khud tiis kaa hai aur dulhan saaTh baras ki — Popular Meeruthi

dastakhat to tumhein bhi aate hain
abbaa tum bhi vazir ban jaate

be-vaqufi ke anokhe kaarnaame dekh kar
achchhe-khaase leaderon ko bhi gadhaa kahnaa paDaa

apni shohrat ki alag raah nikaali ham ne
kisi divaan se ghazal koi churaa li ham ne

teraa aadhaa kaam khud insaan hi karne lage
kaam teraa ab to ai shaitaan aadhaa rah gayaa

is bharose pe election mein khaDaa huun main bhi
ik nujumi ne kahaa hai ki ye saal achchhaa hai

meraa sasuraal mein koi bhi taraf-daar nahin
un ke honTon pe bhi taale hain khudaa khair kare

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

mire rashk-e-be-nihaayat ko na puchh mere dil se
tujhe tujh se bhi chhupaataa agar ikhtiyaar hotaa

ranjishein aisi hazaar aapas mein hoti hain dilaa
vo agar tujh se khafaa hai tu hi jaa mil kyaa huaa
