jise kal raat bhar puujaa gayaa thaa — Faisal Azeem

yahi to e'tibaar-e-shab-kada hai
miraa haasil hai ye kaar-e-ziyaan ishq

abhi tak sirf aavaazein suni hain
abhi tak likh rahi hain ungliyaan ishq

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

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

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

shoalon se be-kaar Daraate ho ham ko
guzre hain ham sard jahannam-zaaron se

vo khvaab jis pe tira-shabi kaa gumaan thaa
vo khvaab aaftaab ki taabir ho gayaa
