kucha-e-zulf mein phirtaa huun bhaTaktaa kab kaa — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

yuun hai Dalak badan ki us pairahan ki tah mein
surkhi badan ki jaise chhalke badan ki tah mein

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

jangal mein Tesu phulaa aur baagh mein shagufa
fasl-e-bahaar aai mausam gayaa khizaan kaa

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

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

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti

ghubaar-e-shahr mein use na DhunD jo khizaan ki shab
havaa ki raah se milaa, havaa ki raah par gayaa

divaangi meri ke tahayyur mein shab-o-roz
hai halqa-e-zanjir se zindaan hama-tan-chashm
