jab sham baDhi raat ka chaqu nikal aaya
is bich teri yaad ka pahlu nikal aaya
wo shaKHs ki miTTi ka tha jab hath lagaya
chehra nikal aaya kabhi bazu nikal aaya
kuchh roz to do jism aur ek jaan rahe hum
phir silsila-e-harf-e-man-o-tu nikal aaya
dekha ki hai bazar yahan naf-o-zarar ka
wo tir ki tha dil mein taraazu nikal aaya
tha band charagh-e-ghazal ek ghaar mein pahle
manjha hai 'suhail' us ko to jadu nikal aaya
Ghazal
Jab sham baDhi raat ka chaqu nikal aaya
Suhail Ahmed Zaidi
