Mehrban Mujh Pe Ho Ai Rashk-E-Qamar Aaj Ki Raat

Poet

mehrban mujh pe ho ai rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat

aa mire chand ke TukḌe mire ghar aaj ki raat

raah bhuul aaya hai ik chand idhar aaj ki raat

kaisi ghar baiThi hai daulat mire ghar aaj ki raat

yaar aaya nahin kyuun kar ho basar aaj ki raat

ta-qayamat nahin hone ki sahar aaj ki raat

aap se aap vo aa.e mire ghar aaj ki raat

din-o-duniya ki nahin mujh ko ḳhabar aaj ki raat

kyuun ḳhafa mujh se hai vo rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat

badli badli nazar aati hai nazar aaj ki raat

ai sanam bahr-e-ḳhuda aap hi laa.en tashrif

putliyon ka hai tamasha mire ghar aaj ki raat

sadgi hai tiri pariyon ki banavaT se siva

sub.h ho ja.egi itna na nikhar aaj ki raat

zulf suljhate hue pyaar se vo dekhte hain

kya main ho ja.unga manzur-e-nazar aaj ki raat

meri gustaḳhi na yaad aa.e ilahi hargiz

un ko bekal na kare fikr-e-kamar aaj ki raat

maang moti se bhari hai na chaḌho koThe par

tum ko lag ja.egi taron ki nazar aaj ki raat

lailatul-qadr hai ye ya shab-e-me.araj hai ye

yaar ke zaanu pe apna jo hai sar aaj ki raat

vasl ik parda-nashin se hai na ho ghair ka daḳhl

sham.a tak aa.e na parvane ka par aaj ki raat

mehman aap bas itna hi rahen mere ghar

kal ka roz aaj ka din chaar pahar aaj ki raat

kal na dunga tujhe taklif kuchh aisi vallah

khol de band-e-qaba sharm na kar aaj ki raat

jalva kya ḳhuub hai mahtabi ka mahtabi par

lutf-e-mai-noshi hai ai rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat

bagh-o-mai chandni aur vasl-e-pari hai mujh ko

piite hain mere adu ḳhun-e-jigar aaj ki raat

gul-badan pahne hain vo mahram-e-kamḳhab nahin

niind aane ka mire dil men hai Dar aaj ki raat

kis zaban se ho bayan aao gale lag jaao

dil se dil hi sune kuchh dard-e-jigar aaj ki raat

baḳht-e-be-dar se vo chand mire haath aaya

asman tak hain mire dast-nigar aaj ki raat

haath se zulf vo suljha.en to ho ja.un nihal

dekh luun naḳhl-e-tamanna ke samar aaj ki raat

ashiq-e-abru ko kya qatl karoge nadan

nannhi talvar jo hai zeb-e-kamar aaj ki raat

yaar ki zulf-e-zar-afshan mujhe yaad aati hai

kya hi siine se nikalte hain sharar aaj ki raat

bashkan-o-bashkan miina ki sada ko sun kar

aane paa.e na kahin miim basar aaj ki raat

gore galon se na sarkao siyah-zulfon ko

ḳhauf hai mujh ko na ho jaa.e sahar aaj ki raat

ashiq-e-zulf ko do bosa-o-ḳhatt-o-abru

mus.haf-e-ruḳh pe likhun zer-o-zabar aaj ki raat

raqs is zohra-jabin ka hai adu ke ghar men

mehr mizan men hai aqrab men qamar aaj ki raat

haath vo joḌte hain sar hai mira qadmon par

ho na samjhane manane men sahar aaj ki raat

ḳhufta-baḳhti se ilahi ye kahin so jaa.en

topchi zahid-o-murghan-e-sahar aaj ki raat

gul-e-shabbu hai laja lo gul-e-sudi hai gulab

sharm-o-ghussa hai araq men vo hain tar aaj ki raat

asman par hai dimagh ab nahin milne ke ‘nasim’

mehrban un pe hai ik rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat
