sharaab piite hain to jaagte hain saari raat — Aagha Akbarabadi

barq o simaab kaa 'aaghaa' na rahe naam-o-nishaan
dil ki betaabi se ik baar jo muztar main huun

haath donon miri gardan mein hamaail kiije
aur ghairon ko dikhaa diije anguThaa apnaa

tavaaf-e-kaaba ko kyaa jaaein haj nahin vaajib
kalaal-khaane ke kuchh din-daar ham bhi hain

do-shaala shaal kashmiri amiron ko mubaarak ho
galim-e-kohna mein jaaDaa faqiron kaa basar hogaa

vaada-e-baada-e-athar kaa bharosa kab tak
chal ke bhaTTi pe piyein jura-e-irfaan kaisaa

hamein to un ki mohabbat hai koi kuchh samjhe
hamaare saath mohabbat unhein nahin to nahin

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

kahun ai zauq kyaa haal-e-shab-e-hijr
ki thi ik ik ghaDi sau sau mahine

us ko aanaa thaa ki vo mujh ko bulaataa thaa kahin
raat bhar baarish thi us kaa raat bhar paighaam thaa

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar
meri miTTi mein gundhi hai raat bhi

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti
