samundar dasht par but kaTti hai
musibat ko musibat kaTti hai
chhupaun sar to khul jata hai panw
zarurat ko zarurat kaTti hai
zamin karti hai baaten aasman se
yahan har shai ki qimat kaTti hai
maza foot-path ka puchho na yaro
imarat ki mujhe chhat kaTti hai
faqiri mein hai itna lutf yaro
ki mujh ko baadshahat kaTti hai
ghanimat jaaniye jangal mein basna
hamein ab aadamiyat kaTti hai
buzurgon ka kaha kab mante hain
ki bachchon ko nasihat kaTti hai
badan mein chubhti hain nazron ki kirchen
use logon ki niyyat kaTti hai
hua hun is qadar badnam 'saifi'
mujhe ab meri shohrat kaTti hai
Ghazal
Samundar dasht par but kaTti hai
Muneer Saifi
