december ki shab-e-aakhir na puchho kis tarah guzri — Unknown

meri taqdir mein manzil nahin hai
ghubaar-e-kaarvaan hai aur main huun

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

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

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

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

'ghaalib' chhuTi sharaab par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
piitaa huun roz-e-abr o shab-e-maahtaab mein

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

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