ye dalil-e-khush-dili hai mire vaaste nahin hai — Mohammad Deen Taseer

daavar-e-hashr miraa naama-e-aamaal na dekh
is mein kuchh parda-nashinon ke bhi naam aate hain

jis tarah ham ne raatein kaaTi hain
us tarah ham ne din guzaare hain

meri vafaaein yaad karoge
rooge fariyaad karoge

hamein bhi dekh ki ham aarzu ke sahraa mein
khile hue hain kisi zakhm-e-aarzu ki tarah

ye Dar hai qaafile vaalo kahin na gum kar de
miraa hi apnaa uThaayaa huaa ghubaar mujhe

rabt hai husn o ishq mein baaham
ek dariyaa ke do kinaare hain

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

ik Tiis jigar mein uThti hai ik dard saa dil mein hotaa hai
ham raat ko royaa karte hain jab saaraa aalam sotaa hai

abas hai raaz ko paane ki justuju kyaa hai
ye chaak-e-dil hai use haajat-e-rafu kyaa hai

kaun samjhe ham pe kyaa guzri hai 'naqsh'
dil laraz uThtaa hai zikr-e-shaam se
