ab kahaan jaaeinge ai dilli tujhe ham chhoD kar — Sifar Sharma

shauq mein pahni thi bas zanjir kyaa maa'lum thaa
beDiyon ki shakl le legi ye naagin ek din

shamshir ba-kaf huun na koi jism mein jumbish
main kis ke muqaabil huun ki maaraa nahin jaataa

ye saare zakhmi gunge hain
ye saari duniyaa andhi hai

havaa hai aasmaan hai aag hai paani hai miTTi hai
nuqush-e-yaar gar hote to main duniyaa banaa letaa

kaanon mein gunjti hai vo aavaaz dam-ba-dam
ik haath rah gayaa hai kahin haath chhoD kar

kahte hain aise vaqt mein vaajib hai jhuuT bhi
tu jhuuT koi bol ki dil phir se ji uThe

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

ek hangaama shab-o-roz bapaa rahtaa hai
khaana-e-dil mein nihaan koi khudaa rahtaa hai
