suntaa huun un ki bazm mein chhalkeinge aaj jaam — Jaleel Manikpuri

aaj hai vo bahaar kaa mausam
phuul toDun to haath jaam aae

pyaari surat vo haae kyaa hogi
jis ko be-dekhe pyaar aataa hai

sote mein vo jo mujh se ham-aaghosh ho gae
jitne gile the khvaab-e-faraamosh ho gae

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

mohabbat ek taraf se mazaa nahin deti
kuchh iztiraab tujhe ho kuchh iztiraab mujhe

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

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

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

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

vo mere naam kare apni khushbuein irsaal
main us ke naam karun apni shaairi sochun

varaq varaq hain yahaan haadsaat-e-roz-o-shab
kitaab-e-zist main mansub ab karun kis se
