Ratjagay hoN K bhar poor neeNdein musalsal use dekhna

[.]

Ratjagay hoN K bhar poor neeNdein musalsal use dekhna
Wo jo aNkhoN mein hai aur aaNkhon se ojhal use dekhna

Is kaRi dhoop mein dil tapakte hain aur baam par woh nahi
Kal naye mausamoN mein jab aayeNge baadal use dekha

Wo jo khushbu bhi hai aur jugnu bhi hai aur aaNsu bhi hai
Jab hawa gunguaanyegi, naache ga jangal use dekhna

Jo hawaoN mein hai aur fezaoN mein hai aur duaoN mein hai
Koi phailaaye daaman, K lahraaye aaNchal use dekhna

Shairi mein bhi us jaan-e-jaaN ka saraapa samaata nahi
Aur aaNkhoN ki dereena khaahish!! mukammal use dekhna

Yeh bhi kya sochnaa hai K har waqt naadaaN use sochna
Yeh bhi kya dekhna hai K har samt paagal use dekhna

Shaam-e-wada sahi, dukh zeyada sahi, phir bhi dekho ‘Faraz’
Aaj shab uski furqat mein kah lo ghazal, kal use dekhna

(Ahmad Faraz)
