mizha pe ashk-e-alam jhilmilae aaKHir-e-shab
bichhaDne wale bahut yaad aae aaKHir-e-shab
wo jin ke qurb se Dhaaras thi mere dil ko bahut
koi kahin se unhen DhunD lae aaKHir-e-shab
ye shor-e-baad-e-zamistan ye rasta sunsan
Dara rahe hai daraKHton ke sae aaKHir-e-shab
hawa mein dard ki shiddat se zamzama-paira
sunega kaun ye meri sada-e-aKHir-e-shab
rawana hone ko hai karwan sitaron ka
phir us ke baad kahan naqsh-e-pa-e-aKHir-e-shab
kidhar chali hai nigar-e-falak kise malum
ye tasht-e-mah-o-sitara uThae aaKHir-e-shab
wo teri yaad ke mehman ho gae ruKHsat
ujaD gai mere dil ki sarae aaKHir-e-shab
phir us ke baad wahi dhup hai mashaqqat ki
zara si der ko hai KHwabnae aaKHir-e-shab
nasib ho saf-e-aindagan ko taza sahar
mere labon pe yahi hai dua-e-aKHir-e-shab
wo so gae hain jinhen jagne ki aadat thi
kise pukar rahi hai hawa-e-aKHir-e-shab
'farasat' ab hui mahfil tamam ghar ko chalo
sarak rahi hai falak par rida-e-aKHir-e-shab
Ghazal
Mizha pe ashk-e-alam jhilmilae aaKHir-e-shab
