apni aankhon kaa samundar bah ke to khaamosh hai — Abdul Hameed Saqi

khudi ki raushni mein main ne dekhaa hai aqidat ko
khudaai varna aazar ki miri Thokar pe rakkhi thi

bajaae zahraab kis ne saaqi bhare hain amrit se jaam-o-saaghar
ki log aab-e-hayaat pi kar qazaa se pahle hi mar rahe hain

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

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

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

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
