main tire husn ko raanaai-e-maani de duun — Abdul Ahad Saaz

bol the divaanon ke jin se hosh vaalon ne
soch ke dhundlakon mein apnaa raasta paayaa

laa se laa kaa safar thaa to phir kis liye
har kham-e-raah se jaan ulajhti rahi

nazar to aate hain kamron mein chalte-phirte magar
ye ghar ke log na jaane kahaan gae hue hain

shaaeri talab apni shaaeri ataa us ki
hausle se kam maangaa zarf se sivaa paayaa

muflisi bhuuk ko shahvat se milaa deti hai
gandumi lams mein hai zaaiqa-e-naan-e-javin

pas-manzar mein 'fēd' hue jaate hain insaani kirdaar
focus mein rafta rafta shaitaan ubhartaa aataa hai

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

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

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

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

aks-e-khushbu huun bikharne se na roke koi
aur bikhar jaaun to mujh ko na sameTe koi

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana
