Akhtar Shirani
us mah-jabin se aaj mulaqat ho gai
bedard asman ye kya baat ho gai
avargan-e-ishq ka maskan na puchhiye
pad rahte hain vahin pe jahan raat ho gai
zikr-e-shab-e-visal ho kya qissa mukhtasar
jis baat se vo darte the vo baat ho gai
masjid ko ham chale gae masti men bhuul kar
ham se khata ye pir-e-kharabat ho gai
pichhle ghamon ka zikr hi kya jab vo mil gae
ai asman talafi-e-mafat ho gai
zahid ko zindagi hi men kausar chakha diya
rindon se aaj ye bhi karamat ho gai
bechain rakhne vaale pareshan hon khud na kyuun
akhir ko teri zulf miri raat ho gai
jhula jhulaen chal ke hasinon ko baagh men
gujrat men suna hai ki barsat ho gai
kya faeda ab ‘akhtar’ agar parsa bane
jab saari umr nazr-e-kharabat ho gai
