dil ki baaton ko dil samajhtaa hai — Ibn

dil mein sajde kiyaa karo 'mufti'
is mein parvardigaar rahtaa hai

yuun to patthar bahut se dekhe hain
koi tum saa nazar nahin aayaa

ab to kar Daaliye vafaa us ko
vo jo vaada udhaar rahtaa hai

kaisaa jaadu hai samajh aataa nahin
niind meri khvaab saare aap ke

ik zaraa si baat pe ye munh banaanaa ruThnaa
is tarah to koi apnon se khafaa hotaa nahin

tere khvaabon ki lat lagi jab se
raat kaa intizaar rahtaa hai

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

chashm-e-dilbar ne dil-e-zaar ki dildaari ki
aah bimaar ne bimaar ki gham-khvaari ki

gunjaaish-e-do-shaah nahin ek mulk mein
vahdaaniyat ke haq ki yahi bas dalil hai

ro diye fariyaad par meri butaan-e-sang-dil
mere naalon se pighal kar mom patthar ho gae

abhi to dil mein halki si khalish mahsus hoti hai
bahut mumkin hai kal is kaa mohabbat naam ho jaae
