ghazal

Shab-e-hijr shama ki lo ko bhi , mai.N ne aah-e-gham se bujha diya
meri hamsafer the ye chandni, so isi se ghar ko saja diya

yehi raat moonis-e-hijr the, isi chand mai.N koi shakl the
teri yaad mai.N mujhe chaa.Nd ne mere dil dewana bana diya

kabhi dekhna tujhe roo baro, kabhi dho.Ndna tujhe ko bako
teri deed ki talab ne doost, mujhe aath aanso rula diya

kisi aag mai.N wo tapish nahi.N , jo he ishq mai.N wo khalish nahi.N
Tere wasl mai.N bhi na ho ga wo, tere hijr ne jo maza diya

nahin fikr ham ko jaha.N ki, nahi.N khoof ham ko muaash ka
hamai.N jis hunar ki talaash the, wo tawangri ne sikha diya
