aaj hai vo bahaar kaa mausam — Jaleel Manikpuri

pyaari surat vo haae kyaa hogi
jis ko be-dekhe pyaar aataa hai

sote mein vo jo mujh se ham-aaghosh ho gae
jitne gile the khvaab-e-faraamosh ho gae

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

mohabbat ek taraf se mazaa nahin deti
kuchh iztiraab tujhe ho kuchh iztiraab mujhe

kah do ye kohkan se ki marnaa nahin kamaal
mar mar ke hijr-e-yaar mein jiinaa kamaal hai

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

dil mein soe saare dard jagaataa hai
bin mausam ki baarish aisaa nauha hai

sang-paraston ki basti mein shisha-garon ki khair nahin hai
jin ki aankhein nuur se khaali un ke dil hain aahan aahan

gulon se nahin shaakh ke dil se puchho
ki ye bad-numaa khaar kitnaa hasin hai
