dekhne mein lagti thi bhigti simaTti raat
phailti gai lekin bund bund baTti raat
titliyan pakaDne ka aa gaya zamana yaad
tez tez baDhte hum dur dur haTti raat
kyun pahaD jaisa din KHak mein mila Dala
pahle soch lete to gard mein na aTti raat
pyar se kiya ruKHsat ek ek sitare ko
chha rahi phir aankhon mein aasman se chhaTti raat
ek sada ki surat hum is hawa mein zinda hain
hum jo raushni hote hum pe bhi jhapaTti raat
Ghazal
Dekhne mein lagti thi bhigti simaTti raat
Ali Akbar Abbas
