puchhte hain ki kyaa huaa dil ko — Muneer Niyazi

ik tez raad jaisi sadaa har makaan mein
logon ko un ke ghar mein Daraa denaa chaahiye

sukhan mein sahl nahin jaan nikaal kar rakhnaa
ye zindagi hai hamaari sambhaal kar rakhnaa

shaayad ki khudaa mein aur mujh mein
ik jast kaa aur faasla hai

tum ham-safar hue to hui zindagi aziiz
mujh mein to zindagi kaa koi hausla na thaa

jis ko milnaa nahin phir us se mohabbat kaisi
sochtaa jaaun magar dil mein basaae jaaun

laai hai ab uDaa ke gae mausamon ki baas
barkhaa ki rut kaa qahr hai aur ham hain dosto

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

toD kar vaada jaa nahin saktaa
vo miraa dil dukhaa nahin saktaa

tum kyon udaas ho gae maidaan-e-hashr mein
kah do to dil ki dil mein miri daastaan rahe

shaayad tumhaari yaad mire paas aa gai
yaa hai mire hi dil ki sadaa sochnaa paDaa

paanv us ke bhi nahin uThte mire ghar ki taraf
aur ab ke raasta badlaa huaa meraa bhi hai
