uff vo tufaan-e-shabaab aah vo siina teraa — Andaleeb Shadani

jigar mein Tiis lab hansne pe majbur
kuchh aisi hi hamaari zindagi hai

der lagi aane mein tum ko shukr hai phir bhi aae to
aas ne dil kaa saath na chhoDaa vaise ham ghabraae to

dil par choT paDi hai tab to aah labon tak aai hai
yuun hi chhan se bol uThnaa to shishe kaa dastur nahin

jhuuT hai sab taarikh hamesha apne ko dohraati hai
achchhaa meraa khvaab-e-javaani thoDaa saa dohraae to

chaahat ke badle mein ham bech dein apni marzi tak
koi mile to dil kaa gaahak koi hamein apnaae to

be-niyaazaana baraabar se guzarne vaale
tez kuchh qalb ki raftaar hui thi ki nahin

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

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

kahun ai zauq kyaa haal-e-shab-e-hijr
ki thi ik ik ghaDi sau sau mahine

ab bhi barsaat ki raaton mein badan TuTtaa hai
jaag uThti hain ajab khvaahishein angDaai ki
