Raat Kya Kya Mujhe Malal Na Tha

Poet

raat kya kya mujhe malal na tha

ḳhvab ka to kahin ḳhayal na tha

aaj kya jaane kya hua ham ko

kal bhi aisa to ji niDhal na tha

bole sab dekh meri jan-kavi

ye to farhad ka bhi haal na tha

jab talak ham na chahte the tujhe

tab tak aisa tira jamal na tha

ab to dil lag gaya hai kyuun ki na aa.en

pahle kahte to kuchh muhal na tha

Tal gaya dekh yuun tira abru

ki goya charḳh par hilal na tha

Tuk na Thahra mire vo paas aa kar

kuchh tamasha tha ye visal na tha

dekh shab apne rashk-e-laila ko

dang tha main to mujh men haal na tha

sun ke bola tamam qissa-e-qais

ishq ka us ko bhi kamal na tha

itna roya lahu tu kab ‘jur.at’

abhi daman tira to laal na tha
