Ai Shab Hijr Kahin Teri Sahar Hai Ki Nahin

Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

ai shab hijr kahin teri sahar hai ki nahin

nala-e-nim-shabi tujh men asar hai ki nahin

jaan par apni main khela huun judai men tiri

be-khabar tujh ko bhi kuchh us ki khabar hai ki nahin

ek muddat hui ham vasf-e-kamar karte hain

par ye maalum nahin us ke kamar hai ki nahin

rakh na sozan ko zara dekh to le ai jarrah

qabil-e-bakhiya mira zakhm-e-jigar hai ki nahin

kya khush aai hai dila manzil-e-hasti tujh ko

sach bata yaan se tira azm-e-safar hai ki nahin

to jo be-parda ho munh ghair ko dikhlata hai

paas mera bhi kuchh ai rashk-e-qamar hai ki nahin

dekh tu ai but-e-be-mehr tiri furqat men

har-bun-e-mue mira dida-e-tar hai ki nahin

us ke dar par hi jo rahta huun main din raat pada

mujh se jhunjhla ke kahe hai tire ghar hai ki nahin

‘mushafi’ us ki gali men jo tu jaata hai sada

apni badnami ka kuchh tujh ko bhi dar hai ki nahin
