faqat zanjir badli jaa rahi thi — Vikas Sharma Raaz

muddatein ho gaiin hisaab kiye
kyaa pataa kitne rah gae hain ham

iraada to nahin hai khud-kushi kaa
magar main zindagi se khush nahin huun

dekhnaa chaahtaa huun gum ho kar
kyaa koi DhunD ke laataa hai mujhe

jise dekho ghazal pahne hue hai
bahut sastaa ye zevar gayaa hai

asar hai ye hamaari dastakon kaa
jahaan divaar thi dar ho gayaa hai

mujh ko aksar udaas karti hai
ek tasvir muskuraati hui

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

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

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

dilaa us ki kaakul se rakh jama khaatir
pareshaan se haasil kab ik daam hogaa
