayaa magar apni numaaish nahin ki

yahi hai vaqt ki ji bhar ke dekh luun us ko
vo saamne hai magar dekhtaa nahin hai mujhe

didaar kaa visaal mein aayaa na koi lutf
us rukh pe be-rukhi ke the parde paDe hue

darmiyaan garche hijaabaat nahin duuri ke
ab jo haail hai vo parda hai shanaasaai kaa

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

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang

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

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa
