shab-e-hijr thi aur main ro rahaa thaa — Jurat Qalandar Bakhsh

Thahri thi ghizaa apni jo gham ishq-e-butaan mein
so aah hamaari hamein khuraak ne khaayaa

khaae so pachhtaae aur pachhtaae vo bhi jo na khaae
ye gham-e-ishq-e-butaan laDDu hai goyaa bor kaa

puchho na kuchh sabab mire haal-e-tabaah kaa
ulfat kaa ye samar hai natija hai chaah kaa

ik bosa maangtaa huun main khairaat-e-husn ki
do maal ki zakaat ki daulat ziyaada ho

allaah-re bhulaapaa munh dho ke khud vo bole
sungho to ho gayaa ye paani gulaab kyunkar

shaagird-e-rashid aap saa huun shaikh-ji saahib
kuchh ilm o amal tum ne na shaitaan mein chhoDaa

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

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

ye shahr hai anjaan kahaan raat guzaarun
hai jaan-na-pahchaan kahaan raat guzaarun

raat ke lamhaat khuni daastaan likhte rahe
subh ke akhbaar mein haalaat behtar ho gae
