shab-e-visaal lagaayaa jo un ko siine se — Hafeez Jaunpuri

is ko samjho na khatt-e-nafs 'hafiz'
aur hi kuchh hai shaaeri se gharaz

jo divaanon ne paimaaish ki hai maidaan-e-qayaamat ki
faqat do gaz zamin Thahri vo mere dasht-e-vahshat ki

o aankh badal ke jaane vaale
kuchh dhyaan kisi ki aajizi kaa

pari thi koi chhalaavaa thi yaa javaani thi
kahaan ye ho gai champat jhalak dikhaa ke mujhe

kabhi masjid mein jo vaaiz kaa bayaan suntaa huun
yaad aati hai mujhe pir-e-kharaabaat ki baat

bahut duur to kuchh nahin ghar miraa
chale aao ik din Tahalte hue

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

ghubaar-e-shahr mein use na DhunD jo khizaan ki shab
havaa ki raah se milaa, havaa ki raah par gayaa

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
