sahar kaa ujaalaa bhi maddham paDe — Abdullah Babar

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

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

biis baras se ik taare par man ki jot jagaataa huun
divaali ki raat ko tu bhi koi diyaa jalaayaa kar

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

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa
