samne ek be-rahm haqiqat nangi ho kar nachti hai
us ki aankhon se ab meri maut ki KHwahish jhankti hai
jism ka jadu is duniya mein sar chaDh kar jab bolta hai
ruh meri sharminda ho kar apna chehra Dhanpti hai
us ki jholi mein sab khoTe sikke Dale jaenge
jaanti hai ye andhi bhikaran phir bhi din bhar mangti hai
mera KHun piya to us ko taza lahu ki chaT lagi
ab wo nagin apni zaban se apna lahu bhi chaTti hai
ab ki bar ai buzdil qismat khul kar mere samne aa
kyun ek dhachka roz laga kar baqi kal par Talti hai
mazi ki turbat se nikal aati hai kisi ki yaad ki lash
meri soch meri dushman hai roz musibat Dalti hai
sahra ka baadal do bunden barsa kar uD jata hai
pyasi banjar banjh zamin kuchh aur ziyaada hanpti hai
ab tak soi hui thi wo aasaish ke gahware mein
angDai si le kar 'shabnam' aaj ana kyun jagti hai
Ghazal
Samne ek be-rahm haqiqat nangi ho kar nachti hai
Shabnam Shakeel
