rone vaale hue chup hijr ki duniyaa badli — Firaq Gorakhpuri

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

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin
zindagi tu ne to dhoke pe diyaa hai dhoka

bahut dinon mein mohabbat ko ye huaa maalum
jo tere hijr mein guzri vo raat raat hui

kisi kaa yuun to huaa kaun umr bhar phir bhi
ye husn o ishq to dhokaa hai sab magar phir bhi

jo uljhi thi kabhi aadam ke haathon
vo gutthi aaj tak suljhaa rahaa huun

chhuT ke ghar aa gae asiir tire
lekin ab in ko kaun pahchaane

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

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

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

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

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