Raag Mein Rang Mein Khushbu Mein...


Raag mein rang mein khushbu mein nahaayi hui raat

ORhh lii hai teri yaadoN se sajaayi hui raat

Kya koi sho’la-e-khush-rang chhupa hai mujh mein

Laut jaati hai dar-e-chashm pe aayi hui raat

Ab mere hujraa-e-wahshat mein ammaN chahti hai

Rang aur noor ke haathoN yeh sataayi hui raat

Ho gayiN phir se tahi-dast hamaari aaNkhein

Subh par hum ne lutaadi hai kamaayi hui raat

Mo’jezaa-gar thi teri sard-nigaahi sar-e-shaam

Kitne khaaboN ki mere dil se rihaayi hui raat

Hum har ek cheez ko pur noor samajh baithe hain

Jab se hai khitta-e-ehsaas pe chhayi hui raat


(Ghalib Ayaz)
