Qateel Shifai

sandalin jism ki khushbu se mahakti hui raat

mujh se kahti hai yahin aaj basera kar le

gar tiri niind ujalon ki parastar nahin

apne ehsas pe zulfon ka andhera kar le

main ki din bhar ki chaka-chaund se uktaya hua

kisi ghunche ki tarah dhuup men kumhlaya hua

ik nai chhanv men sustane ko aa baitha huun

gardish-e-dahr ke alam se ghabraya hua

sochta huun ki yahin aaj basera kar luun

subh ke saath kadi dhuup khadi hai sar par

kyuun na is abr ko kuchh aur ghanera kar luun

jaane ye raat akele men kate ya na kate

kyuun na kuchh der shabistan men andhera kar luun

lekin is raat ki ye baat na badh jaae kahin

tujh se mil kar ye mire dil ko laga hai dhadka

raakh ho jaunga main subh se pahle pahle

khul ke siine men jo ehsas ka shoala bhadka
