kal raat ek ajib paheli hui hawa
jalte hue diyon ki saheli hui hawa
shiddat se hanp hanp ke murda si ho chuki
wahshat-zada charagh se kheli hui hawa
palTi to dastan bhi palTegi ek dam
wadi ki band samt dhakeli hui hua
sab pat jhaD chuke hain diye bhi shikasta hain
raqs o junun ki rut mein akeli hui hua
khiDki se aate hi mare mathe ko chhuti hai
us mehrban ki si hatheli hui hua
Ghazal
Kal raat ek ajib paheli hui hawa
Ahmad Khayal
