Aaj Ki Shab To Kisi Taur Guzar Jaegi

Parveen Shakir

aaj ki shab to kisi taur guzar jaegi

raat gahri hai magar chand chamakta hai abhi

mere mathe pe tira pyaar damakta hai abhi

meri sanson men tira lams mahakta hai abhi

mere siine men tira naam dhadakta hai abhi

ziist karne ko mire paas bahut kuchh hai abhi

teri avaz ka jaadu hai abhi mere liye

tere malbus ki khushbu hai abhi mere liye

teri banhen tira pahlu hai abhi mere liye

sab se badh kar miri jaan tu hai abhi mere liye

ziist karne ko mire paas bahut kuchh hai abhi

aaj ki shab to kisi taur guzar jaegi!

aaj ke baad magar rang-e-vafa kya hoga

ishq hairan hai sar-e-shahr-e-saba kya hoga

mere qatil tira andaz-e-jafa kya hoga!

aaj ki shab to bahut kuchh hai magar kal ke liye

ek andesha-e-be-nam hai aur kuchh bhi nahin

dekhna ye hai ki kal tujh se mulaqat ke baad

rang-e-ummid khilega ki bikhar jaega

vaqt parvaz karega ki thahar jaega

jiit ho jaegi ya khel bigad jaega

khvab ka shahr rahega ki ujad jaega
