ye ku-e-mai-farosh mein raulaa huaa ki raat — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

ham bhi ai jaan-e-man itne to nahin naakaara
kabhi kuchh kaam tu ham ko bhi to farmaayaa kar

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

apni to is chaman mein nit umr yunhi guzri
yaan aashiyaan banaayaa vaan aashiyaan banaayaa

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

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

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

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

chaman mein dekhte hi paD gai kuchh os ghunchon par
tire bustaan pe aalam hai ajab shabnam ke mahram kaa
