Long night

samne umr paDi hai shab-e-tanhai ki vo mujhe chhoD gaya shaam se pahle pahle...

charaghon ko aankhon mein mahfuz rakhna baDi duur tak raat hi raat hogi...

phir aaj kaise kaTegi pahaD jaisi raat guzar gaya hai yahi baat sochte hue din...

raat aa kar guzar bhi jaati hai ik hamari sahar nahin hoti...

baDe taban baDe raushan sitare TuuT jaate hain sahar ki raah takna ta sahar aasan nahin hota...

tul-e-shab-e-firaq ka qissa na puchhiye mahshar talak kahun main agar mukhtasar kahun...

jaagta hun main ek akela duniya soti hai kitni vahshat hijr ki lambi raat mein hoti hai...
