rishton ki daldal se kaise nikleinge — Shakeel Jamali

zindagi aise bhi haalaat banaa deti hai
log saanson kaa kafan oDh ke mar jaate hain

sab se pahle dil ke khaali-pan ko bharnaa
paisa saari umr kamaayaa jaa saktaa hai

apne khuun se itni to ummidein hain
apne bachche bhiiD se aage nikleinge

har kone se teri khushbu aaegi
har sanduq mein tere kapDe nikleinge

umr kaa ek aur saal gayaa
vaqt phir ham pe khaak Daal gayaa

abhi raushan huaa jaataa hai rasta
vo dekho ek aurat aa rahi 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

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

ik yahi duniyaa badalti hai 'farogh'
kaisi kaisi ajnabi duniyaaon mein

alfaaz mein band hain maaani
unvaan-e-kitaab-e-dil khulaa hai

dil ki baazi aisi baazi hai jis mein ham
haarein bhi to jiit manaai jaa sakti hai
