sharab shahr mein nilam ho gai hogi


sharāb shahr meñ nīlām ho ga.ī hogī
adālat aaj bhī nākām ho ga.ī hogī

maiñ jis ġhazal meñ tirā husn le ke aayā thā
purānī baat sahī aam ho ga.ī hogī

maiñ chāñd bhej rahā huuñ ki tum ko dekh aa.e
tumhāre shahr meñ ab shaam ho ga.ī hogī

uThā ke laayā thā ik dev-dāsī mandir se
to kyā vo dāḳhil-e-islām ho ga.ī hogī

ye ishq khel nahīñ hai chhupan-chhupā.ī kā
tū ek baar to bad-nām ho ga.ī hogī

sharab shahr mein nilam ho gai hogi
adalat aaj bhi nakaam ho gai hogi

main jis ghazal mein tera husn le ke aaya tha
purani baat sahi aam ho gai hogi

main chand bhej raha hun ki tum ko dekh aae
tumhaare shahr mein ab sham ho gai hogi

uTha ke laya tha ek dew-dasi mandir se
to kya wo daKHil-e-islam ho gai hogi

ye ishq khel nahin hai chhupan-chhupai ka
tu ek bar to bad-nam ho gai hogi
