kyaa qayaamat hai hijr ke din bhi — Saifuddin Saif

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

ye aalaam-e-hasti ye daur-e-zamaana
to kyaa ab tumhein bhuul jaanaa paDegaa

us musaafir ki naqaahat kaa Thikaana kyaa hai
sang-e-manzil jise divaar nazar aane lage

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

zindagi kis tarah kaTegi 'saif'
raat kaTti nazar nahin aati

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh
