dafatan aandhiyon ne rukh badlaa — Akhtar Ziai

aas Duubi to dil huaa raushan
bujh gayaa dil to dil ke daagh jale

koi ilaaj-e-gham-e-zindagi bataa vaaiz
sune hue jo fasaane hain phir sunaa na mujhe

bhulaa chuke hain zamin o zamaan ke sab qisse
sukhan-taraaz hain lekin khalaa mein rahte hain

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

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

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
