Siraj Lakhnavi
ab na kuchh sunna na sunana raat guzarti jaati hai
ḳhatm hai ab be-kahe fasana raat guzarti jaati hai
jaldi kya hai barq-e-tabassum dhuan banega ḳhud aansu
din ho le phir aag lagana raat guzarti jaati hai
tasht-e-tila.i men suraj ke ek ik ashk parakh lena
vaqt-e-sahar ilzam lagana raat guzarti jaati hai
rah nahin sakte mujrim aansu qaidi hababi shishe men
vaqt pe chhalkega paimana raat guzarti jaati hai
bistar par surḳh angaron ke dhuen ki chadar oḌhe hue
sota rahta hai parvana raat guzarti jaati hai
zinda ḳhuun ke aansu hain ye thoḌi der taḌapne de
vaqt-e-sahar miTTi men milana raat guzarti jaati hai
shabnam se phulon ke kaTore ḳhali ho ja.enge ‘siraj’
ashkon se bhar lo paimana raat guzarti jaati hai
