hai sair nigaahon mein shabistaan adu ki — Zaheer Dehlvi

bujhaaun kyaa charaagh-e-subh-gaahi
mire ghar shaam honi hai sahar se

chaahat kaa jab mazaa hai ki vo bhi hon be-qaraar
donon taraf ho aag baraabar lagi hui

shirkat gunaah mein bhi rahe kuchh savaab ki
tauba ke saath toDiye botal sharaab ki

kuchh to hote hain mohabbat mein junun ke aasaar
aur kuchh log bhi divaana banaa dete hain

samjheinge na aghyaar ko aghyaar kahaan tak
kab tak vo mohabbat ko mohabbat na kaheinge

ishq kyaa shai hai husn hai kyaa chiiz
kuchh idhar ki hai kuchh udhar ki aag

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

sitaara aankh mein dil mein gulaab kyaa rakhnaa
ki Dhalti umr mein rang-e-shabaab kyaa rakhnaa

gum to honaa thaa ba-har-haal kisi manzar mein
dil huaa khvaab mein gum aankh hui aab mein gum

dil rotaa hai chehraa hanstaa rahtaa hai
kaisaa kaisaa farz nibhaanaa hotaa hai

apni kahaani dil mein chhupaa kar rakhte hain
duniyaa vaalon ko hairaan nahin karte
