shaam ke saae baalishton se naape hain — Gulzar

aap ne auron se kahaa sab kuchh
ham se bhi kuchh kabhi kahin kahte

aaina dekh kar tasalli hui
ham ko is ghar mein jaantaa hai koi

shaam se aankh mein nami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai

aadatan tum ne kar diye vaade
aadatan ham ne e'tibaar kiyaa

aap ke baa'd har ghaDi ham ne
aap ke saath hi guzaari hai

kabhi to chaunk ke dekhe koi hamaari taraf
kisi ki aankh mein ham ko bhi intizaar dikhe

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ghazal mein jab talak ehsaas ki shiddat na ho shaamil
faqat alfaaz ki kaarigari mahsus hoti hai

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

shaam aae aur ghar ke liye dil machal uThe
shaam aae aur dil ke liye koi ghar na ho

kabhi to shaam Dhale apne ghar gae hote
kisi ki aankh mein rah kar sanvar gae hote

jis jaa makin banne ke dekhe the main ne khvaab
us ghar mein ek shaam ki mehmaan bhi na thi
