Yaad Karo Jab Raat Hui Thi

Ghazal
Yaad Karo Jab Raat Hui Thi

Tum se koi baat hui thi

Kah sakta tha kaun kisi se

Wo shakl-e-haalat hui thi

Sab se nata tod ke yakja

Teri meri zat hui thi

Insanon ne haq manga tha

Aur faqat khairaat hui thi

Us ki kam-amezi se meri

Tahzib-e-jazbaat hui thi

Marne wala khud rutha tha

Ya naraaz hayat hui thi

Use zara sa khat likhne par

Kharch tamam dawat hui thi

Aaj ‘shuur’ saba ki aamad

Kitni badi saughat hui th
