Shab-E-Mahtab Bhi Apni Bhari-Barsat Bhi Apni

Zaheer Kashmiri

shab-e-mahtab bhi apni bhari-barsat bhi apni

tumhare dam-qadam se zindagi thi zindagi apni

yahan pabandi, narazi, jununi baat hai varna

jamal-e-yar se kuchh kam nahin tabindagi apni

mujhe shadabi-e-sahne-e-chaman se ḳhauf aata hai

yahi andaz the jab luuT ga.i thi zindagi apni

tumhara gham ise ashob-e-sarasar bacha.e ga

havaon se bhaḌak uTThi hai sham-e-zindagi apni

magar tum bhi to ik bu-e-gurezan ki tarah nikle

guzarne ko guzar jaati bahar-e-dosti apni

zahir is chashm-e-avval pe yunhi mahsus hota hai

baḌi muddat se hai jaise kisi se dosti apni
