jab dil pe chhaa rahi hon ghaTaaein malaal ki — Seemab Akbarabadi

dekhte rahte hain chhup-chhup ke muraqqaa teraa
kabhi aati hai havaa bhi to chhupaa lete hain

tujhe daanista mahfil mein jo dekhaa ho to mujrim huun
nazar aakhir nazar hai be-iraada uTh gai hogi

manzil mili muraad mili muddaaa milaa
sab kuchh mujhe milaa jo tiraa naqsh-e-paa milaa

khudaa aur naakhudaa mil kar Dubo dein ye to mumkin hai
meri vajh-e-tabaahi sirf tufaan ho nahin saktaa

dekhte hi dekhte duniyaa se main uTh jaaungaa
dekhti ki dekhti rah jaaegi duniyaa mujhe

chamak jugnu ki barq-e-be-amaan maalum hoti hai
qafas mein rah ke qadr-e-aashiyaan maalum hoti hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

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

ishq ko naghma-e-ummid sunaa de aa kar
dil ki soi hui qismat ko jagaa de aa kar
