dil jin ko DhunDhtaa hai na-jaane kahaan gae — Ambareen Haseeb Ambar

jo tum ho to ye kaise maan luun main
ki jo kuchh hai yahaan bas ik gumaan hai

duniyaa to ham se haath milaane ko aai thi
ham ne hi eatibaar dobaara nahin kiyaa

is aarzi duniyaa mein har baat adhuri hai
har jiit hai laa-haasil har maat adhuri hai

ham to sunte the ki mil jaate hain bichhDe hue log
tu jo bichhDaa hai to kyaa vaqt ne gardish nahin ki

faisla bichhaDne kaa kar liyaa hai jab tum ne
phir miri tamannaa kyaa phir miri ijaazat kyuun

taalluq jo bhi rakkho soch lenaa
ki ham rishta nibhaanaa jaante hain

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

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

nizaam-e-mai-kada saaqi badalne ki zarurat hai
hazaaron hain safein jin mein na mai aai na jaam aayaa
