ab aap ki marzi hai sambhaalein na sambhaalein — Munawwar Rana

miTTi kaa badan kar diyaa miTTi ke havaale
miTTi ko kahin taaj-mahal mein nahin rakkhaa

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

kuchh nahin hogaa to aanchal mein chhupaa legi mujhe
maan kabhi sar pe khuli chhat nahin rahne degi

kuchh bikhri hui yaadon ke qisse bhi bahut the
kuchh us ne bhi baalon ko khulaa chhoD diyaa thaa

jab bhi kashti miri sailaab mein aa jaati hai
maan duaa karti hui khvaab mein aa jaati hai

ye soch ke maan baap ki khidmat mein lagaa huun
is peD kaa saayaa mire bachchon ko milegaa

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

ab bhi barsaat ki raaton mein badan TuTtaa hai
jaag uThti hain ajab khvaahishein angDaai ki

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

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

kahun ai zauq kyaa haal-e-shab-e-hijr
ki thi ik ik ghaDi sau sau mahine

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
