tu jism hai to mujh se lipaT kar kalaam kar — Anwar Sadeed

khaak huun lekin saraapaa nuur hai meraa vajud
is zamin par chaand suraj kaa numaainda huun main

khuli zabaan to zarf un kaa ho gayaa zaahir
hazaar bhed chhupaa rakkhe the khamoshi mein

jaagti aankh se jo khvaab thaa dekhaa 'anvar'
us ki taabir mujhe dil ke jalaane se mili

pankh hilaa kar shaam gai hai is aangan se
ab utregi raat anokhi yaadon vaali

chalaa main jaanib-e-manzil to ye huaa maalum
yaqin gumaan mein gum hai gumaan hai poshida

shikva kiyaa zamaane kaa to us ne ye kahaa
jis haal mein ho zinda raho aur khush raho

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin
