us ke dil ki aag ThanDi paD gai — Siraj Faisal Khan

tire ehsaas mein Duubaa huaa main
kabhi sahraa kabhi dariyaa huaa main

shaayad agli ik koshish taqdir badal de
zahar to jab ji chaahe khaayaa jaa saktaa hai

dasht jaisi ujaaD hain aankhein
in darichon se khvaab kyaa jhaankein

kai din baa'd us ne guftugu ki
kai din baa'd phir achchhaa huaa main

vo ek shakhs jo dikhne mein Thik-Thaak saa thaa
bichhaD rahaa thaa to lagne lagaa hasin bahut

hamein ranjish nahin dariyaa se koi
salaamat gar rahe sahraa hamaaraa

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

kar na jurat tu ai tabib ki ye
dil kaa dhaDkaa hai ikhtilaaj nahin

qarib dekh ke us ko ye baat kis se kahun
khayaal dil mein jo aayaa gunaah jaisaa thaa

ik shakl hamein phir bhaai hai ik surat dil mein samaai hai
ham aaj bahut sarshaar sahi par aglaa moD judaai hai

phir aaj ek ghazal keh ke main mo'attar huun
phir aaj zakhm kiye apne sandali main ne
