mere us ke darmiyaan haail kai kohsaar hain — Ameer Qazalbash

sukut-e-shab mein dar-e-dil pe ek dastak thi
bikhar gai tiri yaadon ki kahkashaan mujh se

honaa paDaa hai khugar-e-gham bhi khushi ki khair
vo mujh pe mehrbaan hain magar be-rukhi ke saath

apne hamraah khud chalaa karnaa
kaun aaegaa mat rukaa karnaa

muztarib hain maujein kyuun uTh rahe hain tufaan kyuun
kyaa kisi safine ko aarzu-e-saahil hai

giraa diyaa hai to saahil pe intizaar na kar
agar vo Duub gayaa hai to duur niklegaa

main ne kyuun tark-e-taalluq ki jasaarat ki hai
tum agar ghaur karoge to pashimaan hoge

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

kiyaa khaak aatish-e-ishq ne dil-e-be-navaa-e-'siraaj' kuun
na khatar rahaa na hazar rahaa magar ek be-khatari rahi

kyaa puchhte ho tum ki tiraa dil kidhar gayaa
dil kaa makaan kahaan yahi dil-daar ki taraf

tujh zulf mein dil ne gum kiyaa raah
is prem gali kuun intihaa naiin

jise darvaaza kahte the vahi divaar nikli
jise ham dil samajhte the vo duniyaa ho rahaa hai
