dil se aakhir charaagh-e-vasl bujhaa — Babar Rehman Shah

kisi ke jaal mein aa kar main apnaa dil ganvaa baiThaa
mujhe thaa ishq qaatil se main apnaa sar kaTaa baiThaa

ai pari-zaad tere jaane par
ho gayaa khud se raabta meraa

thakan se chuur hai saaraa vajud ab meraa
main bojh itne ghamon kaa to Dho nahin saktaa

aatish-e-ishq jab jalaati hai
jal ke main nosh-e-jaam kartaa huun

dil ne ham se ajab hi kaam liyaa
ham ko bechaa magar na daam liyaa

muflisi ne jaa-ba-jaa luuTaa hamein
ab bachaa kuchh bhi nahin luTvaaein kyaa

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

hasin surat hamein hamesha hasin hi maalum kyuun na hoti
hasin andaaz-e-dil-navaazi hasin-tar naaz barhami kaa

main teri jumbish-e-mizhgaan se kaanp jaataa hon
agarche dil ko gham-e-do-jahaan se Dar bhi nahin

dil ki dahliz pe jab shaam kaa saaya utraa
ufuq-e-dard se siine mein ujaalaa utraa

chamak de chaand ko ThanDak havaa ko dil ko umang
udaas qisse ko phir ek shaahzaada de
