mehndi ne ghazab donon taraf aag lagaa di — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage

botalein khol kar to pi barson
aaj dil khol kar bhi pi jaae

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas

kunj-e-hairat se chale dasht-e-ziyaan tak laae
kaun laa saktaa hai ham dil ko jahaan tak laae
