didaar se pahle hi kyaa haal huaa dil kaa — Wasif Dehlvi

bujhte hue charaagh farozaan kareinge ham
tum aaoge to jashn-e-charaaghaan kareinge ham

kitni ghaTaaein aaiin baras kar guzar gaiin
shola hamaare dil kaa bujhaayaa na jaa sakaa

daaman ke daagh ashk-e-nadaamat ne dho diye
lekin ye dil kaa daagh miTaayaa na jaa sakaa

aaj rukhsat ho gayaa duniyaa se ik bimaar-e-gham
dard aisaa dil mein uTThaa jaan le kar hi gayaa

vafur-e-be-khudi mein rakh diyaa sar un ke qadmon par
vo kahte hi rahe 'vaasif' ye mahfil hai ye mahfil hai

qismat ki tirgi ki kahaani na puchhiye
subh-e-vatan bhi shaam-e-gharibaan hai aaj kal

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

khvaahish sukun ki hai na ab iztiraab ki
allaah re zidein dil-e-khaana-kharaab ki

shahr ki bhiiD mein aankhein jise kho deti hain
dil ke aangan mein vahi shakhs khaDaa hotaa hai

ustaad kah rahe the chhuraa dil pe chal gayaa
dum par hamaari paanv vo rakh kar nikal gayaa

khilte hain dil mein phuul tiri yaad ke tufail
aatish-kada to der hui sard ho gayaa
