koi dil-lagi dil lagaanaa nahin hai — Dattatriya Kaifi

rahne de zikr-e-kham-e-zulf-e-musalsal ko nadim
us ke to dhyaan se bhi hotaa hai dil ko uljhaao

jo chashm-e-dil-rubaa ke vasf mein ashaar likhtaa huun
to har har lafz par ahl-e-nazar ik saad karte hain

tum se ab kyaa kahein vo chiiz hai daagh-e-gham-e-ishq
ki chhupaae na chhupe aur dikhaae na bane

dam ghanimat hai saaliko meraa
jaras-e-daur ki sadaa huun main

ye chalan hain to tumhein hashr se deinge tashbih
log saffaak kaheinge baDi rusvaai hai

vafaa par daghaa sulh mein dushmani hai
bhalaai kaa hargiz zamaana nahin 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

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa

duur ham se hain vo to kyaa Dar hai
paas hai apne aarsi dil ki

jab bhi aql banaati hai pahlaa misraa
dil ko misra-e-saani honaa paDtaa hai

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye
