hai qayaamat tire shabaab kaa rang — Akhtar Shirani

kis ko fursat thi zamaane ke sitam sahne ki
gar na us shokh ki aankhon kaa ishaaraa hotaa

ab to miliye bas laDaai ho chuki
ab to chaliye pyaar ki baatein karein

zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti yaa rab
aish ki tarah agar gham bhi gavaaraa hotaa

yaad aao mujhe lillaah na tum yaad karo
meri aur apni javaani ko na barbaad karo

muddatein ho gaiin bichhDe hue tum se lekin
aaj tak dil se mire yaad tumhaari na gai

jo bhi buraa bhalaa hai allaah jaantaa hai
bande ke dil mein kyaa hai allaah jaantaa hai

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

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

dil par pahan liyaa hai vo gajre ke jaisaa shakhs
lekin gale kaa haar nahin kar rahaa huun main

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas
