Aaj Ki Raat

Asrarul Haq Majaz

dekhna jazb-e-mohabbat ka asar aaj ki raat

mere shane pe hai us shokh ka sar aaj ki raat

aur kya chahiye ab ai dil-e-majruh tujhe

us ne dekha to ba-andaz-e-digar aaj ki raat

phuul kya khaar bhi hain aaj gulistan-ba-kanar

sang-reze hain nigahon men guhar aaj ki raat

mahv-e-gulgasht hai ye kaun mire dosh-ba-dosh

kahkashan ban gai har rahguzar aaj ki raat

phuut nikla dar-o-divar se sailab-e-nashat

allah allah mira kaif-e-nazar aaj ki raat

shabnamistan-e-tajalli ka fusun kya kahiye

chand ne phenk diya rakht-e-safar aaj ki raat

nuur hi nuur hai kis samt uthaun anhken

husn hi husn hai ta-hadd-e-nazar aaj ki raat

qasr-e-giti men umand aaya hai tufan-e-hayat

maut larzan hai pas-e-parda-e-dar aaj ki raat

allah allah vo peshani-e-simin ka jamal

rah gai jam ke sitaron ki nazar aaj ki raat

ariz-e-garm pe vo rang-e-shafaq ki lahren

vo miri shokh-nigahi ka asar aaj ki raat

nargis-e-naz men vo niind ka halka sa khumar

vo mire naghma-e-shirin ka asar aaj ki raat

naghma o mai ka ye tufan-e-tarab kya kahiye

ghar mira ban gaya ‘khayyam’ ka ghar aaj ki raat

meri har saans pe vo un ki tavajjoh kya khuub

meri har baat pe vo jumbish-e-sar aaj ki raat

vo tabassum hi tabassum ka jamal-e-paiham

vo mohabbat hi mohabbat ki nazar aaj ki raat

uf vo varaftagi-e-shauq men ik vahm-e-latif

kapkapae hue honton pe nazar aaj ki raat

mazhab-e-ishq men jaaez hai yaqinan jaaez

chuum luun main lab-e-laalin bhi agar aaj ki raat

apni rifat pe jo nazan hain to nazan hi rahen

kah do anjum se ki dekhen na idhar aaj ki raat

un ke altaf ka itna hi fusun kaafi hai

kam hai pahle se bahut dard-e-jigar aaj ki raat
