apne andaaz-e-takallum ko badal de varna — Nazim Barelvi

gae mausam kaa ik piilaa saa pattaa shaakh par rah kar
na jaane kyaa bataanaa chaahtaa hai in bahaaron ko

shaaeri to vaardaat-e-qalb ki rudaad hai
qaafiya-paimaai ko main shaaeri kaise kahun

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

kyaa kyaa rog lage hain dil ko kyaa kyaa un ke bhed
ham sab ko samjhaane vaale kaun hamein samjhaae

tu bhi jaise badal saa jaataa hai
aks-e-divaar ke badalte hi

kar na jurat tu ai tabib ki ye
dil kaa dhaDkaa hai ikhtilaaj nahin

kisi ko saal-e-nau ki kyaa mubaarakbaad di jaae
calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badaltaa hai
