Ehsas Ki Raat

mujhe Dar hai ki kahin sard na ho jae ye ehsas ki raat

narghe tufan-e-hawadis ke hawas ki yalghaar

ye dhamake ye bagule sar-e-rah

jism ka jaan ka paiman-e-wafa kya hoga

tera kya hoga mere tar-e-nafas

tera kya hoga ai mizrab-e-junun

ye dahakte hue ruKHsar

ye mahakte hue lab

ye dhaDakta hua dil

shafaq-e-zist ki peshani ka rangin qashqa

kya hoga

uD na jae kahin ye rang-e-jabin

miT na jae kahin ye naqsh-e-wafa

chup na ho jae ye bajta hua saz

shamen ab kaun jalaega sar-e-sham guzargahon mein

dahr mein lutf-o-ata kuchh bhi nahin

dahr mein mehr-o-wafa kuchh bhi nahin

sajda kuchh bhi nahin naqsh-e-pa kuchh bhi nahin

mere dil aur dhaDak

shaKH-e-gul

aur mahak aur mahak aur mahak
