dil hai miraa rangini-e-aaghaaz pe maail — Figar Unnavi

maayus dilon ko ab chheDo bhi to kyaa haasil
TuuTe hue paimaane fariyaad nahin karte

fazaa kaa tang honaa fitrat-e-aazaad se puchho
par-e-parvaaz hi kyaa jo qafas ko aashiyaan samjhe

ik teraa aasraa hai faqat ai khayaal-e-dost
sab bujh gae charaagh shab-e-intizaar mein

un pe qurbaan har khushi kar di
zindagi nazr-e-zindagi kar di

saaqi ne nigaahon se pilaa di hai ghazab ki
rindaan-e-azal dekhiye kab hosh mein aaein

partav-e-husn se zarre bhi bane aaine
kitne jalve kiye arzaan tiri raanaai ne

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

'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

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