Raat Kitni Raushan Hai Kuchh Likha-paDhi Kar Len Aao Phir Ghazal Kah Len

raat kitni raushan hai kuchh likha-paDhi kar len aao phir ghazal kah len

chandni ke manzar mein do ghaDi zara dahken aao phir ghazal kah len

in andheri raaton ke KHaufnak sayon se bach ke subh tak ji len

zahr dhup ka chakh kar maut ko ziya baKHshen aao phir ghazal kah len

wo ki ek chehra hai ya kitab ya dariya ya koi samundar hai

nim-baz aankhon mein us ki jhank kar dekhen aao phir ghazal kah len

chandni ka ras pine dur tak nikal jaen bhul jaen duniya ko

khurduri si saDkon par der tak yunhi ghumen aao phir ghazal kah len

jaan-nashin se dushman tak sare rishte naton ko phenk den samundar mein

lahr lahr bedari ki hasin rida oDhen aao phir ghazal kah len

dardnak chehron par muskurahaTen oDhe KHud ko ja-ba-ja bechen

hum 'tapish' tumhein guzra waqt man kar sochen aao phir ghazal kah len
