tiraa shabaab rahe ham rahein sharaab rahe — Jaleel Manikpuri

uDaati hai vo tegh chaadar lahu ki
shahidon ko khilat ataa ho rahaa hai

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

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

bahut hasin raat hai magar tum to so rahe ho
nikal ke kamre se ik nazar chaandni to dekho

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai
