tire badan ki mahak ko gulaab se tashbih — Maroof Raebarelvi

hamaare munh pe uDaataa huaa vo dhuul gayaa
hamin ne chalnaa sikhaayaa hamin ko bhuul gayaa

main pur-umid rahaa maarka koi bhi rahaa
magar ye raat ki jis ki koi sahar hi nahin

yaqin maanav ki urdu jo bol saktaa hai
vo pattharon kaa jigar bhi TaTol saktaa hai

asar duaaon mein hotaa hai kis qadar 'maaruf'
balaaein dekhi hain ham ne saron se Talte hue

vaqt jab aaya to sab daave zabaani nikle
yaar samjhe the jinhein dushman-e-jaani nikle

aap aur kuchh ghalat kahin tauba
jo ye kah de gunaahgaar hai vo

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

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

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri

aaj bahut din baa'd main apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa
juun hi darvaaza kholaa hai us ki khushbu aai hai
