zarf TuuTaa to vasl hotaa hai — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

ai khizaan bhaag jaa chaman se shitaab
varna fauj-e-bahaar aave hai

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

sau baar taar taar kiyaa to bhi ab talak
saabit vahi hai dast o garebaan ki dosti

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

garche halkaa saa dhundlakaa hai tasavvur bhi tiraa
band aankhon ko ye manzar bhi bahut lagtaa hai

khud apne dil ki sadaa teri dastakon si lagi
gumaan mein thaa teraa aanaa qayaas aisaa thaa

ki hai sargoshi sar-e-shaam mire dil ne phir
is liye ham ne lapeTaa nahin bistar apnaa

ik tajassus dil mein hai ye kyaa huaa kaise huaa
jo kabhi apnaa na thaa vo ghair kaa kaise huaa
