aur zikr kyaa kiije apne dil ki haalat kaa — Ejaz Siddiqi

aaj bhi buri kyaa hai kal bhi ye buri kyaa thi
is kaa naam duniyaa hai ye badalti rahti hai

duniyaa sabab-e-shorish-e-gham puchh rahi hai
ik mohr-e-khamoshi hai ki honTon pe lagi 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

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

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

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