Nazm

ghanghor ghata ke anchal ko jab kaali raat nichod gai ik tanhai ko chain mila ik tanhai dam tod gai

gungunati si koi raat bhi aa jaati hai aap aate hain to barsat bhi aa jaati hai ham ko har-chand

hadse phail gae saya-e-mizhgan ki tarah gham-e-dauran bhi mila hai gham-e-janan ki tarah laakh paivand umidon ne laga rakkhe hain

halat ke qadmon pe qalandar nahin girta tuute bhi jo taara to zamin par nahin girta girte hain samundar men

halat ki bhigi raat bhi hai jazbat ka tez alaav bhi main kaun si aag men jal jaun ai nukta-varo

halat ki ujdi mahfil men ab koi sulagta saaz nahin naghme to lapakte hain lekin shoalon sa kahin andaz nahin

halat se khauf kha raha huun shishe ke mahal bana raha huun siine men mire hai mom ka dil suraj

haath diya is ne mire haath men main to vali ban gaya ik raat men ishq karoge to kamaoge naam

ham ko to intizar-e-sahar bhi qubul hai lekin shab-e-firaq tira kya usuul hai ai mah-e-nim-shab tiri raftar ke nisar ye

har be-zaban ko shoala-nava kah liya karo yaaro sukut hi ko sada kah liya karo khud ko fareb do ki
