Hathon Mein Aaj Ki Shab Mehndi Lagaiyega, Urdu Ghazal By Naseem Dehlvi

hathon mein aaj ki shab mehndi lagaiyega
samjhe ye rang hum bhi kuchh rang laiyega

ye shoKHiyan tumhaari likkhi hui hain dil par
aaKHir kabhi to mere qabu mein aaiyega

phir main bhi kuchh kahunga dekho zaban roko
phir munh chhupa ke mujh se aansu bahaiyega

zat-e-sharif ho tum main KHub jaanta hun
tufan aur koi mujh par uThaiyega

han shama ka main gul hun naseh ki guftugu hun
baDh jaunga jahan tak mujh ko ghaTaiyega

ummid-war baqi kuchh aur rah gae hain
phir bhi naqab-e-gesu munh se haTaiyega

be-wajh ye nahin hai andaz guftugu ka
phir kal ki tarah ai jaan baaten sunaiyega

main hun mizaj-qatil lazim hai KHauf mujh se
jhuTi qasam nahin hun har-dam jo khaiyega

ye kyun hai na-umidi dargah-e-kibriya se
jo kuchh ki aarzu hai waisa hi paiyega

mushtaq ne to jaan di gul-gu libas kyun ho
ye rang-e-nau-urusi kis ko dikhaiyega

dekho raqib aae dekho raqib aae
kya munh ab aap ka hai jo munh chhupaiyegaga

hum KHub jaante hain ustadiyan tumhaari
mahfil mein baiThe baiThe aankhen milaiyega

aaKHir kuchh intiha bhi be-rahmiyon ki sahab
kahiye to aashiqon ko kab tak sataiyega

mumkin nahin jo niyyat badle tumhaari ai jaan
kya qahr aaj ki shab hum par na laiyega

kuchh lahza aur Thahro ta-ruh tan se nikle
aaegi aur aafat gar aap jaiyega

samjhe hue hain jo kuchh dil mein bhare hue hai
kahe ko aaiyega kahe ko aaiyega

aao to jald aao dam-bhar ke baad ai jaan
mujh ko na paiyega mujh ko na paiyega

sun lijiyega jo kuchh muddat se aarzu hai
fursat ho gar mayassar dam-bhar ko aaiyega

kuchh dur main nahin hun lazim hai yaad karni
manind-e-dil mujhe bhi pahlu mein paiyega

ThanDi kabhi na hongi kya garmiyan tumhaari
aaKHir 'nasim' ka dil kab tak jalaiyega
