Shab e furqat me kabhi wasl ke manzar rakhdo

Shab e furqat me kabhi wasl ke manzar rakhdo,
Beete lamhoN ko mere zehn ke andar rakhdo...

Me bhi Ghalib ki ghazal hu kisi shab me aakar,
Apne hanthoN pe uthaloN, mujhe padhkar rakhdo...

Hijr ki raat khyaaloN me basar karni hai,
Meri nazroN se kahi door ye bistar rakhdo...

WusateN chahiye gar fikr me ek kaam karo,
Apne zehnoN ke darichoN pe samandar rakhdo....

Bai'at e zulm se inkaar kiya hai maine,
QaatiloN aao mere halq pe khanjar rakhdo....

Haal e dunya wo puraashob hai mar jaoge,
YaaN pe jina hai to dil par koi paththar rakhdo...

Kuch to baaki rahe nazroN me haya ke pardeN,
Aapse kisne kaha hai ke ye chadar rakhdo...

Abr ek baat hai kardo ye agar mumkin ho,
Apni saansoN ko mere jism ke andar rakhdo....

 Anees Abr
