sune jaate na the tum se mire din raat ke shikve — Fani Badayuni

na ibtidaa ki khabar hai na intihaa maalum
rahaa ye vahm ki ham hain so vo bhi kyaa maalum

apni jannat mujhe dikhlaa na sakaa tu vaaiz
kucha-e-yaar mein chal dekh le jannat meri

ham hain us ke khayaal ki tasvir
jis ki tasvir hai khayaal apnaa

rone ke bhi aadaab huaa karte hain 'faani'
ye us ki gali hai teraa gham-khaana nahin hai

mujh tak us mahfil mein phir jaam-e-sharaab aane ko hai
umr-e-rafta palTi aati hai shabaab aane ko hai

yaa-rab tiri rahmat se maayus nahin 'faani'
lekin tiri rahmat ki taakhir ko kyaa kahiye

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

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

aane vaali aa nahin chukti jaane vaali jaa bhi chuki
vaise to har jaane vaali raat thi aane vaali raat

dil par barf ki sil rakh denaa naagan ban kar Das lenaa
apne liye donon hi baraabar kaali ho ki ujaali raat

tufaan-e-bahr khaak Daraataa mujhe 'turaab'
us se baDaa bhanvar to safine ke biich thaa
