baat karne ki shab-e-vasl ijaazat de do — Bekhud Dehlvi

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa

huron se na hogi ye mudaaraat kisi ki
yaad aaegi jannat mein mulaaqaat kisi ki

raqibon ke liye achchhaa Thikaanaa ho gayaa paidaa
khudaa aabaad rakhe main to kahtaa huun jahannam ko

mohabbat aur majnun ham to saudaa is ko kahte hain
fidaa lailaa pe thaa aankhon kaa andhaa is ko kahte hain

bole vo muskuraa ke bahut iltijaa ke baad
ji to ye chaahtaa hai tiri maan jaaiye

paDhe jaao 'bekhud' ghazal par ghazal
vo but ban gae hain sune jaaeinge

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

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

tiri ru-numaai ki raat bhi main jahaan khaDaa thaa khaDaa rahaa
ki hujum-e-shahr ko chiir kar mujhe raasta nahin chaahiye
