mire dil mein december jam gayaa hai — Anam Shahzadi

jaise dimak-zada koi lakDi
yuun tiraa hijr khaae jaataa hai

kyaa musibat hai zindagi yaani
mujh ko jiinaa paDegaa marne tak

main samajhti huun jise yaum-e-vilaadat apnaa
dar-haqiqat vo miri maut kaa pahlaa din thaa

kuDe-daanon mein laash ki surat
main ne dekhe hain pyaar ke tohfe

jo alag ho gayaa thaa jhurmuT se
us parinde ki khair ho maulaa

teri yaadon ki baandh kar gaThDi
main bahut duur pheink aai huun

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

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai
