Shab-e-Bahaar

 

Mausame-e-Gul Ki Mehekti Khoobsarat Raat Mein

Maah-o-Anjum the Darakshan Daaman-e-Aflak Mein

Raag Chedaa the Hawa ne Barg-o-Gul ke Saaz Mein

Shaakho-o-Patte Jhoomte The Dilnasheen Andaaz Mein 

Noor Afshaan tha Fizaa mein,  Jugnoon ka Qaafilaa

Dhoondta thaa Apni Mazil, Raat ke Zulmaat Mein

The Patinge Raqs-e- Paiham, Noor ki Aaghosh Mein

Tairaan-e-Khush-Nawa Madhosh the Baghaat Mein 

Ja-ba-Ja Thii Raushani, Raunaq thi Kuu-o-kaakh mein

Shor thaa Sadkon pe Baaqi, Bhiid thii Bazaar Mein

Mehfilein Sajne lagi thiin Baadah-Khaaron ke Sabab

Zaahid-o-Aabid Mehav the  Zikr-o-Istighfaar   Mein

Laut Aaye The Musaafir,  Daftaron Se Daar Mein

Saare Chehre Khil Uthe the, Khaana-e-Afraad Mein  

The Parishaan Ahl-e-Irfaan, Kal ki Fikr-o-Amal Mein 

The Qalandar Mast Saare, Apne  Haal-o-Qaal Mein 

The Sukhanvar Munhamiik Ashaar ki Tasniif Mein

Chun Rehe the Rang, Khushboo Raat ki Jaagiir Mein

Kar Rehaa tha ek Musawwar Ahde-e-Nau ka Haal Naqsh

Thii Numyana  Saari  Uljhan  Dhundlii Tasweer Mein

Shab ki Bekal Chandni mein, Main bhi tha Mahv-e-Khiraam

Khush Kalaami  Ho Rehii Thii doston ke Sang Mein 

Mulko-o-Millat ki Kahani, Shikwa Mausam ka bhi Tha 

Thi Sabhi Baatein Zamaan ki,  Shiirnii Guftaar Mein
