raat bhii niind bhii kahaanii bhii - Firaq Gorakhpuri

raat bhii niind bhii kahaanii bhii

haaye kyaa chiiz hai javaanii bhii

ek paigaam-e-zindaganii bhii

aashiqii marg-e-naagahaanii bhii

is adaa kaa terii javaab nahiin

meharabanii bhii saragaraanii bhii

dil ko apane bhii gam the duniyaa men

kuchh balaayen thii aasmaanii bhii

mansab-e-dil Khushii lutaataa hai

gam-e-pinhaan bhii paasabaanii bhii

dil ko sholon se karatii hai sairaab

zindagii aag bhii hai paanii bhii

shaad-kaamon ko ye nahiin taufiiq

dil-e-gamagiin kii shaadamaanii bhii

laakh husn-e-yaqiin se badakar hai

in nigaahon kii badagumaanii bhii

tanganaa-e-dil-e-malaal men hai

behr-e-hastii kii bekaraanii bhii

ishq-e-naakaam kii hai parachhaaii

shaadamaanii bhii kaamaraanii bhii

dekh dil ke nigaar-Khaane men

zaKhm-e-pinhaan kii hai nishaanii bhii

Khalq kyaa-kyaa mujhe nahiin kahatii

kuchh sunuun main terii zabaanii bhii

aaye taariiKh-e-ishq men sau baar

maut ke daur-daramiyaanii bhii

apanii maasuumiyon ke parde men

ho gaii vo nazar sayaanii bhii

din ko suuraj-mukhii hai vo naugul

raat ko vo hai raat-raanii bhii

dil-e-badanaam tere baare men

log kahate hain ik kahaanii bhii

nazm karate koii naii duniyaa

ki ye duniyaa huii puraanii bhii

dil ko aadaab-e-bandagii bhii na aaye

kar gaye log hukmaraanii bhii

jaur-e-kam-kam kaa shukriyaa bas hai

aap kii itanii meharabaanii bhii

dil men ik huuk bhii uthe ai dost

yaad aaii terii javaanii bhii

sar se paa tak sapurdagii kii adaa

ek andaaz-e-turkamaanii bhii

paas rahanaa kisii kaa raat kii raat

mehamaanii bhii mezabaanii bhii

jo na aks-e-jabiin-e-naaz ki hai

dil men ik nuur-e-kahakashaanii bhii

zindagii ain diid-e-yaar "Firaq"

zindagii hijr kii kahaanii bhii
