dil mein miri vahshat ne par jitne nikaale the — Mehr Zarreen

fanaa ke hosh fanaa hain hamaari vahshat se
vo honge aur ki jin par fanaa kaa zor chale

basti mein bhi kuchh aise andhere hain jahaan par
jhulse hue jismon kaa shabistaan hain saDkein

maqaam-e-aadmi kuchh kam nahin hai
farishton se to kam aadam nahin hai

raushan hai darakhshaan hai har ashk gharibon kaa
bas in ki badaulat hi har ghar mein divaali hai

aap jo chashm-tar ho gae
saare gham mo'atabar ho gae

ye arsh se aanaa to aaghaaz-e-mohabbat thaa
ab farsh pe aae hain anjaam se kheleinge

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

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

jo dil ne kahi lab pe kahaan aai hai dekho
ab mahfil yaaraan mein bhi tanhaai hai dekho

us ko nae safar mein nae ham-safar ke saath
dil khush huaa hai kyon ye ziyaa dekhte hue
