yuun bhi dilli mein log rahte hain — Muzaffar Hanfi

aangan mein ye raat ki raani saanpon kaa ghar kaaT ise
kamra albatta suunaa hai kone mein guldaan lagaa

roti hui ek bhiiD mire gird khaDi thi
shaayad ye tamaasha mire hansne ke liye thaa

shukriya reshmi dilaase kaa
tiir to aap ne bhi maaraa thaa

bachpan mein aakaash ko chhutaa saa lagtaa thaa
is pipal ki shaakhein ab kitni nichi hain

bataaein kyaa ki bechaini baDhaate hain vahi aa kar
bahut bechain ham jin ke liye maalum hote hain

bheDiye aur ishtiraak-shudaa
biich mein ik hiran halaak-shudaa

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

un ki nigaah-e-naaz ki gardish ke saath saath
mahsus ye huaa ki zamaana badal gayaa

dil ki basti ajiib basti hai
ye ujaDne ke baa'd basti hai

dil to rotaa rahe aur aankh se aansu na bahe
ishq ki aisi rivaayaat ne dil toD diyaa

ai hasrat-e-dil go vasl huaa par shauq hamaaraa kam na huaa
jis se ki khalish kuchh aur baDhe vo zakhm huaa marham na huaa
