Shab-e-mah Mein Jo Palang Par Mere Sath Soe To Kya Hue

shab-e-mah mein jo palang par mere sath soe to kya hue

kabhi lipTe ban ke wo chandni kabhi chand ban ke juda hue

hue waqt-e-aKHiri mehrban dam-e-awwalin jo KHafa hue

wo abad mein aa ke gale mile jo azal mein hum se juda hue

ye ilahi kaisa ghazab hua wo samae mujh mein to kya hue

mera dil bane to taDap gae mera sar bane to juda hue

chale sath sath qadam qadam koi ye na samjha ki hain baham

kabhi dhup ban ke lipaT gae kabhi saya ban ke juda hue

abhi hain zamane se be-KHabar rakha hath rakkhe ye lash par

uTho bas uTho kaha man lo meri kya KHata jo KHafa hue

hain ajib murgh-e-shikasta-par na chaman mein ghar na qafas mein ghar

jo gire to saya hain KHak par jo uThe to mauj-e-hawa hue

wo araq araq hue jis ghaDi mujhe umr-e-KHizr ata hui

shab-e-wasl qatre pasine ke mere haq mein aab-e-baqa hue

kabhi shakl-e-aina ru-ba-ru kabhi tuti aur kabhi guftugu

kabhi shaKHs ban ke gale mile kabhi aks ban ke juda hue

na tajalliyan hain na garmiyan na shararten hain na phurtiyan

hama-tan the din ko to shoKHiyan hama-tan wo shab ko haya hue

mere nale hain ki azal abad tere ishwe hain ki lab-e-masih

wahan kun ka ghalghala wo bane yahan qum ki ye jo sada hue

gire zat mein to hai jumla-ust uThe jab sifat mein hama-az-dast

kaha kaun ho to mile rahe kaha nam kya to juda hue

kiye us ne bazm mein shoabde mali mehndi hath pe shama ke

jo patange raat ko jal gae wo tamam murgh-e-hina hue

mere dil ke dekho to walwale ki har ek rang mein ja mili

jo ghaTe to un ka dahan bane jo baDhe to arz-o-sama hue

wahi farsh-o-arsh-nashin rahe hue nam alag jo kahin rahe

gae dair mein to sanam bane gae la-makan to KHuda hue

jo tasawwur un ka juda hua dil be-KHabar ne ye di sada

abhi ham-baghal the kidhar gae abhi god mein the wo kya hue

kabhi sozishen kabhi aafaten kabhi ranjishen kabhi rahaten

milin chaar hum ko ye neamaten tere ishq mein jo fana hue

hamein shauq ye ki ho ek taur use zauq ye ki ho shakl aur

bane aag to bujhe aab mein mile KHak mein to hawa hue

gae sar se jabki wo ta-kamar to alif idhar ka hua udhar

tera joDa khulte hi baal sab pas-e-pusht aa ke bala hue

koi dab gaya koi mar gaya koi pis gaya koi miT gaya

tere ishwe se jab se falak bane tere ghamze jab se qaza hue

mujhe gudgudi se ghash aa gaya to hila ke shana yahi kaha

abhi hanste the abhi mar gae abhi kya the tum abhi kya hue

kaho kafiron se karen KHushi ki ye masala hai tanasuKHi

mere nale KHak mein jab mile to subu ke dast-e-dua hue

pas-e-wasl hum jo sarak gae to wo khilkhila ke phaDak gae

kaha shoKHiyon ne chalo haTo ki huzur tum se KHafa hue

tumhein log kahte hain naujawan ki ho bis tis ke darmiyan

kaho mujh se 'mail'-e-KHush-bayan wo tumhaare walwale kya hue
