jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa

jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa,
bahar mein ujrde chaman ko, patjhard se bachana kaisa,

tumhari inayaton ka zikar phir kabhi hoga mere dost,
zakham-e-dosti na ho jis mein, woh dil ka afsana kaisa,

manzil par pounch kar bhi karwa ki talash hi rahi,
acha tha hazum ke saath chalna, yun tannha chalna kaisa,

haath se haath kya milana, dil se dil milaao to jaane,
haath mein khanzar dil mein nafrat, yun yaaron se milna kaisa.

taaro ko chand ke paimanaye mein bhar kar kabhi to pilaao,
ashq bhari ankhon ke paimane mein roz-roz pilana kaisa,

khamoshi ki gunj mein cher ke dil ka saz gun-gunaya karo,
lab-e-khamosh se behron ki mehfil mein gun-gunana kaisa,

apne hi dil ke kone mein dhondho us talash ko,
yun tannha parbat-parbat mare-mare phirna kaisa.

mujhe teri aarzu rahi barson

chaand ki justju rahi barson,
mujhe teri aarzu rahi barson,

sadiyan judaai ke beetein to jana,
mere khwabon mein tu hi rahi barson,

main hi unko samajh nahi paya,
yun unse guftgu rahi barson,

woh gulbadan jab kabhi bhi aaye,
ghar mein khushbu rahi barson,

main apne aib kahan chhipata,
unki nazar har taraf rahi barson,

maut ke saye mein bhi dekho,
zindagi ru-b-ru rahi barson.

tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho

mere baad mat dhondhna mere kadmon ke nishan,
main to ek saaya hoon kali raat ka,

ek saaya jiska koi wajood nahi,

janmo se main bhatak raha hoon apni talaash mein,
dubba hua hoon na jaane kaise pyaas mein,

zindagi se khaffa maut ki talash mein,
anjaan se safar mein koi sathi nahi hai mera,
ek safed sa saaya jo shayad mera kafan hai,
roz mujhe dhakne ki firaq mein,

aata hai har raat mere soone ke baad,
lekin usse bach ke bhagne ki koshish mein,
roz thora thora sa mar raha hoon,
bass ussi kafan ka intezaar kar raha hoon,

lakin waise nahi jaise woh mujhh dhakna chhahta hai,
main jee to nahi saka apni marzi se,
lekin mera jism apni marzi se marna chhahta hai,

main maut ko jaise bulaun woh waise hi aaye,
marne ke baad mera dil bhi dharkta rahe,
kiyonki iss dil mein to tu bassi hai,

marne ke baad meri aankhain bhi khuli rahe,
kyonki inn mein tere khwaab sajaye hain,

marne ke baad mere hoonth bhi larzte rahe,
kyonki inko aaj bhi teri pyaas hai,

marne ke baad meri sanse bhi chalti rahe,
kyonki yeh sanse tera naam lekar chal rahi hain,

magar jab mujhe aakhri hichki aaye,
to teri goad naa ho tera anchal naa ho,

tere aanshu meri lash ko nehlatay naa ho,
tere hoonth mere bejaan jism ko chumtay naa ho,

mere rashton mein tujh se kiye waade naa ho,
mere phir zinda ho jaane ke iraade naa ho,

tere saath guzre pal mujh par bojh naa ho,
tera pyar mere paon ki zanjeer naa bane,

meri chhita ki rakh se teri tasveer naa bane,
kash yun zindagi kare bewafai to kitna acha ho,

tera surakh dupatta meri lash se lipta ho,
mera wajood chutki bhar rakh main simta ho,

aur woh rakh teri mang ka sindoor naa ho,
tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho,

tera ehsaas mujhse kabhi door naa ho...........!!

teri yaad bhi kya-kya dusprabhav kiya karti hai

teri yaad bhi kya-kya dusprabhav kiya karti hai,
bhar chuke zakhamon ko phir harra karti hai.

mujhe har saaya tera hi akas lagta hai,
dil ki jalan bhi yeh kaisa dhuuan karti hai.

jab kabhi dekhta hoon baithi gul pe titlii,
lagta hai jaise tu mujh ko chhua karti hai.

