khushbuon kaa nuzul hotaa thaa — Waseem Haidar

qaid kartaa huun hasratein dil mein
phir inhein khud-kushi sikhaataa huun

tujh ko ho mere lams ki khvaahish shadid-tar
tujh se tamaam 'umr miraa saamnaa na ho

suntaa rahtaa huun to vo kuchh bhi kahe jaataa hai
us ko lagtaa hai ki me'yaar yahi hai apnaa

havas na puuri hui jab kahin to 'ilm huaa
tire badan kaa rahaa mujh ko aasraa baDi der

ab vo achchhaa mujhe pasand nahin
jo buraa bhi qubul hotaa thaa

mire khamir pe saari hi sarf ho gai thi
phir us ke baa'd udaasi nai banaai gai

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

ye sar-ba-mohr botalein hain jo sharaab ki
raatein hain un mein band hamaari shabaab ki
