ye nikhaton kii narm ravii ye havaa ye raat - Firaq Gorakhpuri

ye nikhaton kii narm ravii ye havaa ye raat

yaad aa rahe hain ishq ke tuute ta'alluqaat

maayuusiyon kii god men dam todataa hai ishq

ab bhii koii banaa le to bigadii nahiin hai baat

ik umr kat gaii hai tere intazaar men

aise bhii hain ke kat na sakii jin se ek raat

ham ahal-e-intazaar ke aahat pe kaan the

thandii havaa thii gam thaa teraa dhal chalii thii raat

har saai-o-har amal men muhabbat kaa haath hai

taamiir-e-zindagii ke samajh kuchh muharakaat

ahal-e-razaa men shaan-e-bagaavat bhii ho zaraa

itanii bhii zindagii na ho paaband-e-rasmiyaat

uth bandagii se maalik-e-taqadiir ban ke dekh

kyaa vasvasaa azaab kaa kyaa kaavish-e-nijaat

mujh ko to gam ne fursat-e-gam bhii na dii "Firaq"

de fursat-e-hayaat na jaise gam-e-hayaat
