bahana DhunDte rahte hain koi rone ka
hamein ye shauq hai kya aastin bhigone ka

agar palak pe hai moti to ye nahin kafi
hunar bhi chahiye alfaz mein pirone ka

jo fasl KHwab ki tayyar hai to ye jaano
ki waqt aa gaya phir dard koi bone ka

ye zindagi bhi ajab karobar hai ki mujhe
KHushi hai pane ki koi na ranj khone ka

hai pash pash magar phir bhi muskuraata hai
wo chehra jaise ho TuTe hue khilaune ka

Humko Uthna To Munh Andhere Tha
Lekin Ik Khwab Humko Ghere Tha

Khush-Shakal Bhi Hai Vo, Ye Alag Baat Hai, Magar
Humko Jaheen Log Hamesha Ajeej The

Kaun Sa Sher Sunayun Main Tumhe, Sochta Hun
Nya Uljha Hai Bahut Aur Purana Mushkil

ba-zahir kya hai jo hasil nahin hai
magar ye to meri manzil nahin hai

ye tuda ret ka hai beach dariya
ye bah jaega ye sahil nahin hai

bahut aasan hai pahchan us ki
agar dukhta nahin to dil nahin hai

musafir wo ajab hai karwan mein
ki jo hamrah hai shamil nahin hai

bas ek maqtul hi maqtul kab hai
bas ek qatil hi to qatil nahin hai

kabhi to raat ko tum raat kah do
ye kaam itna bhi ab mushkil nahin hai

Gin-Gin Ke Sikke Hath Mera Khurdura Hua
Jaati Rhi Vo Spars Ki Narmi, Bura Hua.

Unchi Imaaraton Se Makaan Mera Ghir Gya
Kuch Log Mere Hisse Ka Suraj Bhi Kha Gye

Un Chiraagon Mein Tel Hi Kam Tha
Kyon Gila Fir Humein Hawa Se Rahe

dard apnata hai parae kaun
kaun sunta hai aur sunae kaun

kaun dohrae phir wahi baaten
gham abhi soya hai jagae kaun

ab sukun hai to bhulne mein hai
lekin us shaKHs ko bhulae kaun

wo jo apne hain kya wo apne hain
kaun dukh jhele aazmae kaun

aaj phir hai kuchh udas udas
dekhiye aaj yaad aae kaun

Meri Buniyaadon Mein Koi Tedh Thi
Apni Deewaron Ko Kya Ilzaam Doon

Voh Nehar Ek Kissa Hai Duniya Ke Vaaste
Ferhaad Ne Taraasha Tha Khud Ko Chattaan Per

Thakaan Se Choor Paas Aaya Tha Iske
Gira Sote Mein Mujh Per Ye Shajar Kyon?

dard ke phul bhi khilte hain bikhar jate hain
zaKHm kaise bhi hon kuchh roz mein bhar jate hain

rasta roke khaDi hai yahi uljhan kab se
koi puchhe to kahen kya ki kidhar jate hain

chhat ki kaDiyon se utarte hain mere KHwab magar
meri diwaron se Takra ke bikhar jate hain

narm alfaz bhali baaten mohazzab lahje
pahli barish hi mein ye rang utar jate hain

us dariche mein bhi ab koi nahin aur hum bhi
sar jhukae hue chup-chap guzar jate hain

Ek Khilona Jogi Se Kho Gya That Bachpan Mein
Dhundhta Fira Vo Nagar-Nagar Tanha

Raat Sar Per Hai Aur Safar Baaki
Humko Chalna Zara Savere Tha

Sab Hawayein Le Gaya Mere Samander Ki Koi
Aur Mujhko Ek Kashti Baadbaani De Gaya

dard kuchh din to mehman Thahre
hum ba-zid hain ki mezban Thahre

sirf tanhai sirf virani
ye nazar jab uThe jahan Thahre

kaun se zaKHm par paDaw kiya
dard ke qafile kahan Thahre

kaise dil mein KHushi basa lun main
kaise muTThi mein ye dhuan Thahre

thi kahin maslahat kahin jurat
hum kahin in ke darmiyan Thahre

Pehle Bhi Kuch Logon Ne Joun Bo Kar Genhoo Chaha Tha
Hum Bhi Umeed Mein Hain Lekin Kab Aisa Hota Hai

Ai Safar Itna Bekaar To Na Ja
Na Ho Manzil, Kahin To Pahuncha De

dast-bardar agar aap ghazab se ho jaen
har sitam bhul ke hum aap ke ab se ho jaen

chaudhwin shab hai to khiDki ke gira do parde
kaun jaane ki wo naraaz hi shab se ho jaen

ek KHushbu ki tarah phailte hain mahfil mein
aise alfaz ada jo tere lab se ho jaen

na koi ishq hai baqi na koi parcham hai
log diwane bhala kis ke sabab se ho jaen

bandh lo hath ki phailen na kisi ke aage
si lo ye lab ki kahin wo na talab se ho jaen

baat to chheD mere dil koi qissa to suna
kya ajab un ke bhi jazbaat ajab se ho jaen

Kam Se Kam Usko Dekh Lete The
Ab Ke Sailaab Mein Vo Pull Bhi Gya

Aaj Ki Duniya Mein Jeene Ka Kareena Samjho
Jo Mile Pyar Se Un Logo Ko Zeena (Ladder) Samjho
