nazar mein be-rukhi lab par tabassum — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa

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

nigaah-e-yaar mil jaati to ham shaagird ho jaate
zaraa ye siikh lete dil ke le lene kaa Dhab kyaa hai
