raabte TuuTe hain rishte rah gae hain naam ke — Razi Abuzar

kisi se mil ke kisi ko buraa saa lagtaa hai
baDaa gunaah hai garche zaraa saa lagtaa hai

shafaq kaa rang sukun hai sahar ke chehre par
ki gesu-e-shab-e-gham be-qaraar hai ab tak

jalaa hai parda-e-shab mein hujum-e-parvaana
barahna sham' magar be-qaraar hai ab tak

jab zabaan rakkhi hai main ne halqa-e-zanjir mein
tab kahin aai hai shiddat she'r ki taasir mein

hijaabaana aa kar vo chalte bane
mujhe 'ishq kaa vasvasa rah gayaa

sar-e-khaamushi ye sajaavaTein usi rang-o-bu ki misaal hain
jo mahak ho qabr ke phuul mein jo chamak ho sham'-e-mazaar mein

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

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa

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

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye
