Razi Abuzar

jala hai parda-e-shab men hujum-e-parvana
barahna sham' magar be-qarar hai ab tak

kisi se mil ke kisi ko bura sa lagta hai
baDa gunah hai garche zara sa lagta hai

rabte TuuTe hain rishte rah ga.e hain naam ke
talkhiyan haa.el dilon ke darmiyan hoti ga.iin

shafaq ka rang sukun hai sahar ke chehre par
ki gesu-e-shab-e-gham be-qarar hai ab tak

sar-e-khamushi ye sajavaTen usi rang-o-bu ki misal hain
jo mahak ho qabr ke phuul men jo chamak ho sham'-e-mazar men

chappa chappa kona kona shahr ka ham ne chhana hai
vaqt ne karvaT badli ab har moD yahan an-jana hai

kisi se mil ke kisi ko buraa saa lagtaa hai
baDaa gunaah hai garche zaraa saa lagtaa hai

raabte TuuTe hain rishte rah gae hain naam ke
talkhiyaan haael dilon ke darmiyaan hoti gaiin

shafaq kaa rang sukun hai sahar ke chehre par
ki gesu-e-shab-e-gham be-qaraar hai ab tak

jalaa hai parda-e-shab mein hujum-e-parvaana
barahna sham' magar be-qaraar hai ab tak

jab zabaan rakkhi hai main ne halqa-e-zanjir mein
tab kahin aai hai shiddat she'r ki taasir mein

hijaabaana aa kar vo chalte bane
mujhe 'ishq kaa vasvasa rah gayaa
