is qadar badh gai wahshat tere diwane ki
tod ke phenk din sab khuddiyan pakhane ki

kosta aise hai mardud hamesha mujh ko
kabhi mangi na dua ghair ke mar jaane ki

khinch raha hai wo shab-e-wasl ka naqsha-e-dil mein
yaad hai hum ko adaen tere sharmane ki

jab se us shokh ki zulfon ka liya hai bosa
badh gai aur bhi wahshat dil-e-diwane ki

shaikh sahab ne to puchha tha pata masjid ka
rah rindon ne bata di use maikhane ki

aa gai ab to jawani hua bachpan rukhsat
kya zarurat hai shab-e-wasl mein ghabrane ki

khalwat-e-yar mein rahne ko jagah mil jae
na to kaba ki zarurat hai na but-khane ki

dal-roti ka bada fikr tha ye bhi chhuta
ho gai jab ki ye aadat hamein gham khane ki

kam-sini mein na agar ghair se ja kar milte
hum kabhi dekhte surat na shifa-khane ki

jhuti sachchi ki nahin fikr khushi to ye hai
un ko aadat hai mere sar ki qasam khane ki

dil mein aata hai ki dushman ke lagaun jute
le gaya sala sleeper meri das-ane ki

munh kiya raat ko kala jo zabardasti se
kya zarurat thi tumhein ghair ke ghar jaane ki

apne marne ki khabar yar ne jhuti bheji
khub tadbir nikali mere mar jaane ki

jab ye dekha ki nahate hain wo nange ho kar
khidkiyan tod din sab main ne ghusul-khane ki

donon thandak mein pade rahte hain baham lete
yaad bhi hai wo tumhein baat baraf-khane ki

jab se aankhon pe pada aks tere jalwe ka
hui us roz se aadat mujhe chundhiyane ki

ek din wo tha ki wo ud ke chala karte the
ek din ye hai ki aadat hui katrane ki

us ke dar ka na miyan 'bum' ne pichha chhoda
int-se-int baja kar rahe tah-khane ki
