khvaahishein dil mein machal kar yunhi so jaati hain — Ishrat Afreen

vo zakhm chun ke mire khaar mujh mein chhoD gayaa
ki us ko shauq thaa be-intihaa gulaabon kaa

kachchi umron mein bhi akeli rahi
main sadaa apni hi saheli rahi

yaa mujhe teri hatheli bujhe
yaa koi shokh saheli bujhe

bhuuk se yaa vabaa se marnaa hai
faisla aadmi ko karnaa hai

laDkiyaan maaon jaise muqaddar kyuun rakhti hain
tan sahraa aur aankh samundar kyuun rakhti hain

avval ahl-e-qabila ne parcham banaayaa use aur phir
pesh-e-dushman bhi taavaan mein sirf meri ridaa le gae

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

aaj yaaron ko mubaarak ho ki subh-e-eid hai
raag hai mai hai chaman hai dilrubaa hai diid hai

suni na ek bhi zaalim ne aarzu dil ki
ye kis ke saamne ham arz-e-haal kar baiThe

ik lafz-e-mohabbat kaa adnaa ye fasaanaa hai
simTe to dil-e-aashiq phaile to zamaana hai
