khvaab-gah mein siyaah khushbu thi — Abbas Kaify

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

munh chhupaanaa paDe na dushman se
ai shab-e-gham sahar na ho jaae

qahr hai zahr hai aghyaar ko laanaa shab-e-vasl
aise aane se to behtar hai na aanaa shab-e-vasl

hai sair nigaahon mein shabistaan adu ki
kyaa mujh se chhupaate ho tamaashaa mire dil kaa