mausam-e-bahar hum ussi ko kehte hain,
chaman mein jab teri aahat hua karti hai.

fursat mile to kabhi dekhna aake mere ghar,
maut ke saaye mein kaise zindagi jiya karti hai.

ajab hai aankh-michouli mujh mein aur mritu mein,
dhundha hai usse jitna, woh utna chhipa karti hai.

kisi surat dil-e-nadan ko samjhaya nahi jata

kisi surat dil-e-nadan ko samjhaya nahi jata,
ki jaane waalon se kabhi dil lagaya nahi jata,

adda hai zid pe apni bada nadaan bachha hai,
ki toote khilono se jee ko behlaya nahi jata.

yeh jana hai teri duniya mein aake hum fakreeon ne,
ki yahan har kisi ke aage haath failaya nahi jata.

kisi ki pyaas bhujti hai, kisi ki aas bhujti hai,
ki barish ka koi katra kabhi zaaya nahi jata.

jiske waste jeeta hai, ussi pe jal jata hai deewana,
parwane ko hunar jalne ka sikhlaya nahi jata.

kabhi tha aashian mera tere kadmon men janejaana,
ab barson beet jaate hain idhar aaya nahi jata.

aksar gila rehta hai hum maikhaaron se saki ko,
woh bhar deta hai paimana aur humse utthaya nahi jata.

andaaz jeene ka kabhi seekho darkhat se tum,
ho chaahe dhup jinti, isspe kabhi apna saya nahi jata.

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi,
aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

raat ka yeh sama.. hum akele yaha,
dhundhe aankhein tumhein, chhip gaye tum kaha?
dhadkane khamosh hain, hum bhi madhosh hain,

tera jalta badan meri aagosh hai,
har taraf pyaar ki aag jalne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

sard si chandni.. bikhri hai har kahin,
aa basa le sanam, aashiyan hum yahin,

raat saari sanam, aankhon mein jaayegi,
taare ginte sanam, subah ho jayegii,

subha ki pehli kiran dekh khilne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

raat dhalne laggi.. shamma bhujne laggi,

aaja mere sanam, saans thamne laggi.

dard ke samundar ko sene mein dabaye baitha hoon

dard ke samundar ko 

sene mein dabaye baitha hoon,
apne aankhon ke aanshuon ko 

muskaan mein chupaye baitha hoon.

yeh kaun kahta hai 

hansta hua chehra hai mera,
yeh to woh dard hai 

jisse apne chahre se chupaye baitha hoon.

ek bewafa ko bhoola naa jaaye to kya kare

kaam aa saki naa apni wafaye to kya kare,
ek bewafa ko bhoola naa jaaye to kya kare?

abb dil mein hai ki unko bhula kar hi dekh le,
woh baar-baar yaad jo aaye to kya kare,

na gila tumse hai na khudaya tujhse ranjjish

diye hain apno ne humein ghum itne,
ki har ajnabi se lipat kar roote rahe hain hum.

khuli aankhon in ashqon pe na jaana doston,
ek umr ek sadi se bas soote rahe hain hum.

hai rahi mehfil-e-dil mein kahi jeene ki kwaaish,
kwaashishon ko kabhi seh-seh kar bhi jeete rahe hain hum.

na gila tumse hai na khudaya tujhse ranjjish,
bas aapne hi gile shikwoh ko kuch seete rahe hain hum.

paani se aangan yunhi bhigote rahe hain hum,
ke har ajnaabi se lipat kar roote rahe hain hum.

jalte huye dil ki kahani na pucho

jalte huye dil ki kahani na pucho,
kya kya sitam huye hum par na pucho,

chaha hai usko dil-o-jaan se magar,
chaahat ka anjaam kya mila yeh na pucho.

tut gaya dil aanshu bhi na bahe,
dil ki khamoshi ka aalam na pucho.

saaya bhi chhord kar chala gaya humein,
aur kya reh gaya mere liye yeh na pucho.

jaante the hum ki woh nahi aayenge,
phir bhi kyun intezaar kiya humne yeh na pucho.

khwaaish thi unko paane ki is janam mein,
par kitne janam intezaar karenge yeh na pucho.

mehndi kum pard gayi haathon mein unke,
khoon-e-jigar kyun diya humne yeh na pucho.

