1/8: andaaz

dost ban kar bhi

naheen saath nibhaane wala

wahi andaaz hai

zaalim ka zamaane wala

though being my friend

he does not stand by me

just like the way

the heartless world always behaves

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

2/8: andaaz

apne andaaz-e-takallum ko

badal de varna

mera lahja bhi tere saath

badal sakta hai

change the manner

of your speech, or else

i will be compelled to

change my tone as well

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

3/8: andaaz

kuch is andaaz se

sayyaad ne azaad kiya

jo chale chhuT ke qafas se

wo giraftar chale

in such a way the captor

has set them free

they flew out of the cage

but are hostages still

4/8: andaaz

andaaz apna dekhte hain

aaine mein woh

aur ye bhi dekhte hain

koyi dekhta na ho

she looks in the mirror

to check herself out

she also looks to make sure

no one's looking

5/8: andaaz

aafat to hai vo naaz bhi

andaaz bhi lekin

marta huun main jis par

vo adaa aur hi kuchh hai

catastrophes they sure are

those airs and those manners

that style and grace for which i die

oh, it is something else

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

6/8: andaaz

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan

rang badal deta hai

varna duniya mein

koi baat nai baat nahin

the style of narration

changes everything, ‘saif’

if not, in this world

there is nothing new to say

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

7/8: andaaz

sadiyon se zamaane ka

ye andaaz rahaa hai

saaya bhi juda ho gaya

jab waqt pada hai

for ages

it has been this way

even your shadow leaves

when bad times fall

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

8/8: andaaz

phir dekhiye

andaaz-e-gulafshaani-e-guftaar

rakh de koyi

paimaana-e-sahbaa mere aage

you watch

the style of my fun, flowery speech

after someone

places a glass of wine in front of me
