Chand Apna Safar KHatm Karta Raha Shama Jalti Rahi Raat Dhalti Rahi, Urdu Ghazal By Abdur Rahman Asif

chand apna safar KHatm karta raha shama jalti rahi raat Dhalti rahi
hum teri rah chup-chap dekha kiye ye kahani isi tarah chalti rahi

be-qarari shab-e-hijr ki kya kahun yaad teri kaleja masalti rahi
chain dil se nigahen churaata raha nind aankhon mein karwaT badalti rahi

taqat-e-zabt ki koshishen ek taraf sard aahon ka zor aur shor ek taraf
aansu aankhon se ruk ruk ke bahte rahe barf jamti rahi aur pighalti rahi

hum teri yaad mein is tarah mahw the kuchh KHabar hi na mahaul ki ho saki
gham ki nagin kaleje pe baiThi hui munh se shoale pe shoale ugalti rahi

uf re pas-e-mohabbat ki majburiyan umr ummid hi mein basar ho gai
subh hoti rahi sham hoti rahi baat wadon hi wadon pe Talti rahi

bawajude-ki maKHfi kisi se na tha kar-gah-e-jahan jae mandan nahin
hukm-e-fitrat ki tamil hoti rahi sancha banta raha shakl Dhalti rahi

hajw-e-mai mimbar-e-KHisht-e-mai-KHana par us pe turra ye saqi ke hote hue
muft ka shaghl rindon ke hath aa gaya KHub waiz ki pagDi uchhalti rahi

barq-e-hirman giri aur girti rahi baal bika na ummid ka kar saki
walwalon ke paraKHche uDe ji bujha par tamanna ki qindil jalti rahi

uf wo mubham se tewar uchaTti nazar hum dorahe pe wahm-o-yaqin ke rahe
sham-e-umid turfa-tamasha bani KHud hi bujhti rahi KHud hi jalti rahi

wo mohabbat ki sahba-e-do-atisha mere ham-mashrabo mai-kade mein kahan
un nigahon ka kaif-e-shabana liye KHalwat-e-be-KHalal mein jo Dhalti rahi

ghuncha-o-gul ka jab tak zamana raha 'asif' apni tabiat rahi josh par
kaif-e-ishrat faza se Tapakta raha aish ki mai zamin se ubalti rahi
