ik be-qaraar dil se mulaaqaat kijiye — Naushad Ali

karnaa hai shaairi agar 'naushaad'
'mir' kaa kulliyaat yaad karo

aabaadiyon mein dasht kaa manzar bhi aaegaa
guzroge shahr se to miraa ghar bhi aaegaa

saamne us ke ek bhi na chali
dil mein baatein hazaar le ke chale

zindagi mukhtasar mili thi hamein
hasratein be-shumaar le ke chale

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

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

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

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

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