baadal ke ek TukDe mein kyon dab gai tapish — Ashhad Karim Ulfat

zindagi se bahut der tak
zindagi par hi chiq chiq hui

meri fikr nahin hai tujh ko apni fikr to karni hogi
teraa naam bhi mailaa hogaa meri bhi rusvaai mein

du’aa-e-dast-e-fazilat se sar ki raunaq hai
hamaare ghar ke buzurgon se ghar ki raunaq hai

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

hai aks-e-aaina dil mein kisi bilqis-e-saani kaa
tasavvur hai miraa ustaad bahzaad aur maani kaa

taa ki angur hare hon mire zakhm-e-dil ke
dhaani angiyaa mire dildaar ne rangvaai hai

ai sakht-gir aandhi itnaa khayaal rakhnaa
ik dil bhi jal rahaa hai is baam par hamaaraa
