bujh gai shama kaTi raat gai sab mahfil — Shahzad Ahmad

zabaanein thak chukin patthar hue kaan
kahaani an-kahi thi an-kahi hai

— Shahzad Ahmad

shaayad isi baais huiin patthar miri aankhein
jo kuchh ki mujhe dekhnaa thaa dekh liyaa hai

— Shahzad Ahmad

khalq be-parvaa khudaa bandon se tang aayaa huaa
main akelaa phir rahaa huun hashr ke maidaan mein

— Shahzad Ahmad

ek se manzar dekh dekh kar aankhein dukhne lagti hain
is raste par peD bahut hain aur haraa koi bhi nahin

— Shahzad Ahmad

main sun rahaa huun magar dusron ko kaise sunaaun
jo giit gunjtaa rahtaa hai mere kaanon mein

— Shahzad Ahmad

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae

— Shahzad Ahmad

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

— Salman Akhtar

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

— Saifuddin Saif

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

shikva-e-zulmat-e-shab se to kahin behtar thaa
apne hisse ki koi shama jalaate jaate

— Ahmad Faraz

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

— Mirza Ghalib

shab ko aa kar vo phir gayaa haihaat
kyaa isi raat ham ko sonaa thaa
