shab-e-firaq mein ye dil se guftugu kya hai
mari umid hain wo un ki aarzu kya hai
ragen tamam badan ki idhar ko khinchti hain
kisi ka hath qarib-e-rag-e-gulu kya hai
shikasta-e-abla-e-pa ne aabru rakh li
khula na haal ki pani hai kya lahu kya hai
main apni maut pe raazi wo lash uThane par
ab aage dekhna hai marzi-e-adu kya hai
ye kis ko aaine mein aap dekhe jate hain
jahan mein aap se bhi koi KHub-ru kya hai
sabab bhi puchh lo un ki zidon se ai 'jawed'
rula rula ke hansaen ye un ki KHu kya hai
Ghazal
Shab-e-firaq mein ye dil se guftugu kya hai
