dil ki haalat se khabar deti hai — Imdad Imam Asar

kaisaa aanaa kaisaa jaanaa mere ghar kyaa aaoge
ghairon ke ghar jaane se tum fursat kis din paate ho

kartaa hai ai 'asar' dil-e-khun-gashta kaa gila
aashiq vo kyaa ki khasta-e-tegh-e-jafaa na ho

saath duniyaa kaa nahin taalib-e-duniyaa dete
apne kutton ko ye murdaar liye phirti hai

aaina dekh ke farmaate hain
kis ghazab ki hai javaani meri

kuchh samajh kar us mah-e-khubi se ki thi dosti
ye na samjhe the ki dushman aasmaan ho jaaegaa

gulshan mein kaun bulbul-e-naalaan ko de panaah
gulchin o baaghbaan bhi hain sayyaad ki taraf

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

shah dil ko mil gai hai phir un ki nigaah se
phir shauq DhunDhtaa hai dil-o-jaan nae nae

dil bayaaz-e-umr ki auraaq-gardaani mein hai
kyaa khabar hai kaun saa safha khulaa rah jaaegaa

dil us chashm ko vo dil-e-zaar ko
ki dekhe hai bimaar bimaar ko

naadaan meraa dil bahak jaae na kahin
shaanon pe gesuon ko bikheraa na kijiye
