vasl ki raat jo mahbub kahe good night — Dilawar Figar

is kaa kyaa hogaa ye jo unvaan aadhaa rah gayaa
ye bhi lete jaaein jo saamaan aadhaa rah gayaa

main bhi thaa haazir bazm mein jab tu ne dekhaa hi nahin
main bhi uThaa kar chal diyaa bilkul nayaa juutaa tiraa

pakDi gai radif to fauran ye kah diyaa
likhnaa kabhi thaa aur main yahaan likh gayaa abhi

ek achchhaa-khaasaa mard zanaane mein ghus paDaa
goyaa ki ek chor khazaane mein ghus paDaa

ek shaadi to Thiik hai lekin
ek do tiin chaar had kar di

kyaa bataaun mein tumhein is shahr kaa jughraafiya
bambai hai ik ghazal gaD-baD hai jis kaa qaafiya

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

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

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

khuli chhaton se chaandni raatein katraa jaaeingi
kuchh ham bhi tanhaai ke aadi ho jaaeinge

nai shamein jalaao aashiqi ki anjuman vaalo
ki suunaa hai shabistaan-e-dil-e-parvaana barson se
