hijr kaa din kyuun chaDhne paae — Ajeet Singh Hasrat

pahle vaqton mein ho to ho shaayad
dosti ab hasin gaali hai

abhi kuchh aur tiri justuju rulaaegi
abhi kuchh aur bhaTaknaa hai dar-ba-dar mujh ko

aakhiri ummid bhi aankhon se chhalkaae hue
kaun si jaanib chale hain tere Thukraae hue

ban sanvar kar rahaa karo 'hasrat'
us ki paD jaae ik nazar shaayad

bas ek hi balaa hai mohabbat kahein jise
vo paaniyon mein aag lagaati hai aaj bhi

ruThaa yaar manaanaa hai
koi svaang rachaao ab

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

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

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

ye raat yunhi basar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
tire baghair sahar ho gai to kyaa hogaa

tum aake lauT gae phir bhi ho yahin maujud
tumhaare jism ki khushbu mire makaan mein hai

itni siyaah-raat mein itni si raushni
ye chaand vo nahin miraa mahtaab aur hai
