chand-raat
duur kavvoñ ne baiTh kar lab-e-jū
phir hilā.e thake thake baazū
gir rahī haiñ siyāhiyāñ har-sū
ek hī baar dal ke darvāze
khulte haiñ aur phir nahīñ khulte
raat aurat hai garche tīra-jabīñ
dil magar kārvān-e-sarā.e nahīñ
ek aivāñ hai jis ke darvāze
khul ke ik baar phir nahīñ khulte
ek beva ke naujavāñ jazbāt
soch raushan magar andher hayāt
chāñdnī naġhma-hā-e-kaif-o-surūr
chand lamhoñ kā ik fasāna-e-nūr
aur phir tīrgī sahar-andesh
jis tarah koī ek pal ke liye
apnā āñchal bikher kar chun le
aur phir parda-hā-e-tārīkī
ek hī baar dal ke darvāze
khulte haiñ aur phir nahīñ khulte
dur kawwon ne baiTh kar lab-e-ju
phir hilae thake thake bazu
gir rahi hain siyahiyan har-su
ek hi bar dal ke darwaze
khulte hain aur phir nahin khulte
raat aurat hai garche tira-jabin
dil magar karwan-e-sarae nahin
ek aiwan hai jis ke darwaze
khul ke ek bar phir nahin khulte
ek bewa ke naujawan jazbaat
soch raushan magar andher hayat
chandni naghma-ha-e-kaif-o-surur
chand lamhon ka ek fasana-e-nur
aur phir tirgi sahar-andesh
jis tarah koi ek pal ke liye
apna aanchal bikher kar chun le
aur phir parda-ha-e-tariki
ek hi bar dal ke darwaze
khulte hain aur phir nahin khulte
