kaun aaegaa bhuul kar rasta — Sada Ambalvi

zikr meraa aaegaa mahfil mein jab jab dosto
ro paDeinge yaad kar ke yaar sab yaari miri

vaqt har zakhm kaa marham to nahin ban saktaa
dard kuchh hote hain taa-umr rulaane vaale

bujh gai shama ki lau tere dupaTTe se to kyaa
apni muskaan se mahfil ko munavvar kar de

apni urdu to mohabbat ki zabaan thi pyaare
uff siyaasat ne use joD diyaa mazhab se

kyuun sadaa pahne vo teraa hi pasandida libaas
kuchh to mausam ke mutaabiq bhi sanvarnaa hai use

kitnaa sochaa thaa dil lagaaeinge
sochte sochte hayaat hui

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

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

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
