ye saat-e-rangini-e-afkar rahegi
ta-umr yun hi garmi-e-bazar haigi
KHushbu-e-hadis-e-lab-o-ruKHsar rahegi
kal itni jawan zulf-e-shab-e-tar rahegi
diwangi jo be-dar-o-diwar rahegi
galiyon mein to zanjir ki jhankar rahegi
chhat kaghzi miTTi ki ye diwar rahegi
barish ki inayat to lagatar rahegi
duniya mein yunhi raunaq-e-pindar rahegi
kandhon pe mere sar hai to dastar rahegi
sukha hua patta to hawaon mein uDega
dharti ki taraf shaKH-e-samar-dar rahegi
suraj meri nas nas mein pighalne laga yaro
phir dil pe gham-o-dard ki yalghaar rahegi
chaTTan ke kaT jaane ka imkan bahut hai
pani ki isi tarah jo raftar rahegi
barish ke darichon se chamakne lagi bijli
'saifi' ye ghani shab sahar-asar rahegi
Ghazal
Ye saat-e-rangini-e-afkar rahegi
