Khile jo phul to munh chhip gayaa sitaaro kaa
Misaal-e-abr chalaa kaarawaan bahaaro kaa
Na mujhase puch shab-e-hijr dil pe kyaa guzari
Ye dekh haal hai kyaa mere gam-gusaaro kaa
Na_i bahaar liye ik nayaa chaman khil jaaye
Samajh sake ko_i matalab agar ishaaro kaa
Shab-e-siyaah ke lamhe guzaar lene do
Ghadi ghadi na karo zikr maah-paaro kaa
Hu_aa na raah me ghaayal ko_i shagufaa bhi
Ravaan ravaan hi ragaa qaafilaa bahaaro kaa
not part of this ghazal
Aaj un raasto par tanhaa_i ki dhul udati hai
Jo tere naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa se sajaa karate the
Mujhe bhi ahal-e-jahaan bhul jaayege ‘shahazaad’
Kise khayaal hai dube huye sitaaro kaa