bewafai kar gaye woh jo wafa ka dawa kiya karte the

veeran si ho gayi rahe wafa meri,
kuch log yahan se bhi guzra karte the,

ab kabhi nazar hi nahi aate hain woh sitare,
jo kabhi chaand ke irrd-gird ghooma karte the,

dhardkan ki tarah iss dil mein the,
woh jo khoon ki gardish mein raha karte the,

saaya mera ban ke woh, 

tanhai main mere saath chala karte the,

aaj kya batayein daastan apni
bewafai kar gaye woh,

jo wafa ka dawa kiya karte the.

bethi yaadon

aaj main tannha baihti yaadon ko nakhuon se
maazi ki raakh kured raha hoon,

us aakhri shaam ki yaad ab tak
dil ke kisi kone mein pada ro raha hai,

jab mere sath saans lete hue aanshu
chilla chilla kar keh rahe the,

hamein chhord kar mat jaao
magar mere lab khamosh the aur tum,
mere aanshu ki aawaz sun nahi paaye the,

shaam dhire dhire dhalti jaa rahi thi,
parinde apne baseron ko laut rahe the,
aur tum mere dil ka basera chhord kar jaa rahe the

kahin door, shayad bahut door,
darakht khamosh khade the aur main
darakht ke kandhe par sar rakh kar ro raha tha,

tumne aakhri baar meri aur murd kar dekha aur
tumhari nigahon mein na jaane kya tha keha,

meri palkon pe thehra aakhri aanshu
ek nokeeli salakh ki maanind
dil mein utar gaya tha,

aah…. woh shaam kitni andheri thi,
amavas ki raat se bhi jada andheri,

magar na jaane kyon
itna waqt beet jaane ke baad,

aaj maine shaam ki gulaabi hatheli pe likha..
“meri bichhdi koi shaam ek baar laut kar aao,
main tumhare intezaar mein hoon".

then she ran away

she says life is rough
everything so tough,

she couldn’t more
her heart was really sore,

her eyes were filled with tears
and nobody to be near,

not even a good friend
for her loneliness to end,

but what she wanted to do
is to start life good & new,

with no words left to say
and then she ran away.

dil pe zakham aisa diya usne

dil pe zakham aisa diya usne,
ki dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai,

aag jalti hai dusro ko sakun pahouchane ke liye,
main jalta hoon apne aapko maarne ke liye.

lo aaj iss baat pe dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai,
jiss bhi pyaar kiya woh juda ho gaya hai.

mera bharosa tordna, mere dil se khelna aadat ho gaya hai,
dekho ji ke dard bhi aaj mera deewana ho gaya hai.

shakko se gheeri hai meri zindagi,
kisi pe bharosa karna mere aape se bahaar ho gaya hai,
aaj tu dard bhi “raaj” ka deewana ho gaya hai.

remember when laughing out loud

remember when laughing out loud we used to get mad
and now nothing makes me sad or glad.

remember when your words filled me with rejoice
and now I long to even hear your voice.

remember when you used to say sweet dreams and goodbye
and now every night of mine ends with a cry.

remember when we shared all our joys and tears
and now I have your memories, you are not here.

remember when you used to wait for me late at night
and now you are not even in my sight.

kaho kab sath mere isse gungunaaoge

roo-b-roo dar, chale jaane ke baad aaoge,
koun kehta hai ki, ab umra bhar sataoge?

naazron ki adaoun ka kya bayaan karoon,
har lamhein nain tokate hain, ki kab jaaoge?

khud bulaya tha, kai baar bhej kar khabar,
dar pe haazir hoon, kya patah, ki kab bulaoge?

maanta hoon ki, khata mujhse ho gayi hogi,
dour-e-ulfat hai, kab tak wahi duhraaoge?

saath taahashra rahega, yeh zarooree to nahin!
kab talak saath ho, yeh bhi nahin bataaougey?

ruk bhi jaayega agar chaand to, kitne lamahein,
gar marr  jaau main kahi par,  patah lagaaoge?

tamaam dar khule hain dil ke na jaane kab se,
khade rahoge door yaa kadam bardhaaoge?

badalon ne aaj chhupa liya hai chaand seene mein,
ruke rahoge ki baahoun mein aa samaaoge?

sadaayein laakh zehan mein panaah letin hain,
gazal likha hai ek aur tumhare liye, 

kaho kab sath mere isse gungunaaoge?

come and sit, and hold my hand

come and sit, and hold my hand,
and pour yourself a glass of gin.

forget whatever else you have planned,

just come and sit, and hold my hand,

and let me stroke your silken skin,
and tell you how I did like to sin,

with you – so come and hold my hand,
and pour yourself a glass of gin.

