aaj ki shab khvaab mein baatein hui hain jin se meri — Yashvardhan Mishra

dekh saktaa huun binaa chashme ke main
dost teri bevafaai saaf saaf

chaahiye thi aap ki tasvir so
khinch li tasvir main ne chaand ki

raushni bhi tirgi bhi saath hai yaa yuun kahein
zindagi khush hai magar khush bhi tavaaif ki tarah

daf'atan main Thiik ho saktaa huun chaaraagar mire
tu mujhe pahnaa de us ke naam kaa taa'viz gar

rakh liyaa thaa main ne roza jaan tumhaare naam kaa
tum ko dekhaa khvaab mein aur meri sehri ho gai

rang saare aa gae 'aariz pe mere
jab kahaa us ne mujhe holi mubaarak

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

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

nazar mein shokh shabihein liye hue hai sahar
abhi na koi idhar se dhuaan dhuaan guzre
