log kahte hain dil lagaanaa jise — 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

jab bhi aql banaati hai pahlaa misraa
dil ko misra-e-saani honaa paDtaa hai

aankhein bhi haae nazaa mein apni badal gaiin
sach hai ki bekasi mein koi aashnaa nahin

vahi shaagird phir ho jaate hain ustaad ai 'jauhar'
jo apne jaan-o-dil se khidmat-e-ustaad karte hain

dil ke muaamle mein mujhe dakhl kuchh nahin
is ke mizaaj mein jidhar aae udhar rahe
