Qateel Shifai
halat ki bhigi raat bhi hai jazbat ka tez alaav bhi
main kaun si aag men jal jaun ai nukta-varo samjhao bhi
har-chand nazar ne jhele hain har baar sunahre ghaav bhi
ham aaj bhi dhoka kha lenge tum bhes badal kar aao bhi
girdab ke khunin halqon se jab khel chuki hai naav bhi
patvar badalna kya maani? mallahon ko samjhao bhi
be-kaif jhakole kanton ko shadab to kya kar paenge
jo phuul pade hain rahon men un phulon ko mahkao bhi
ham se to jafaon ke shikve tum hans kar chhin bhi sakte ho
ham dil ko pasheman kar lenge tum pyaar se aankh jhukao bhi
gul-rang charaghon ki lau se tarik ujale phuut bahe
har taaq men ghor andhera hai is rang-mahal ko dhaao bhi
