dil-bastagi qafas se yahaan tak hui mujhe — Ashraf Ali Fughan

kab dard se dil ko taab aayaa
aankhon mein kahaan se khvaab aayaa

meri taraf se khaatir-e-sayyaad jamaa hai
kyaa uD sakegaa taair-e-be-baal-o-par kahin

mujh se jo puchhte ho to har haal shukr hai
yuun bhi guzar gai miri vuun bhi guzar gai

jugnu miyaan ki dum jo chamakti hai raat ko
sab dekh dekh us ko bajaate hain taaliyaan

ai shaikh agar kufr se islaam judaa hai
pas chaahiye tasbih mein zunnaar na hotaa

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

abhi to mansab-e-hasti se main haTaa hi nahin
badal gae hain mire doston ke lahje bhi

shah dil ko mil gai hai phir un ki nigaah se
phir shauq DhunDhtaa hai dil-o-jaan nae nae

dil bayaaz-e-umr ki auraaq-gardaani mein hai
kyaa khabar hai kaun saa safha khulaa rah jaaegaa

dil us chashm ko vo dil-e-zaar ko
ki dekhe hai bimaar bimaar ko
