din lage hain ye raat ko meri — Kishan Kumaar Waqaar

aatishin husn kyuun dikhaate ho
dil hai aashiq kaa koh-e-tur nahin

ukhDi baaton se us ki saabit hai
kuchh na kuchh aaj ghair jaD ke uThaa

tumhaare ishq-e-abru mein hilaal-e-id ki surat
hazaaron ungliyaan uTThin jidhar se ho ke ham nikle

ashk-e-hasrat hai aaj tufaan-khez
kashti-e-chashm ki tabaahi hai

chhuptaa nahin hai dil mein kabhi raaz ishq kaa
ye aag vo hai jis ko nahin taab sang mein

haath pistaan pe ghair kaa pahunchaa
aap bhi ab hue anaar-farosh

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

khairaat mein de aayaa huun jiiti hui baazi
duniyaa ye samajhti hai ki main haar gayaa huun

meri nigaah-e-shauq bhi kuchh kam nahin magar
phir bhi tiraa shabaab tiraa hi shabaab hai

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage
