ye shabaab-e-husn ye husn-e-shabaab — Abdul Majeed Hairat

sub.h ye fikr ki ho jaa.e shaam
shaam ko ye ki sahar ho jaa.e

sach to ye hai ki nadaamat hi hui
raaz ki baat kisi se kah ke

koi khush ho ki khafaa ho 'hairat'
ham to har baat khari kahte hain

bahr-e-bimaar davaa hai na duaa
kyaa ise chaaragari kahte hain

'hairat' ke gham-kade mein khushi kaa guzar kahaan
aap aa gae to raunaq-e-kaashaana ho gai

ishq mein ain hunar-mandi hai
sab jise be-hunari kahte hain

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

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

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

ji DhunDtaa hai phir vahi fursat ki raat din
baiThe rahein tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue

shikva-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar thaa
apne hisse ki koi shama jalaate jaate

shab ko aa kar vo phir gayaa haihaat
kyaa isi raat ham ko sonaa thaa
