shukriya reshmi dilaase kaa — Muzaffar Hanfi

aangan mein ye raat ki raani saanpon kaa ghar kaaT ise
kamra albatta suunaa hai kone mein guldaan lagaa

roti hui ek bhiiD mire gird khaDi thi
shaayad ye tamaasha mire hansne ke liye thaa

bachpan mein aakaash ko chhutaa saa lagtaa thaa
is pipal ki shaakhein ab kitni nichi hain

bataaein kyaa ki bechaini baDhaate hain vahi aa kar
bahut bechain ham jin ke liye maalum hote hain

ai muzaffar kis liye bhopal yaad aane lagaa
kyaa samajhte the ki dilli mein na hogaa aasmaan

bheDiye aur ishtiraak-shudaa
biich mein ik hiran halaak-shudaa

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

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

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

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