din mein to kah rahi thi ki tum mere sher ho — Nashtar Amrohvi

durgat bane hai chaae mein biscuit ki jis tarah
shaadi ke baa'd logo vahi meraa haal hai

khaa kar ye haal ho gayaa hotel ki roTiyaan
jaise ki haDDiyon pe manDhi meri khaal hai

us ne thaane mein rapaT kuchh aisi likhvaai ki bas
phir police ne ki miri aisi paziraai ki bas

bachchon se munh ko moD ke begam to so gaiin
su-su har ik ko main ne karaayaa tamaam raat

vo motiyon se daant vo lambe siyaah baal
naqli thaa saaraa maal pata chal gayaa mujhe

do chaar manzilon hi pe saansein ukhaD gaiin
ghuTnon pe hai zavaal pata chal gayaa mujhe

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

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

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

aankhon mein shab utar gai khvaabon kaa silsila rahaa
main khud ko dekhtaa rahaa main khud ko sochtaa rahaa

khauf hai dhund bhari raat hai tanhaai hai
mere kamre mein abhi raat hai tanhaai hai
