hasrat mujhe teri yaad mein ek jahan tak le jaati hai

hasrat mujhe teri yaad mein ek jahan tak le jaati hai,
jahan par sirf paagalpan aur deewanapan hi reh jaata hai,
meri tanhaiyaan bhi nahi aati hai dhoondne mujhko,
phir kyun lagta hai ki kissi ne mujhko pukara ho? 

kissi ki aankhein uss raste ko nahi takti hai,
magar teri yaad mein main baawaron ki tarah phirta hoon,
kyun jab main tere saath tha tu khamosh rahi,
kyun tu ab har kisi se mera zikra karti hai? 

main tujhe le kar baitha raha aagosh mein,
jab hosh aaya to mehsoos hua ki khwaab tha,
toote the saare sapnay mere jabse,
mera dil har khushi se niraash tha. 

bas ab tujhse yeh iltiza karta hoon,
akela chhord de mujhe mere haal par,
main karta hoon mohabbat ab bhi tujhse,
par dil kehta hai ki tu ab pyaar na kar. 

jab tum hum se sare-baazar mil kar bicharde the

mere dua ke lafz tut-tut kar bicharde the, 
jab tum hum se sare-baazar mil kar bicharde the. 

judaai ke woh manzar aaj bhi hain nigahon mein, 
jab tum mere bann kar duniya se nikle the. 

tujhe apni kismat samjh kar dil se lagaya tha humne, 
sabab-a-bewafai kitne gunah faristo ne likhe the. 

kitna khush tha apna dil unke panahoo mein, 
jana dard tab jab phool ke patton ki tarha hum bicharde the. 

kis kadar kaid the uski nigahon mera mera dil, 
jaise wadiyon se duaae le kar nikle the, 

phoolon ki bistar mein mili hain ghum-e-tanahai, 
ajab shakas tha muskaraya tab jab kanton se mile the. 

aye zindagi tu bas undekhi manzilon ki raah hai

tanhai mein teri yaad ke siwa koi yaad nahi hota, 
ashko ke bhaar bekaran hai, iss ka koi kinar nahi hota, 

aye zindagi tu bas undekhi manzilon ki raah hai, 
iss mein har sath chalne wala kabhi bhi hamara nahi hota. 

mohabbat ke anjaane rashton mein, anjan manzilon ke safar mein, 
ek humrahi ke siwa koi bhi sahara nahi hota, 

jis ke humrahi hi hath churda le anjaan rahon mein, 
aise musafir ke liye siwa bhatakne ke koi chaara nahi hota. 

agar jurd bhi jaaye shesha jo kabhi tutne ke baad, 
to kabhi bhi iss mein woh phele sa nazara dobara nahi hota.

jo yaadon ke shaaye raat hi muhet ho jaye khayalon se, 
to iss mein kahi bhi chamakta hua koi jugno, koi taza nahi hota. 

na jaane kab zindagi kaha sath churda le, 
kismat ke badalne se yeh kabhi hamara tumhara nahi hota. 

jeewan mein humrahi ka sath, kab kismat se milta hai, 
aye dost.. mohabbat ke khel mein koi jeta koi hara nahi hota

kitna shaur tha kitni garmahat thi mahaul mein

kitna shaur tha, kitni garmahat thi mahaul mein, 
hans rahe the woh aur khushi thi hamare bol mein, 

ki ek angraai li zindagi ne, apni taakat dikhayi, 
dhamm se dhamak di, achanak khamoshi chaayi, 

chhayi aisi khamoshi ki phir naa koi dastak kaam aayi, 
thamm se gaye kadam, koi raah bhi samajh naa aayi, 

nazar lagi kisi-ki yaa yeh pehlu ek aur inn rahon ka, 
jisne bujha di lau woh jis pe thi kabhi zindagi jhilmilayi. 

dhadkane hain patharon si, dil jigar pathar yahan

yeh shahar hai patharon ka, har bashar pathar yahan, 
dhadkane hain patharon si, dil jigar pathar yahan. 

patharon se inke waade, patharon sa pyar hai, 
patharon ke shahar mein har nazar pathar yahan. 

khaak pehchanega koi, hum jaise ghum gusaar ko, 
ugalta har baat mein hai, jahar har pathar yahan. 

mujh sa pyaasa kitne ruhein, bhatakti hai har taraf, 
ban gaya raaj ka dekho har lahar pathar yahan. 

khanakte ghungru ki aawazein to aati hai raat din, 
par hai lagta ki baraste har pahar pathar yahan. 

shaam ki taarikiyon mein duba hai apna sukhan, 
ban gaya apne liye to har sahar pathar yahan. 

kaun jaanega mere nagmon se uthte dard ko, 
so raha hai neend mein, har be-khabar pathar yahan. 

chal kahin aye dil, chal tu door kahi iss shahar se, 
ban gaya apne liye to har shahar pathar yahan. 

koun sa hai dard woh jo irrd-gird rehta hai

kagaz par nazar aati hai yeh siskiyan kis ki, 
koun sa hai dard woh jo irrd-gird rehta hai? 

yeh shabad lete hain talashi kis ki aahat ki, 
ki koun hai lafzon mein jo yun khamosh rehat hai? 

ek kachchi khawaish hai justaju ki kaid mein, 
ki zubaan par koi adhpaka sa sawaal rehta hai, 

kerte hain aanshu guftagu lafzo ke nukhto se, 

ki koun hai jo boond mein yeh samaya rehta hai. 

udhde pade hai lafz kai khud tees se apni, 
phir koun hai jo charcha ye sar-e-aam karta hai? 

deti nahi mohlat yaha jeene ko zindagi, 
phir koun hai jo surat badal kar nayi shakal leta hai? 

bhale jhooti yeh aas sahi

haathon se juda hokar woh, 
aankho se wida nahi hote hain, 

honton pe sada rahte to hain, 
par honton se bayan nahi hote hain. 

kis baat ko lekar baat karun, 
har baat mein wohi rahte hain, 

bhale karu na main zikr unka, 
par fiker mein woh hi rahte hain, 

kyun ponchu main inn aanshuo ko, 
har boond mein woh rahte hain, 

inhi bahano ke jariye, 
woh saath mera dete hain, 

bhale jhooti yeh aas sahi, 
par sach hai ki hum sahte hain, 

sab log hain kahne ko apne, 
phir bhi tannha hum lagte hain.
