der tak raat andhere mein jo maine dekha
der tak raat añdhere meñ jo maiñ ne dekhā
mujh se bichhḌe hue ik shaḳhs kā chehra ubhrā
qasmeñ de de ke mire hāthoñ ne mujh ko rokā
maiñ ne dīvār se kal naam jab us kā khurchā
dekh kar us ko lagā jaise kahīñ ho dekhā
yaad bilkul nahīñ aayā mujhe ghanToñ sochā
mom-battī ko galātā rahā dhīre dhīre
raat añdhere kā mire kamre meñ bahtā laavā
kitne maġhmūm ġhazāloñ kā bharam rakhtā hai
narm kapḌe se tarāshā huā kaalā burqa
qadr ab ho ki na ho zehn-e-rasā kī lekin
aa hī jaatā hai kabhī kaam ye khoTā sikka
saare din merī tarah jaltā hai aur shaam Dhale
har-bun-e-mū se lipaT jaatā hai merā saayā
apne hoñToñ pe sajā letā huuñ maiñ jhūTī hañsī
apnī palkoñ meñ chhupā letā huuñ jaltā dariyā
maan lo merī jo hai us pe qanā.at kar lo
ab nahīñ utregā is duniyā meñ mann-o-salvā
der tak raat andhere mein jo main ne dekha
mujh se bichhDe hue ek shaKHs ka chehra ubhra
qasmen de de ke mere hathon ne mujh ko roka
main ne diwar se kal nam jab us ka khurcha
dekh kar us ko laga jaise kahin ho dekha
yaad bilkul nahin aaya mujhe ghanTon socha
mom-batti ko galata raha dhire dhire
raat andhere ka mere kamre mein bahta lawa
kitne maghmum ghazalon ka bharam rakhta hai
narm kapDe se tarasha hua kala burqa
qadr ab ho ki na ho zehn-e-rasa ki lekin
aa hi jata hai kabhi kaam ye khoTa sikka
sare din meri tarah jalta hai aur sham Dhale
har-bun-e-mu se lipaT jata hai mera saya
apne honTon pe saja leta hun main jhuTi hansi
apni palkon mein chhupa leta hun jalta dariya
man lo meri jo hai us pe qanaat kar lo
ab nahin utrega is duniya mein mann-o-salwa
