raat ki baat kaa mazkur hi kyaa — Chiragh Hasan Hasrat

aao husn-e-yaar ki baatein karein
zulf ki rukhsaar ki baatein karein

ghairon se kahaa tum ne ghairon se sunaa tum ne
kuchh ham se kahaa hotaa kuchh ham se sunaa hotaa

ik ishq kaa gham aafat aur us pe ye dil aafat
yaa gham na diyaa hotaa yaa dil na diyaa hotaa

ummid to bandh jaati taskin to ho jaati
vaada na vafaa karte vaada to kiyaa hotaa

qubul is baargah mein iltijaa koi nahin hoti
ilaahi yaa mujhi ko iltijaa karnaa nahin aataa

yaa-rab gham-e-hijraan mein itnaa to kiyaa hotaa
jo haath jigar par hai vo dast-e-duaa hotaa

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

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa 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

jitnaa ki hai ifraat tiri kam-nigahi kaa
utnaa hi idhar dekho to ye dida-e-nam hai
