ulajh ke rah gae chehre miri nigaahon mein — Fatima Hasan

raat dariche tak aa kar ruk jaati hai
band aankhon mein us kaa chehra rahtaa hai

sukun-e-dil ke liye ishq to bahaana thaa
vagarna thak ke kahin to Thahar hi jaanaa thaa

dikhaai detaa hai jo kuchh kahin vo khvaab na ho
jo sun rahi huun vo dhokaa na ho samaaat kaa

bhuul gai huun kis se meraa naata thaa
aur ye naata kaise TuuTaa bhuul gai

main ne pahunchaayaa use jiit ke har khaane mein
meri baazi thi miri maat samajhtaa hi nahin

main ne maan kaa libaas jab pahnaa
mujh ko titli ne apne rang diye

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

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

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
