dil khush na huaa zulf-e-pareshaan se nikal kar — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

ham bhi ai jaan-e-man itne to nahin naakaara
kabhi kuchh kaam tu ham ko bhi to farmaayaa kar

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

apni to is chaman mein nit umr yunhi guzri
yaan aashiyaan banaayaa vaan aashiyaan banaayaa

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

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

'azfari' ghuncha-e-dil band aur aai hai bahaar
sair-e-gul ko ki ye shaayad ba-takalluf khil le

jab mile do dil mukhil phir kaun hai
baiTh jaao khud hayaa uTh jaaegi

jis nuur ke bakke ko mah-o-khur ne na dekhaa
kam-bakht ye dil loTe hai us parda-nashin par

haan kuchh bhi to derina mohabbat kaa bharam rakh
dil se na aa duniyaa ko dikhaane ke liye aa
