raat us ko bhi kuchh faraaghat thi — Dilshad Naseem

saamne aap jab bhi aate hain
bhuul jaati huun laazmi baatein

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

vo hamaari samt apnaa rukh badaltaa kyuun nahin
raat to guzri magar suraj nikaltaa kyuun nahin

rang aa jaate muTThi mein jugnu ban kar
khushbu kaa paikar hotaa to achchhaa thaa

main ne bachpan ki khushbu-e-naazuk
ek titli ke sang uDaai thi
