judaai ki ruton mein suratein dhundlaane lagti hain — Hasan Abbas Raza

dhaDakti qurbaton ke khvaab se jaage to jaanaa
zaraa se vasl ne kitnaa akelaa kar diyaa hai

kyaa shakhs thaa uDaataa rahaa umr bhar mujhe
lekin havaa se haath milaane nahin diyaa

savaal ye nahin mujh se hai kyuun gurezaan vo
savaal ye hai ki kyuun jism o jaan se baahar hai

bachchon ke saath aaj use dekhaa to dukh huaa
un mein se koi ek bhi maan par nahin gayaa

mohabbatein to faqat intihaaein maangti hain
mohabbaton mein bhalaa e'tidaal kyaa karnaa

sivaa tere har ik shai ko haTaa denaa hai manzar se
aur is ke baa'd khud ko be-sar-o-saamaan karnaa hai

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

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

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
