har shab shab-e-baraat hai har roz roz-e-id — Haidar Ali Aatish

ye aarzu thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte
ham aur bulbul-e-betaab guftugu karte

uTh gai hain saamne se kaisi kaisi suratein
roiye kis ke liye kis kis kaa maatam kijiye

ajab teri hai ai mahbub surat
nazar se gir gae sab khubsurat

us gul-badan ki bu-e-badan kuchh na puchhiye
band-e-qabaa jo khol diye ghar mahak gayaa

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

main us gulshan kaa bulbul huun bahaar aane nahin paati
ki sayyaad aan kar meraa gulistaan mol lete hain

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

siyaah raat ke pahlu mein jism ke andar
kisi gunaah ki khvaahish ko paalte rahnaa

zindagi bhar mujhe is baat ki hasrat hi rahi
din guzaarun to koi raat suhaani aae

hamein khabar hai vo mehmaan ek raat kaa hai
hamaare paas bhi saamaan ek raat kaa hai
