miraa khun-e-dil yuun bahaa dasht mein — Meerza Jawan Bakht Jahandar

kahein so kis se 'jahaandaar' us ki nazron mein
raqib kaam ke Thahre aur ham hain naa-kaare

basaan-e-naqsh-e-qadam tere dar se ahl-e-vafaa
uThaate sar nahin hargiz tabaah ke maare

tire ishq se jab se paale paDe hain
hamein apne jiine ke laale paDe hain

mujh dil mein hai jo but ki parastish ki aarzu
dekhi nahin vo aaj talak barhaman ke biich

aakhir gil apni sarf-e-dar-e-mai-kada hui
pahunche vahaan hi khaak jahaan kaa khamir ho

ki dil ne dil-baraan-e-jahaan ki bahut talaash
kui dil-rubaa milaa hai na dil-khvaah kyaa kare

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

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

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

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