lagaa ke ThaT hai har suunaa muraadi — Shad Lakhnavi

khudaa kaa Dar na hotaa gar bashar ko
khudaa jaane ye banda kyaa na kartaa

visaal-e-yaar se duunaa huaa ishq
maraz baDhtaa gayaa juun juun davaa ki

na taDapne ki ijaazat hai na fariyaad ki hai
ghuT ke mar jaaun ye marzi mire sayyaad ki hai

javaani se ziyaada vaqt-e-piri josh hotaa hai
bhaDaktaa hai charaagh-e-subh jab khaamosh hotaa hai

vo nahaa kar zulf-e-pechaan ko jo bikhraane lage
husn ke dariyaa mein pinhaan saanp lahraane lage

ham na bigDeinge agar chasm-numaai hogi
phir kahin aankh laDaai to laDaai hogi

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

surat chhupaaiye kisi surat-parast se
ham dil mein naqsh aap ki tasvir kar chuke

dil kaun hai ki us se kahein raaz-e-ishq ham
tere khayaal se bhi na ham guftugu karein
