raat damakti hai rah rah kar maddham si
khule hue sahra ke hath pe nilam si
apni jagah sahil sa Thahra gham tera
dil ke dariya mein ek halchal paiham si
lambi raat guzar jae tabiron mein
us ka paikar ek kahani mubham si
apni lagawaT ko wo chhupana jaanta hai
aag itni hai aur ThanDak hai shabnam si
mere pas se uTh kar wo us ka jaana
sari kaifiyyat hai guzarte mausam si
shayad ab bhi koi sharar baqi ho 'zeb'
dil ki rakh se aanch aati hai kam kam si
Ghazal
Raat damakti hai rah rah kar maddham si
Zeb Ghauri
