na din pahaD lage ab na raat bhaari lage
na aae nind to aaankhon ko kya KHumari lage
KHushi nahin thi to gham se nibah kar lete
kisi ke sath tabiat magar hamari lage
koi na ho kabhi ahbab ke karam ka shikar
meri tarah na kisi dil pe zaKHm-e-kari lage
hamein taDapta hua gham mein chhoDne wale
KHuda kare ki tujhe zindagi hamari lage
nafas nafas hamein roz-e-jaza se baDh kar hai
wo shauq se jiye jis ko hayat pyari lage
wo mar na jae to phir aur kya kare ai 'shakeb'
wajud apna jise zindagi pe bhaari lage
Ghazal
Na din pahaD lage ab na raat bhaari lage
Shakeb Banarsi
