hans hans ke javaan dil ke ham kyuun na chunein TukDe — Meena Kumari Naz

ayaadat ko aae shifaa ho gai
miri ruuh tan se judaa ho gai

tere qadmon ki aahaT ko ye dil hai DhunDtaa har dam
har ik aavaaz par ik thartharaahaT hoti jaati hai

puchhte ho to suno kaise basar hoti hai
raat khairaat ki sadqe ki sahar hoti hai

shama huun phuul huun yaa ret pe qadmon kaa nishaan
aap ko haq hai mujhe jo bhi ji chaahe kah lein

aaghaaz to hotaa hai anjaam nahin hotaa
jab meri kahaani mein vo naam nahin hotaa

hansi thami hai in aankhon mein yuun nami ki tarah
chamak uThe hain andhere bhi raushni ki tarah

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

jab bhi aql banaati hai pahlaa misraa
dil ko misra-e-saani honaa paDtaa hai

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

dil par pahan liyaa hai vo gajre ke jaisaa shakhs
lekin gale kaa haar nahin kar rahaa huun main
