kisi ko saal-e-nau ki kyaa mubaarakbaad di jaae — Aitbar Sajid

phuul the rang the lamhon ki sabaahat ham the
aise zinda the ki jiine ki alaamat ham the

ab to khud apni zarurat bhi nahin hai ham ko
vo bhi din the ki kabhi teri zarurat ham the

ek hi shahr mein rahnaa hai magar milnaa nahin
dekhte hain ye aziyyat bhi gavaara kar ke

guftugu der se jaari hai natije ke baghair
ik nai baat nikal aati hai har baat ke saath

main takiye par sitaare bo rahaa huun
janam-din hai akelaa ro rahaa huun

abhi rail ke safar mein hain bahut nihaal donon
kahin rog ban na jaae yahi saath do ghaDi kaa

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

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa

ik nazar ne kiyaa hai kaam tamaam
aarzu bhi to thi yahi dil ki

sitam hai sitam kaaba-e-dil kaa Dhaanaa
ye kyaa kar rahe ho ye kyaa ho rahaa hai

puchh kar kaun dil dukhaataa hai
haadse kab bataa ke hote hain
