kyaa qayaamat hai hijr ke din bhi — Saifuddin Saif

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

zindagi kis tarah kaTegi 'saif'
raat kaTti nazar nahin aati

ye aalaam-e-hasti ye daur-e-zamaana
to kyaa ab tumhein bhuul jaanaa paDegaa

hamein khabar hai vo mehmaan ek raat kaa hai
hamaare paas bhi saamaan ek raat kaa hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

apni marzi se bhi do-chaar qadam chalne de
zindagi ham tire kahne pe chale hain barson
