chain ab mujh ko tah-e-dam to lene dete
tere fitne kahin aaram to lene dete
aap ne is ka taDapna bhi gawara na kiya
dil-e-muztar se koi kaam to lene dete
maut bhi bas mein nahin hai tere majburon ki
zindagi mein koi ilzam to lene dete
pal mein manzil pe uDa lae fana ke jhonke
lutf rah rah ke bahar-gam to lene dete
hath bhi teri nigahon ne uThane na diya
dil-e-betab zara tham to lene dete
'saif' har bar ishaaron mein kiya us ko KHitab
log us but ka mujhe nam to lene dete
Ghazal
Chain ab mujhko tah-e-dam to lene dete
