uTThaa jo abr dil ki umangein chamak uThin — Ehsan Danish Kandhlvi

kuchh log jo savaar hain kaaghaz ki naav par
tohmat taraashte hain havaa ke dabaav par

tum saada-mizaaji se miTe phirte ho jis par
vo shakhs to duniyaa mein kisi kaa bhi nahin hai

main hairaan huun ki kyuun us se hui thi dosti apni
mujhe kaise gavaara ho gai thi dushmani apni

log yuun dekh ke hans dete hain
tu mujhe bhuul gayaa ho jaise

shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn baraabar kaa sharik
soch kar jurm-e-tamannaa ki sazaa do ham ko

kis kis ki zabaan rokne jaaun tiri khaatir
kis kis ki tabaahi mein tiraa haath nahin hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin
