raat ki bhigi palkon par jab ashk hamare hanste hain
sannaTon ke sanp dilon ki tanhai ko Daste hain
kal tak mai-KHane mein jin ke nam ka sikka chalta tha
qatra qatra mai ki KHatir aaj wo log taraste hain
ai mere majruh tabassum rup-nagar ki rit na puchh
jin ke sinon mein patthar hain un par phul baraste hain
shahr-e-hawas ke saudai KHud jin ki ruhen nangi hain
mere tan ki uryani par aawaze kyun kaste hain
chhin sakega kaun saba se lams hamari sanson ka
hum phulon ki KHushbu ban kar gulzaron mein baste hain
ashkon ki qimat kya jaanen pyar ke jhuTe saudagar
in sayyal naginon se to hire moti saste hain
kaun aaega nange pairon shama jala kar sham Dhale
'prem' mohabbat ki manzil ke baDe bhayanak raste hain
Ghazal
Raat ki bhigi palkon par jab ashk hamare hanste hain
Prem Warbartani
