kis dil se karun vidaaa tujh ko — Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

aaghosh mein mahkoge dikhaai nahin doge
tum nikhat-e-gulzaar ho ham parda-e-shab hain

gham-e-jaanaan gham-e-dauraan ki taraf yuun aayaa
jaanib shahar chale dukhtar-e-dahqaan jaise

zindagi shama ki maanind jalaataa huun 'nadim'
bujh to jaaungaa magar subah to kar jaaungaa

kis tavaqqoa pe kisi ko dekhein
koi tum se bhi hasin kyaa hogaa

ik safina hai tiri yaad agar
ik samundar hai miri tanhaai

aakhir duaa karein bhi to kis muddaaa ke saath
kaise zamin ki baat kahein aasmaan se ham

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

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

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

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