un ko bhi utaaraa hai baDe shauq se ham ne — Zakariya Shaz

kuchh bhi dekhaa nahin thaa main ne jab
har nazaara thaa meri aankhon mein

ai gardish-e-ayyaam hamein ranj bahut hai
kuchh khvaab the aaise ki bikharne ke nahin the

taalluq hi nahin hai jin se meraa
main un khadshaat mein rakkhaa huaa huun

dukh na sahne ki sazaaon mein ghiraa rahtaa hai
shahr kaa shahr duaaon mein ghiraa rahtaa hai

ye alag baat ki chalte rahe sab se aage
varna dekhaa hi nahin teri talab se aage

jab bhi ghar ke andar dekhne lagtaa huun
khiDki khol ke baahar dekhne lagtaa huun

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

mohabbat bad-gumaan ho jaae to zinda nahin rahti
asar dil par tumhaari be-rukhi se kuchh nahin hotaa

chali samt-e-ghaib siin kyaa havaa ki chaman zuhur kaa jal gayaa
magar ek shaakh-e-nihaal-e-gham jise dil kaho so hari rahi

khudaa kare ki vahi baat us ke dil mein ho
jo baat kahne ki himmat juTaa rahaa huun main

be-sabab 'raaghib' taDap uThtaa hai dil
dil ko samjhaanaa paDegaa Thiik se
