guzar jaaegi saari raat is mein — Humaira Rahat

bahut taakhir se paayaa hai khud ko
main apne sabr kaa phal ho gai huun

sunaa hai khvaab mukammal kabhi nahin hote
sunaa hai ishq khataa hai so kar ke dekhte hain

huzur aap koi faisla karein to sahi
hain sar jhuke hue darbaar bhi lagaa huaa hai

zikr sunti huun ujaale kaa bahut
us se kahnaa ki mire ghar aae

taalluq ki nai ik rasm ab ijaad karnaa hai
na us ko bhulnaa hai aur na us ko yaad karnaa hai

jahaan ik shakhs bhi miltaa nahin hai chaahne se
vahaan ye dil hatheli par zamaana chaahtaa hai

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

'ghaalib' chhuTi sharaab par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
piitaa huun roz-e-abr o shab-e-maahtaab mein

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

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
