na mudaaraat hamaari na adu se nafrat — Bekhud Badayuni

gardish-e-bakht se baDhti hi chali jaati hain
miri dil-bastagiyaan zulf-e-girah-gir ke saath

shikva sun kar jo mizaaj-e-but-e-bad-khu badlaa
ham ne bhi saath hi taqrir kaa pahlu badlaa

khuun ho jaaein khaak mein mil jaaein
hazrat-e-dil se kuchh baiid nahin

vo un kaa vasl mein ye kah ke muskuraa denaa
tulu-e-subh se pahle hamein jagaa denaa

vo jo kar rahe hain bajaa kar rahe hain
ye jo ho rahaa hai bajaa ho rahaa hai

apni khu-e-vafaa se Dartaa huun
aashiqi bandagi na ho jaae

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

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

hamein khabar hai ki ham hain charaagh-e-aakhir-e-shab
hamaare baa'd andheraa nahin ujaalaa hai

kaanTon mein qaid phuul se girne se peshtar
shabnam kaa qatra der talak kaanptaa rahaa
