tu khudaa se bhi duur hai laDki — Asif Jaanif

main tumhaare baghair aisaa huun
jis tarah diin hai nabi ke baghair

ye kaise log tire aas-paas ghumte hain
inhein to dekh ke meraa dimaagh ghumtaa hai

udaas logon ke maathon ko chumte rahnaa
unhi ki vajh se bar-'aks ho gae tum log

hamein bannaa paDegaa alien varna mire pyaare
tujhe bhi khaaegaa aadam mujhe bhi khaaegaa aadam

bahut hi kam ko mili hain mohabbatein 'jaanif'
ziyaada-tar ko to mahbub ne du'aa di hai

mujhe malaal nahin teri bevafaai kaa
main apne aap se aankhein nahin milaa saktaa

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

botalein khol kar to pi barson
aaj dil khol kar bhi pi jaae

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis balaa ki thi
ham aaj tak vo choT hain dil par liye hue
