baad tauba ke bhi hai dil mein ye hasrat baaqi — Mirza Hadi Ruswa

Talnaa thaa mere paas se ai kaahili tujhe
kam-bakht tu to aa ke yahin Dher ho gai

hans ke kahtaa hai musavvir se vo ghaarat-gar-e-hosh
jaisi surat hai miri vaisi hi tasvir bhi ho

usi par munhasir thi zindagi kyaa
ghaTaa jaataa hai dam zabt-e-fughaan se

apne surat-gar se puchhun main agar maqdur ho
kyaa banaayaa thaa mujhe tu ne miTaane ke liye

dekhaa hai mujhe apni khushaamad mein jo masruf
is but ko ye dhokaa hai ki islaam yahi hai

ham ko bhi kyaa kyaa maze ki daastaanein yaad thiin
lekin ab tamhid-e-zikr-e-dard-o-maatam ho gaiin

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

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

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

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