kyuun na kaabe ko kahun allaah kaa aur but kaa ghar — Haqeer

jab se kuchh qaabu hai apnaa kaakul-e-khamdaar par
saanp har dam loTtaa hai sina-e-aghyaar par

kyaa jaanein un ki chaal mein eajaaz hai ki sehr
vo bhi unhin se mil gae jo the hamaare log

khuub mil kar gale se ro lenaa
is se dil ki safaai hoti hai

yak-ba-yak tark na karnaa thaa mohabbat mujh se
khair jis tarah se aataa thaa vo aataa jaataa

jaantaa us ko huun davaa ki tarah
chaahtaa us ko huun shifaa ki tarah

band-e-qabaa pe haath hai sharmaae jaate hain
kamsin hain zikr-e-vasl se ghabraae jaate hain

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

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

bujhne ki dil ki aag nahin zer-e-khaak bhi
hogaa darakht gor pe meri chinaar kaa

phir mujhe le chalaa udhar dekho
dil-e-khaana-kharaab ki baatein

diin kyon ki na vo daagh-e-alam aur ziyaada
qimat mein baDhe dil ke diram aur ziyaada

ye kis mazhab mein aur mashrab mein hai hindu musalmaano
khudaa ko chhoD dil mein ulfat-e-dair-o-haram rakhnaa
