gahri raat hai aur tufan ka shor bahut

wo aur mohabbat se mujhe dekh raha ho

KHanjar chamka raat ka sina chaak hua

jag ke mere sath samundar raaten karta hai

sitamgaron ka tariq-e-jafa nahin jata

bhaDakti aag hai shoalon mein hath Dale kaun

main chhu sakun tujhe mera KHayal-e-KHam hai kya

rang-e-ghazal mein dil ka lahu bhi shamil ho

taza hai uski mahak raat ki rani ki tarah

zaKHm purane phul sabhi basi ho jaenge

hawa mein uDta koi KHanjar jata hai

marne ka sukh jine ki aasani de

ek kiran bas raushniyon mein sharik nahin hoti

raste mein kahin khona hi to hai

be-hisi par meri wo KHush tha ki patthar hi to hai

aur gulon ka kaam nahin hota koi

raat damakti hai rah rah kar maddham si

be-karan dasht-e-be-sada mere

mauzu-e-suKHan himmat-e-ali hi rahegi

murad-e-shikwa nahin lutf-e-guftugu ke siwa

main aks-e-arzu tha hawa le gai mujhe

main tishna tha mujhe sar-chashma-e-sarab diya

khuli thi aankh samundar ki mauj-e-KHwab tha wo

subh chaman mein jaana mera aur faza mein bikhar jaana

ek pili chamkili chiDiya kali aankh nashili si

pahle mujhko bhi KHayal-e-yar ka dhoka hua

ho chuke gum sare KHadd-o-Khaal manzar aur main

tu pasheman na ho main shad hun nashad nahin

jhuke hue peDon ke tanon par chhap hai chanchal dhaare ki

mera nishan bhi DhunDh ghubar-e-mah-o-aKHtar mein

din teri yaad mein Dhal jata hai aansu ki tarah

bas ek parda-e-ighmaz tha kafan us ka

lagaun hath tujhe ye KHayal-e-KHam hai kya

lahr lahr kya jagmag jagmag hoti hai

ujDi hui basti ki subh o sham hi kya

mera adam wajud bhi kya zar-nigar tha

suraj ne ek nazar mere zaKHmon pe Dal ke

Dhala na sang ke paikar mein yar kis ka tha

dhaDakte dil ko pattharon mein DhunDhna to chahiye

KHak aaina dikhati hai ki pahchan mein aa

bahaar kaun si tujh mein jamal-e-yar na thi

ghaar ke munh se ye chaTTan haTane ke liye

bujhte suraj ne liya phir ye sambhaala kaisa

shahr mein humse kuchh aashufta-dilan aur bhi hain

hai bahut taq wo bedad mein Dar hai ye bhi

mauj-e-reg sarab-e-sahra kaise banti hai

naqsh-e-taswir na wo sang ka paikar koi

mujh aise wamanda-e-jaan ko bistar-wistar kya

aalam se fuzun tera aalam nazar aata hai

mauja-e-gham mein rawani bhi to ho
