jab yaad tumhaari aati thi ek dard sa paida hota tha
kuchh baat na hum se banti thi kuchh kaam na achchha hota tha

dil jaane wala tha to gaya kyon gham karte kyon pachhtate
jab hath se ek shai kho baithe phir hath male kya hota tha

kya lutf mila waqt-e-akhir shadan hai abhi tak ruh meri
ek jaan se apni jata tha ek mahw-e-tamasha hota tha

thi dard ki jab tak dil mein khatak hilta tha falak larzan thi zamin
hum aahen jis dam bharte the ek mahshar barpa hota tha

jis din se tumhein dekha hum ne aankhon mein hai ab tak wo naqsha
jo bich mein tum ne dala tha us parde se kya hota tha

gulshan mein jo tum aa jate the bulbul bhi to nale karte the
ek main hi nahin hun anokha kuchh sab jag tah-o-baala hota tha

'sayyaf' ka gham mein mit jaana duniya ke liye hai afsana
apne to hain apne zikr hi kya beganon mein charcha hota tha
