vasl ki raat ham-nashin kyunki kaTi na puchh kuchh — Shah Naseer

tire hi naam ki simran hai mujh ko aur tasbih
tu hi hai vird har ik subh-o-shaam aashiq kaa

gale mein tu ne vahaan motiyon kaa pahnaa haar
yahaan pe ashk-e-musalsal gale kaa haar rahaa

aataa hai to aa vaada-faraamosh vagarna
har roz kaa ye lait-o-laal jaae to achchhaa

mere naale ke na kyuun ho charkh-e-akhzar zer-e-paa
khutba khvaan-e-ishq hai rakhtaa hai mimbar zer-e-paa

mushkil hai rok aah-e-dil-e-daaghdaar ki
kahte hain sau sunaar ki aur ik luhaar ki

puchhne vaalon ko kyaa kahiye ki dhoke mein nahin
kufr o islaam haqiqat mein hain yaksaan ham ko

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

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

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

ye raat yunhi basar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
tire baghair sahar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
