nazar mein be-rukhi lab par tabassum — 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

taa ki angur hare hon mire zakhm-e-dil ke
dhaani angiyaa mire dildaar ne rangvaai hai

us ke dil se nikle to ham khud ke dil tak aa pahunche
aanaa jaanaa hotaa rahtaa hai apnaa viraanon mein

ahl-e-imaan 'soz' ko kahte hain kaafir ho gayaa
aah yaa rab raaz-e-dil in par bhi zaahir ho gayaa

ki dil ne dil-baraan-e-jahaan ki bahut talaash
kui dil-rubaa milaa hai na dil-khvaah kyaa kare
