are ye dil aur itnaa khaali — Mohammad Alvi

sadiyon se kinaare pe khaDaa suukh rahaa hai
is shahr ko dariyaa mein giraa denaa chaahiye

sardi mein din sard milaa
har mausam bedard milaa

andheraa hai kaise tiraa khat paDhun
lifaafe mein kuchh raushni bhej de

maanaa ki tu zahin bhi hai khub-ru bhi hai
tujh saa na main huaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa huaa

nazron se naaptaa hai samundar ki vusatein
saahil pe ik shakhs akelaa khaDaa huaa

aaj phir mujh se kahaa dariyaa ne
kyaa iraada hai bahaa le jaaun

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

ye vasl ki rut hai ki judaai kaa hai mausam
ye gulshan-e-dil hai ki bayaabaan kahin kaa

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
