Raat Bhi Nind Bhi Kahani Bhi

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

hae kya chiz hai jawani bhi

ek paigham-e-zindagani bhi

aashiqi marg-e-na-gahani bhi

is ada ka teri jawab nahin

mehrbani bhi sargirani bhi

dil ko apne bhi gham the duniya mein

kuchh balaen thin aasmani bhi

mansab-e-dil KHushi luTana hai

gham-e-pinhan ki pasbani bhi

dil ko shoalon se karti hai sairab

zindagi aag bhi hai pani bhi

shad-kaamon ko ye nahin taufiq

dil-e-gham-ghin ki shadmani bhi

lakh husn-e-yaqin se baDh kar hai

un nigahon ki bad-gumani bhi

tangna-e-dil-e-malul mein hai

bahr-e-hasti ki be-karani bhi

ishq-e-nakaam ki hai parchhain

shadmani bhi kaamrani bhi

dekh dil ke nigar-KHane mein

zaKHm-e-pinhan ki hai nishani bhi

KHalq kya kya mujhe nahin kahti

kuchh sunun main teri zabani bhi

aae tariKH-e-ishq mein sau bar

maut ke daur-e-darmiyani bhi

apni masumiyat ke parde mein

ho gai wo nazar siyani bhi

din ko suraj-mukhi hai wo nau-gul

raat ko hai wo raat-rani bhi

dil-e-bad-nam tere bare mein

log kahte hain ek kahani bhi

waza karte koi nai duniya

ki ye duniya hui purani bhi

dil ko aadab-e-bandagi bhi na aae

kar gae log hukmarani bhi

jaur-e-kam-kam ka shukriya bas hai

aap ki itni mehrbani bhi

dil mein ek huk bhi uThi ai dost

yaad aai teri jawani bhi

sar se pa tak supurdagi ki ada

ek andaz-e-turkamani bhi

pas rahna kisi ka raat ki raat

mehmani bhi mezbani bhi

ho na aks-e-jabin-e-naz ki hai

dil mein ek nur-e-kahkashani bhi

zindagi ain did-e-yar 'firaq'

zindagi hijr ki kahani bhi
