hijr ki shab haath mein le kar charaagh-e-maahtaab — Rind Lakhnavi

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

ham jo kahte hain saraasar hai ghalat
sab bajaa aap jo farmaaiyegaa

kaafir huun na phunkun jo tire kaabe mein ai shaikh
naaqus baghal mein hai musallaa na samajhnaa

mai pilaa aisi ki saaqi na rahe hosh mujhe
ek saaghar se do aalam hon faraamosh mujhe

mai-kash huun vo ki puchhtaa huun uTh ke hashr mein
kyuun ji sharaab ki hain dukaanein yahaan kahin

maut aa jaae qaid mein sayyaad
aarzu ho agar rihaai ki

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

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

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

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

divaangi meri ke tahayyur mein shab-o-roz
hai halqa-e-zanjir se zindaan hama-tan-chashm

kab tak paDe rahoge havaaon ke haath mein
kab tak chalegaa khokhle shabdon kaa kaarobaar
