ghar mein saamaan to ho dilchaspi kaa — Mohammad Alvi

main us ke badan ki muqaddas kitaab
nihaayat aqidat se paDhtaa rahaa

kamre mein maze ki raushni ho
achchhi si koi kitaab dekhun

nayaa saal divaar par Taang de
puraane baras kaa calendar giraa

aur baazaar se kyaa le jaaun
pahli baarish kaa mazaa le jaaun

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

us se bichhaDte vaqt main royaa thaa khub-saa
ye baat yaad aai to pahron hansaa kiyaa

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

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa

duur ham se hain vo to kyaa Dar hai
paas hai apne aarsi dil ki

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

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage
