divaana-e-justuju ho gayaa chaand — Ziauddin Ahmad Shakeb

isi tarah baatein kiye jaaiye
ye tarz-e-takallum bahut khuub hai

meri tajviz par khafaa kyuun ho
baat kuchh aql ke khilaaf nahin

hamein bhi zarurat thi ik shakhs ki
ye husn-e-tasaadum bahut khuub hai

paDti nahin hai dil pe tire husn ki kiran
kis samt mere chaand darakhshaan hai aaj-kal

aariz se tire subh ki tohmat na uThegi
zulfon pe tiri shaam kaa ilzaam rahegaa

mukhtasar baat-chit achchhi hai
lekin itnaa bhi ikhtisaar na kar

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

rashk se naam nahin lete ki sun le na koi
dil hi dil mein use ham yaad kiyaa karte hain
