kyaa kyaa na mujh se sang-dili dilbaron ne ki — Imdad Ali Bahr

qaazi ko jo rind kuchh chaTaa dein
masjid ki baghal mein mai-kada ho

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

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

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

dil par pahan liyaa hai vo gajre ke jaisaa shakhs
lekin gale kaa haar nahin kar rahaa huun main

vo gulaabi baadalon mein ek niili jhiil si
hosh qaaem kaise rahte thaa hi kuchh aisaa libaas
