aage ko baDh sake hai na pichhe ko haT sake — Nayan Sukh

jitnaa ki hai ifraat tiri kam-nigahi kaa
utnaa hi idhar dekho to ye dida-e-nam hai

is maajraa ko jaa ke kahun kis ke ru-ba-ru
meri to dauD haigi tire aastaan tilak

vo jo ik tolaa kai maasha thi yaari tum se
ratti bhar bhi na rahaa is mein kuchh aasaar kahin

dekhaa hai kahin gul ne tujhe jis ki khushi se
phulaa hai vo itnaa ki qabaa mein na samaave

logon ke phoDtaa phire shishe
mohtasib ko to maskharaa kahiye

idhar se sete jaao aur udhar se phahTtaa jaae
aise tarah ke kapDe ko phir siije bhi nahin

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

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate

vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa
main jo kal pairahan-e-khaak badal kar aayaa

puchh kar kaun dil dukhaataa hai
haadse kab bataa ke hote hain
