sun qataar andar qataar ashjaar ki sargoshiyaan — Hammad Niyazi

kachchi qabron par saji khushbu ki bikhri laash par
khaamushi ne ik nae andaaz mein taqrir ki

haar diyaa hai ujlat mein
khud ko kis aasaani se

main apne baap ke siine se phuul chuntaa huun
so jab bhi saans thami baagh mein Tahal aayaa

dikhaai dene lagi thi khushbu
main phuul aankhon pe mal rahaa thaa

vo peD jis ki chhaanv mein kaTi thi umr gaanv mein
main chuum chuum thak gayaa magar ye dil bharaa nahin

bas ek lamha tire vasl kaa mayassar ho
aur us visaal ke lamhe ko daaimi kiyaa jaae

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

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

raat ke vaqt ubhartaa hai junun kaa suraj
din nikalte hi kisi chaand mein Dhal jaataa hai

shikasta-dil andheri shab akelaa raahbar kyuun ho
na ho jab ham-safar koi to apnaa bhi safar kyuun ho
