chaae piinaa to ik bahaana thaa — Iman Qaisrani

dil to pahle hi judaa the yahaan basti vaalo
kyaa qayaamat hai ki ab haath milaane se gae

phir kahin baiTh ke pi jaae ikaTThe chaae
phir koi shaam kaa pal saath guzaaraa jaae

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

ye vasl ki rut hai ki judaai kaa hai mausam
ye gulshan-e-dil hai ki bayaabaan kahin kaa

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang

dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
ab koi shikva ham nahin karte

ashk Dhalte nahin dekhe jaate
dil pighalte nahin dekhe jaate
