aangan kaa aahaT se rishta aur aahaT kaa banjar-pan — Moid Rasheedi

bichhaDte vaqt kahnaa thaa bahut kuchh
main kyaa kahtaa judaa hone se pahle

vo chaahte hain ki har baat maan li jaae
aur ek main huun ki har baat kaaT detaa huun

ab eatibaar nahin meri jaan kisi kaa nahin
charaagh sab ke liye hai dhuaan kisi kaa nahin

havas ki dhuup mein phailaa hai shor-e-khalq-e-khudaa
sunaa kisi ne nahin bastiyon mein girya-e-khaak

mujh ko paane ki tamanna mein vo gharqaab huaa
main ne saahil ki tamanna mein use khoyaa hai

itnaa aasaan nahin lafzon ko ghazal kar lenaa
shor ko sher banaane mein jigar lagtaa hai

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

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

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