muskuraate hain gaaliyaan sun kar — Betakalluf Shaajapuri

har ustaad shaair ke ghar mein mileinge
ye har day ye churan vaghaira vaghaira

har chiiz mere ghar ki aashiq hui hai tujh par
deti hai meri murghi anDe tiri gali mein

hain munne ki ammaa ki pakki saheli
shakuran ghafuran vaghaira vaghaira

chhupaa luun 'be-takalluf' main bhi kaTTe
saudi jaa ke phir chanda karun main

phuul jaate hain zaraa si baat par
kyaa chane ki daal jaise log hain

us ne chappal bhi chuum kar maari
ye bhi andaaz-e-dil-rubaai hai

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

kyaa baat hai nazron se andheraa nahin jaataa
kuchh baat na kar li ho shab-e-gham ne sahar se

kuchh khabar hai tujhe o chain se sone vaale
raat bhar kaun tiri yaad mein bedaar rahaa

jab chhuaa hogaa us ne phulon ko
hosh khushbu ke uD gae honge
