Raat

The Night

Kyun Meri Chandni Mein Phirta Hai Tu Preshan

Khamosh Soorat-e-Gul, Manind-e-Bu Preshan

Taron Ke Moutiyon Ka Shaid Hai Jouhari Tu

Machli Hai Koi Mere Darya-e-Noor Ki Tu

Ya Tu Meri Jabeen Ka Tara Gira Huwa Hai

Riffat Ko Chor Kar Jo Pasti Mein Ja Basa Hai

Khamosh Ho Gya Hai Tar-e-Rabab–E-Hasti

Hai Mere Aaeene Mein Tasveer-e-Khawab-e-Hasti

Darya Ki Teh Mein Chashm-e-Gard Ab So Gyi Hai

Sahil Se Lag Ke Mouj-e-Betaab So Gyi Hai

Basti Zameen Ki Kaisi Hangama Afreen Hai

Yun So Gyi Hai Jaise Abad Hi Nahin Hai

Shayar Ka Dil Hai Lekin Na-Ashna Sukoon Se

Azad Reh Gya Tu Kyunkar Mere Fusoon Se

Shayar

The Poet

Main Tere Chand Ki Khaiti Mein Guhar Bota Hun

Chup Ke Insanon Se Manind-e-Sehar Rota Hun

Din Ki Sourish Mein Niklte Huwe Ghabrate Hain

Uzlat-e-Shab Mein Mere Ashk Tapak Jate Hain

Mujh Mein Faryad Jo Pinhan Hai, Sunaon Kis Ko

Tapish-e-Shauq Ka Nazzara Dikhaon Kis Ko

Barq-e-Aeman Mere Seene Pe Pari Roti Hai

Dekhne Wali Hai Jo Ankh, Kahan Soti Hai!

Sift-e-Shama-e-Lehd Murda Hai Mehfil Meri

Ah, Ae Raat! Bari Door Hai Manzil Meri

Ehd-e-Hazir Ki Hawa Raas Nahin Hai Iss Ko

Apne Nuksan Ka Ehsas Nahin Hai Iss Ko

Zabt-e-Pegham-e-Mohabbat Se Ghabrata Hun

Tere Tabindah Sitaron Ko Suna Jata Hun
