ab us maqaam pe hai mausamon kaa sard mizaaj — Farhan Salim

tujhe khabar hi nahin hai ye qissa-e-kotaah
jahaan pe but na gire kab vahaan haram utraa

mataa-e-dard maaal-e-hayaat hai shaayad
dil-e-shikasta miri kaaenaat hai shaayad

hausla sab ne baDhaayaa hai mire munsif kaa
tum bhi inaam koi meri sazaa par likh do

mire sajde kabhi rusvaa na honge
tumhaaraa sang-e-dar ho jaaungaa main

ab mujh se sambhalti nahin ye dard ki saughaat
le tujh ko mubaarak ho sambhaal apni ye duniyaa

hai meri aankhon mein aks-e-navishta-e-divaar
samajh sako to miraa nutq-e-be-e-zabaan le lo

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

'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
