dil par bhi aao ek nazar Daalte chalein — Shahzad Ahmad

shaayad isi baais huiin patthar miri aankhein
jo kuchh ki mujhe dekhnaa thaa dekh liyaa hai

zabaanein thak chukin patthar hue kaan
kahaani an-kahi thi an-kahi hai

ek se manzar dekh dekh kar aankhein dukhne lagti hain
is raste par peD bahut hain aur haraa koi bhi nahin

khule asraar us par jism ke aahista aahista
bahut din mein use baatein na karne kaa hunar aayaa

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae

ab to insaan ki azmat bhi koi chiiz nahin
log patthar ko khudaa maan liyaa karte the

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

vo tire shahr mein aate hi dhDaknaa dil kaa
har gali yaar mire teri gali ho jaise

sang-paraston ki basti mein shisha-garon ki khair nahin hai
jin ki aankhein nuur se khaali un ke dil hain aahan aahan

gulon se nahin shaakh ke dil se puchho
ki ye bad-numaa khaar kitnaa hasin hai

itnaa badal gayaa huun ki pahchaanne mujhe
aaegaa vo to khud se guzar kar hi aaegaa
