Bagh Mein Jugnu Chamakte Hain Jo Pyare Raat Ko

Rasheed Lakhnavi

baagh men jugnu chamakte hain jo pyare raat ko

yaad aate hain un ankhon ke ishare raat ko

shub.h hai tum ko kahan TuuTe hain taare raat ko

dam-ba-dam aansu Tapakte the hamare raat ko

TuuTe taare saikḌon yuun qudsiyon ke dil hile

dard se jis vaqt ham tum ko pukare raat ko

puuri gardish asman ne shaam se ki ta-sahar

aaj main ne gin liye saare sitare raat ko

dhuup nikli din ko chehre se haTa li jab naqab

chandni phaili jahan kapḌe utare raat ko

saaf karvaT lene ki avaz aa.i kaan men

su-e-dil jab jhuk ke ham tum ko pukare raat ko

zarron ko shabash din ko hain huzur-e-mahr-e-ruḳh

dekhiye chhup ke nikalte hain sitare raat ko

hijr ki muddat na hogi ḳhatm sabit ho chuka

din ko zarre gin chuka main aur taare raat ko

ulfat-e-ruḳh men hai vahshat yad-e-gesu men buka

din ko sahra men hain dariya ke kinare raat ko

aa ga.i sub.h-e-qayamat aur main soya nahin

phir na aa.i niind tum jab se sidhare raat ko

dil jigar lene phir aa.e sub.h ko kahte hue

rah ga.e bistar pe do moti hamare raat ko

munh pe zulf-e-zar-fishan hai mujh se hai rone ka hukm

chandni dekhi hai dariya ke kinare raat ko

aap ara.ish bhi karte hain muafiq vaqt ke

din ko munh dhoya gaya gesu sanvare raat ko

DhunDhte phirte hain dil ko sub.h se har-su ‘rashid’

dil-ruba tha ek pahlu men hamare raat ko
