Muneer Saifi
ye sa.at-e-rangini-e-afkar rahegi
ta-umr yuun hi garmi-e-bazar haigi
ḳhushbu-e-hadis-e-lab-o-ruḳhsar rahegi
kal itni javan zulf-e-shab-e-tar rahegi
divangi jo be-dar-o-divar rahegi
galiyon men to zanjir ki jhankar rahegi
chhat kaghzi miTTi ki ye divar rahegi
barish ki inayat to lagatar rahegi
duniya men yunhi raunaq-e-pindar rahegi
kandhon pe mire sar hai to dastar rahegi
sukha hua patta to havaon men uḌega
dharti ki taraf shaḳh-e-samar-dar rahegi
suraj miri nas nas men pighalne laga yaaro
phir dil pe gham-o-dard ki yalghar rahegi
chaTTan ke kaT jaane ka imkan bahut hai
paani ki isi tarah jo raftar rahegi
barish ke darichon se chamakne lagi bijli
‘saifi’ ye ghani shab sahar-asar rahegi
