raat kya kya mujhe malal na tha

bulbul sune na kyunki qafas mein chaman ki baat

jahan kuchh dard ka mazkur hoga

jis ke talib hain wo matlub kahin baiTh raha

ba-sad aarzu jo wo aaya to ye hijab-e-ishq se haal tha

husn ai jaan nahin rahne ka

baghair uske ye hairan hain baghal dekh apni Khaali hum

dil ko ai ishq su-e-zulf-e-siyah-fam na bhej

jab maine kaha ai but-e-KHud-kaam ware aa

jo rah-e-mulaqat thi so jaan gae hum

hum kab az-KHud tere ghar yar chale aate hain

tasawwur bandhte hain us ka jab wahshat ke mare hum

shab-e-hijran mein mat puchho ki kin baaton mein rahta hun

josh-e-girya ye dam-e-ruKHsat-e-yar aae nazar

har-chand bhare dil mein hain lakhon hi gile par
