giregi kal bhi yahi dhuup aur yahi shabnam — Hakeem Manzoor

teri aankhon mein aansu bhi dekhe hain
tere haathon mein dekhaa hai khanjar bhi

reza reza raat bhar jo khauf se hotaa rahaa
din ko saanson par abhi tak bojh us patthar kaa hai

dekhte hain dar-o-divaar harifaana mujhe
itnaa be-bas bhi kahaan hogaa koi ghar mein kabhi

shahr ke aaiin mein ye mad bhi likkhi jaaegi
zinda rahnaa hai to qaatil ki sifaarish chaahiye

agarche us ki har ik baat khurduri hai bahut
mujhe pasand hai Dhang us ke baat karne kaa

ham kisi bahrupiye ko jaan lein mushkil nahin
us ko kyaa pahchaaniye jis kaa koi chehraa na ho

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

shab kitni bojhal bojhal hai ham tanhaa tanhaa baiThe hain
aise mein tumhaari yaad aai jis tarah koi ilhaam aae
