tere naam kaa taaraa jaane kab dikhaai de — Bashir Saifi

gunjungaa tere zehn ke gumbad mein raat-din
jis ko na tu bhulaa sake vo guftugu huun main

khud apni hi gahraai mein
aakhir ko gharqaab hue ham

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

aaine mein kahin gum ho gai surat meri
mujh se milti hi nahin shakl-o-shabaahat meri

kuchh tu hi bataa aakhir kyun-kar tire bandon par
har shab hai nai aafat har roz musibat hai

us se hi to chalte hain kaarobaar gulshan ke
vo hi raat-raani hai vo hi gul-hazaara hai
