Ghazal

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharab aae is ke baad aae jo azaab aae bam-e-mina se mahtab utre dast-e-saqi men aftab

aaj yuun mauj-dar-mauj gham tham gaya is tarah gham-zadon ko qarar aa gaya jaise khush-bu-e-zulf-e-bahar aa gai jaise paigham-e-didar-e-yar aa

”aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar” chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bhar gaah jalti hui gaah bujhti hui sham-e-gham

ab ke baras dastur-e-sitam men kya kya baab izad hue jo qatil the maqtul hue jo said the ab sayyad

ab vahi harf-e-junun sab ki zaban thahri hai jo bhi chal nikli hai vo baat kahan thahri hai aaj tak

baat bas se nikal chali hai dil ki halat sambhal chali hai ab junun had se badh chala hai ab

chand nikle kisi janib tiri zebai ka rang badle kisi surat shab-e-tanhai ka daulat-e-lab se phir ai khusrav-e-shirin-dahanan aaj arzan

kuchh mohtasibon ki khalvat men kuchh vaaiz ke ghar jaati hai ham bada-kashon ke hisse ki ab jaam men kam-tar

kuchh pahle in ankhon aage kya kya na nazara guzre tha kya raushan ho jaati thi gali jab yaar hamara
