Aftab Hussain
shab-e-siyah pe va raushni ka baab to ho
magar ye shart hai koi sitara-yab to ho
main harf ban ke tiri ruuh men utar jaun
mira sukhan tiri mahfil men baryab to ho
savad-e-shab ke safar men sitara-var chalun
tire jamal ki lau meri ham-rikab to ho
kisi tarah to ghate dil ki be-qarari bhi
chalo vo chashm nahin kam se kam sharab to ho
asas-e-jism uthaun nae sire se magar
ye sochta huun ki mitti miri kharab to ho
vo ‘aftab’ lab-e-bam bhi utar aae
magar kisi men use dekhne ki taab to ho
