naachti hai jab tu apne dilrubaa andaaz se — Kashfi Multani

thak thak ke tiri raah mein yuun baiTh gayaa huun
goyaa ki bas ab mujh se safar ho nahin saktaa

aab-e-haivaan ko mai se kyaa nisbat
paani paani hai aur sharaab sharaab

zamaana aayaa kuchh aisaa ki ab to har ghar mein
laTak rahi hai masarrat nazir ki tasvir

ik 'muzaffar'-gaDhi ke haathon se kaar-naama huaa hai laa-saani
jis ki takhliq naghma-e-sahraa naam 'kashfi' ba-urf 'multaani'

teri aankhein hain ki aahu-e-khutan ki aankhein
mahv-e-hairat thiin javaanaan-e-chaman ki aankhein

'kashfi' ko koi puchhne aae to dosto
kahnaa ki chand sher sunaa kar chale gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

phir is ke baa'd patthar ho gayaa aaankhon kaa paani
jab apne gham mein rone se kiyaa inkaar main ne

bas us ki pahchaan yahi hai
aankh mein aansu bharne vaalaa
