bayaan qissa-e-bechaargi kiyaa jaae — Sarwar Alam Raz

kam-ayaari ne khudaa-soz banaayaa aisaa
but to sab yaad rahe ek khudaa bhuul gae

shauq hai tujh ko zamaane mein tiraa naam rahe
aur mujhe Dar hai mohabbat miri bad-naam na ho

tu ne kab ishq mein achchhaa buraa sochaa 'sarvar'
kaise mumkin hai ki teraa buraa anjaam na ho

dekh ye jazb-e-mohabbat kaa karishma to nahin
kal jo tere dil mein thaa vo aaj mere dil mein hai

aarzu hasrat aur ummid shikaayat aansu
ik tiraa zikr thaa aur biich mein kyaa kyaa niklaa

be-kaif javaani hai be-dard zamaana hai
naakaam-e-mohabbat kaa itnaa hi fasaana hai

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

bichhaD gae to ye dil umr bhar lagegaa nahin
lagegaa lagne lagaa hai magar lagegaa nahin

yuun apne aap ko barbaad kartaa hai koi
ai mere dil tu samajhdaar hai nahin hai kyaa

tumhaari yaad baDi khush-gavaar thi lekin
dil-e-hazin ke liye talkhiyaan baDhaa bhi gai

rang badlaa huaa hai maujon kaa
kaun utraa thaa aaj paani mein
