Mere MiTane Ki Tadbir Thi Hijab Na Tha

mere miTane ki tadbir thi hijab na tha

wagarna kaun se din husn be-naqab na tha

agarche nazkash-e-esaghar-e-sharab na tha

KHumar-KHane mein mujh sa koi KHarab na tha

khula tilism-e-tamanna to khul gaya ye bhi

ki ek fareb-e-nazar tha tera shabab na tha

KHayal-e-dost teri jalwa-tabiyon ki qasam

jo tu na tha meri duniya mein aaftab na tha

tere firaq ki raaten thin is qadar maghmum

ki dagh-e-KHatir-e-mahzun tha mahtab na tha

bura ho nala-e-paiham ka kuchh dinon pahle

KHamosh raat ke dil mein ye pech-o-tab na tha

nigah milte hi ghash kha ke gir paDin nazren

thi ek barq-e-mushakkal tera shabab na tha

azal ke din se hain hum mast-e-jalwa-e-saqi

hamare samne kis roz aaftab na tha

kuchh apne saz-e-nafas ki na qadr ki tu ne

ki is rabab se behtar koi rabab na tha

dil-e-KHarab ka 'ehsan' ab KHuda-hafiz

KHarab tha magar aisa kabhi KHarab na tha
