nayyaa baandho nadi kinaare sakhi — Nasir Shahzad

dariyaa pe Tikri se pare khaanqaah thi
tab tere mere pyaar ki duniyaa gavaah thi

dekhaa qad-e-gunaah pe jab is ko multafit
baDh kar had-e-nigaah lagi us ko Dhaanpne

yaad aae tu mujh ko bahut jab shab kaTe jab pau phaTe
jab vaadiyon mein duur tak kohraa dikhe be-ant saa

khile dhaan khilkhilaa kar paDe naddiyon mein naake
ghani khushbuon se mahke mire des ke ilaaqe

hijraton mein huzuriyon ke jatan
paanv ko duriyon ne gheraa hai

ek kaaTaa raam ne siitaa ke saath
dusraa ban boss mere naam par

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

kahun ai zauq kyaa haal-e-shab-e-hijr
ki thi ik ik ghaDi sau sau mahine

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae