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi,
kuch kahein na kahein baatein sada raheingi,

dil ko behlaane ke liye shayari ek marz hai,
koi samjhe na samjhe shayari chalti rahegi,

jo ghar kar gaya hai iss dil mein,
ab ussi ki khatir meri rooh zinda rahegi,

hum rahein na rahein mehfilein sada raheingi,
kuch kahein na kahein baatein sada raheingi.

bahut dino se mera dil udaas rehta hai

bahut dino se mera dil udaas rehta hai,
main kya karu bas ek hi shaks yaad rehta hai.

kabhi khayal hi nahi aata ki main aakela hoon,
ab to mera pyaar saath bhi nahi rehta hai.

kisi se baat karte huye halat aajeeb hota hai,
mujhe to kuch bhi na hosh-o-hawaas rehta hai

kahi woh badal na jaaye, kahi woh mujhe bhool na jaaye,
naa jaane kyu mujhe ab yeh khauff har waqt rehta hai.

naa jane mere dil ko kya ho gaya hai,
kyu ab yeh har waqt udaas rehta hai.

woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhein ke liye

woh tera muskurana, woh bahon mein mere aana,
woh pal-pal mein aana, woh har waqt mujhe satana,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhein ke liye.

woh tera baat-baat par rooth jana,
woh tujh ko baaton-baaton mein manana,
woh tera pyaar karna, woh raaton ko intezar karna,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhe ke liye.

woh chhup-chhup kar tera milna,
woh meri bechaniyon ko bardhana,
woh har lamhein mein khushiyan talash karna,
woh khushiyon ko samet kar daaman mein bharna,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamein ke liye,

woh tera yun hi chale jaana,
woh har kasam ko tord mujhe chord jaana,
woh mere aksh se bhi door na jaana,
woh chord kar mujh ko mere se door jaana,
woh lamha yaad aaya ek lamhe ke liye.

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi,
ek aarjoo hai baki dil mein kahi kahin.

tumhein pa kar bhi kya paya,
tumhein kho kar kya kho diya,
phir kyun koi malaal hai dil mein kahi kahin.

na woh rishta na silsila hi raha,
tujhse na koi rabta hi raha,
phir kyun teri yaadein hain dil mein kahi kahin.

door tak nazaron mein hain waki veeraniya,
mujhko rula rahi hain teri nishaniyaan,

koi dard sa uthta hai dil mein kahi kahin.
mujhko maloom hai too lautker na aayega,

aur mera bulana bhi fizul jayega,
phir kyun milan ki aash hai dil mein kahi kahin.

it was a dream but sounded real

my god I heard you, once again thanks you
thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you!

it was a dream, but sounded real
I saw you dialing fast, in vain.

contacts though failed, your zeal was real
then suddenly, when dialed again.

it rang for me, and continued
but, I was looking at you.. 

your face.. your eyes! and 

all was quietly viewed for long,

discovering rays of grace.

it rang! and rang and rang,

again thanks you! 

I thought, it was some one, not you.

I wanted, not to miss that view
then came, a hint from your sweet eyes.

in moments, disappeared all whys
I lifted! oh, that was your voice.

that view went-off, I heard the choice
you now wanted me, talk to you.

thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you! 
your face appeared on phone with voice

I know, thou art always so nice
my senses know you, voice-and-face

your touch and scent your charming grace
but, I know-not the taste, as yet

comes in between, a flimsy net
and then I heard you, once again.

then door-bell rang poured-out the gain
my God.. I heard you once again thanks you,
thanks you.. thanks you.. thanks you!

kya tumhein yaad hai woh dilbar deewaana sa

kya tumhein yaad hai woh dilbar diwaana sa,
kuch to pagla sa, kuch woh mastaana sa.

bhool se dil-jalon ki mehfil mein aa gaya woh,
hua uske bhi dil ka phir jalna-jalaana sa.

gham zada tere dil ko thaama, kis dilkashi se,
lubha hi gaya chalkake ankhon se paimaana sa.

kabhi usko bhi jafayein sehni to pardi hongi,
kabhi uski bhi ankhon ne bahaya tha fasaana sa.

khil ke mila woh ajnabi, har ek se aashnaa sa,
goya ke ho woh koyi, shahan-shaah puraana sa.

nigaah-e-mast mein uska, ummeed ke diye jalaana,
kaisa laga uska, diwaana bana, jee ko churaana sa.

tere lafzon mein jhalakti hai ek surat uski,
kaise laga, logon ka usse tera deewana banana sa.

rehta tha jo duuba, apni hi dhun mein magan,
rehne laga anjuman mein, ab juda sa, begaana sa.

bheegi nazzaron se takna, teri berukh adaayein,
aaine se bhi dekha na gaya, uska kumhlaana sa.

ab to woh roye, to rota hi chala jaata hai,
karta hai shayri se, hasraton ka bujhaana sa.

waqt aa hi gaya, hans ke widaa kyun nahin karte,
har baat pe yeh kya ki, bura bhala sunaana sa.

kuch is tarah se toota dil apna

kuch is tarah se toota dil apna,
ke tordne waale ko bhi taras aa gaya,
jo tord kar dil mera
mujhe jeena seekha gaya,

woh samjh sakein to aanshu, na samjhe to paani

yeh inaayatein gazab ki,

yeh balaa ki meherbaani,

meri khairiyat bhi poocchi,

to kisi aur ki zubani,

meri be-zubaan aankho se,

gire hain chand katre,

woh samjh sakein to aanshu,

na samjh sakein to paani.

tannha main tha tannha safar tha

tannha main tha tannha safar tha,

aise mein dikh gaya chand.
jaha muda main jaha gaya main,

sath mere chal diya chand.

kyu laga o mujh ko apana sa,

shayad kahi main dekha tha,
gori ke ghooghat mein chhipe,

us chehare sa lag gaya chand.

raat bhi kali, kali badali,

jo bhi dikhata.. kala tha,
kaise kahu mujhe kitna bhaya,

aise mein haldiya chand.

shart lagayi maine usse,

dekhoge kya mera chand,
dekhate hi unki tashweer,

sharma ke chhip gaya chand.

tannha main tha tannha safar tha,

aise mein dikh gaya chand.
jaha muda main jaha gaya main,

sath mere chal diya chand.

jaane kahan hain manzilein, jaane kahan raah-e-dagar

jaane kahan hain manzilein, jaane kahan raah-e-dagar,
phir iske kyun shikve karein, koi nahi jo humsafar.

haste rahein - rote rahein, baithe rahein - chalte rahein,
kya kya karein, kya naa karein, beete nahi shaamo-sahar,

har shaam par woh aag hai jalti jo tere naam se,
ek hai shama seene mein bhi, roye jo mere haal par,

tere hi kadamon k nishan rahein yaadon ke tanha registaan mein,
woh shaks kis taraf gaya poochha karein deewaro-dar,

subho ki hawa bhi hai yahaan, lekin badi hairan hai,
kisko jaga kare ab, khushbu se kar ke tar-batar,

hota agar main aayina, rakh leta usko kaid kar,
har zakham se deta raahat bankar woh mera doctor.

kya in halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar

kya khabar thi iss tarah hi jeena hoga umra bhar,
dard -e- dil seene mein lekar jeena hoga umra bhar,

socha tha kuch roz baad hum bhi muskurayenge,
socha na tha aanshuon ko peena hoga umra bhar.

maine bhi uff na kara aur woh bhi satate rahe,
socha tha ki yeh to unse bhi na hoga umra bhar.

soch badali hai kabhi na soch badalegi kabhi,
aadmi ko apni tarah jeena hoga umra bhar.

har din ke inteham par yeh sochta hoon,
kya in halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar.
