Shab-e-furqat Mein Yar-e-jaani Ki

shab-e-furqat mein yar-e-jaani ki

dard-e-pahlu ne mehrbani ki

munh dikhao bahut rahi takrar

arini aur lan-tarani ki

jis ko kahte hain chaudhwin ka chand

teri taswir hai jawani ki

kamar-e-yar ho gai ghaeb

sun ke dhum apni na-tawani ki

surat-e-haal par hamare mohr

dagh ne zaKHm ne nishani ki

sair-e-neamat se do jahan ki kya

de ke shabnam ko bund pani ki

ho gaya ishq husn se nagah

puchhte kya ho na-gahani ki

dil-birishta hua jo misl-e-kabab

main ne turkon ki mehmani ki

lab-e-jaan-baKHsh ke qarib wo KHat

sharh hai matn-e-zindagani ki

gosh-zad hote hi hui dushman

nind teri meri kahani ki

khinchte us ghazal ki surat

chaukDi bhulti hai 'mani' ki

mujh ko biThla ke yar sota hai

aashiqi ki ki pasbani ki

rah gaya shauq-e-manzil-e-maqsud

pa-e-KHufta ne sargirani ki

misl-e-shabnam hun saf-dil qane

mujh ko dariya hai bund pani ki

barq chamki to sarfaraaz kiya

abr aaya to mehrbani ki

rahat-e-marg ko na puchh 'atish'

na rahi qadr zindagani ki
