vaae-aashiq-e-naadaan kaaenaat ye teri — Kaif Bhopali

chaahtaa huun phunk duun is shahr ko
shahr mein in kaa bhi ghar hai kyaa karun

kaise maanein ki unhein bhuul gayaa tu ai 'kaif'
un ke khat aaj hamein tere sirhaane se mile

mai-kasho aage baDho tishna-labo aage baDho
apnaa haq maangaa nahin jaataa hai chhinaa jaae hai

ham na piyeinge bhiik ki saaqi
le ye tiraa paimaana paDaa hai

kyaa koi mohabbat mein yuun bhi benaam-o-nishaan ho jaataa hai
main huun ki abhi tak zinda huun duniyaa hai ki bhuli jaati hai

mat dekh ki phirtaa huun tire hijr mein zinda
ye puchh ki jiine mein maza hai ki nahin hai

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

aabaad gar vo chaahe dil ko to kar sake hai
manzur hai par is ko meraa kharaab rakhnaa

donon ke dil mein khauf thaa maidaan-e-jang mein
donon kaa khauf faasla thaa darmiyaan kaa

hai mausam-e-bahaar kaa aaghaaz qahr hai
ab bhi agar chaman mein havaa mo'tadil na ho

khayaal-e-zulf agar hai to dil ki khair nahin
vo TuuT jaataa hai shisha ki jis mein baal huaa
