is qadar thaa khaTmalon kaa chaarpaai mein hujum — Akbar Allahabadi

khincho na kamaanon ko na talvaar nikaalo
jab top muqaabil ho to akhbaar nikaalo

log kahte hain badaltaa hai zamaana sab ko
mard vo hain jo zamaane ko badal dete hain

ham aisi kul kitaabein qaabil-e-zabti samajhte hain
ki jin ko paDh ke laDke baap ko khabti samajhte hain

shaikh apni rag ko kyaa karein reshe ko kyaa karein
mazhab ke jhagDe chhoDein to peshe ko kyaa karein

jis taraf uTh gai hain aahein hain
chashm-e-bad-dur kyaa nigaahein hain

hayaa se sar jhukaa lenaa adaa se muskuraa denaa
hasinon ko bhi kitnaa sahl hai bijli giraa denaa

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 karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

kunj-e-hairat se chale dasht-e-ziyaan tak laae
kaun laa saktaa hai ham dil ko jahaan tak laae

tum ne kyuun dil mein jagah di hai buton ko 'saabir'
tum ne kyuun kaaba ko but-khaana banaa rakkhaa hai

pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis balaa ki thi
ham aaj tak vo choT hain dil par liye hue
