aaine se nazar churaate hain — Ameer Qazalbash

sukut-e-shab mein dar-e-dil pe ek dastak thi
bikhar gai tiri yaadon ki kahkashaan mujh se

honaa paDaa hai khugar-e-gham bhi khushi ki khair
vo mujh pe mehrbaan hain magar be-rukhi ke saath

apne hamraah khud chalaa karnaa
kaun aaegaa mat rukaa karnaa

muztarib hain maujein kyuun uTh rahe hain tufaan kyuun
kyaa kisi safine ko aarzu-e-saahil hai

giraa diyaa hai to saahil pe intizaar na kar
agar vo Duub gayaa hai to duur niklegaa

main ne kyuun tark-e-taalluq ki jasaarat ki hai
tum agar ghaur karoge to pashimaan hoge

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

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

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

main roz-o-shab kaa tasavvur badalnaa chaahtaa huun
lagi hui hai miri khvaab bunne vaalon se
