hoti hi nahin subh-e-qayaamat bhi numudaar — Tabish Dehlvi

abhi hain qurb ke kuchh aur marhale baaqi
ki tujh ko paa ke hamein phir tiri tamannaa hai

shaahon ki bandagi mein sar bhi nahin jhukaayaa
tere liye saraapaa aadaab ho gae ham

zarre mein gum hazaar sahraa
qatre mein muhit laakh qulzum

har raaste se manzil-e-hasti hai bahut duur
jaaegaa mire saath gham-e-yaar kahaan tak

chhoTi paDti hai anaa ki chaadar
paanv Dhaktaa huun to sar khultaa hai

aaina jab bhi ru-ba-ru aayaa
apnaa chehra chhupaa liyaa ham ne

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

us se hi to chalte hain kaarobaar gulshan ke
vo hi raat-raani hai vo hi gul-hazaara hai

ham kis ko dikhaate shab-e-furqat ki udaasi
sab khvaab mein the raat ko bedaar hamin the

aur bhi kitne tariqe hain bayaan-e-gham ke
muskuraati hui aankhon ko to pur-nam na karo
