chaandni raaton mein chillaataa phiraa — Rind Lakhnavi

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

ham jo kahte hain saraasar hai ghalat
sab bajaa aap jo farmaaiyegaa

kaafir huun na phunkun jo tire kaabe mein ai shaikh
naaqus baghal mein hai musallaa na samajhnaa

mai pilaa aisi ki saaqi na rahe hosh mujhe
ek saaghar se do aalam hon faraamosh mujhe

mai-kash huun vo ki puchhtaa huun uTh ke hashr mein
kyuun ji sharaab ki hain dukaanein yahaan kahin

maut aa jaae qaid mein sayyaad
aarzu ho agar rihaai ki

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

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

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

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

huaa hai shah kaa musaahib phire hai itraataa
vagarna shahr mein 'ghaalib' ki aabru kyaa hai

ji DhunDtaa hai phir vahi fursat ki raat din
baiThe rahein tasavvur-e-jaanaan kiye hue
