badlegi kaaenaat miri baat maan lo — Jameel Usman

kis ne kahaa hai tum se ki taa-umr saath do
hai chaar din ki baat miri baat maan lo

hai zindagi baghair tumhaare ik iztiraab
de do ise sabaat miri baat maan lo

so jaaiye huzur ki ab raat ho gai
jo baat hone vaali thi vo baat ho gai

ham raaz-e-dil chhupaate magar apni zindagi
puuri khuli kitaab agar ho to kyaa karein

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

mai bhi hai miinaa bhi hai saaghar bhi hai saaqi nahin
dil mein aataa hai lagaa dein aag mai-khaane ko ham

saabit huaa sukun-e-dil-o-jaan kahin nahin
rishton mein DhunDhtaa hai to DhunDaa kare koi

jo dil ko hai khabar kahin milti nahin khabar
har subh ik azaab hai akhbaar dekhnaa

aaina dekh apnaa saa munh le ke rah gae
saahab ko dil na dene pe kitnaa ghurur thaa
