dil ke rishte ajiib rishte hain — Mustafa Zaidi

is tarah hosh ganvaanaa bhi koi baat nahin
aur yuun hosh se rahne mein bhi naadaani hai

gham-e-dauraan ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanaan ke chalan
vahi sochi hui chaalein vahi be-saakhta-pan

koi ham-nafas nahin hai koi raaz-daan nahin hai
faqat ek dil thaa apnaa so vo mehrbaan nahin hai

utraa thaa jis pe baab-e-hayaa kaa varaq varaq
bistar ke ek ek shikan ki sharik thi

ham ne to luT ke mohabbat ki rivaayat rakh li
un se to pochhiye vo kis liye pachhtaate rahe

aandhi chali to naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa nahin milaa
dil jis se mil gayaa vo dobaaraa nahin milaa

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
