uski dastaan koi yaad phirse dila gaya

teri zindagi ki kitab se,
mujhe jaane kisne mita diya,
meri rooh kisne chord di,
mere dil ko kisne bhuja diya.

jise bhoolne mein maine apni aadhi umr guzar di,
ussi ek shaks ki dastaan koi yaad phirse dila gaya.

mere dil ka ek woh aaina,
jise maine ulat ke tha rakh diya,
ussi aaine ko dikha diya,
mere aks ko kyon jala diya.

karu kis khuda se shikayatein,
karu kya sawaal main aapse,
yeh naseeb tha ya majak tha,
kyon tumne mujhko bhula diya.

kisi raste ke pathar sa mujhe raste se huta diya,
mere doston ne wafaaon ka kuch iss kadar se sila diya.

aye raaj tumne ye daastan inn khandharon me sunaai kyon,
mujhe gum hai mere fasaane ne inn patharon ko rula diya.

ab unhein nazar aate hain hum gunehgaaron ki tarah

dard baaki hai mere dil main nasoor ki tarah,
aaskh har roz bardhta hai darakhon ki tarah,

jinki aankho ne kabhi humko khuda mana tha,
ab unhein bhi nazar aate hain hum gunehgaaron ki tarah,

har shaam aankhon se pighalte hain dil ke kuch arrma,
fail jaate hain phir palkon pe sitaaron ki tarah,

har ghadi pyaas ka manjar dikhaayi deta hai,
meri haalat hai nadiyon ke kinaaron ki tarah,

main khushi koi agar khoj bhi loon to kaise,
meri kismat khadi hai har aur diwaaron ki tarah,

tumne dekha nahi ho gar to mujhe hi dekh lo,
zindgi jiski hai sandhuk me pardi kitaabon ki tarah.

mujhe hai yaad tera mujhko bhool jaana bhi

kabhi hakikat hai to kabhi fasana bhi,
jara si baat nahi hai waffa nibhana bhi,

unhein guman itna hai ki kya kahein aye dost,
ki jaise unko hi aata hai ruth jaana bhi,

kisi se apne dil ki chaar baat kahne mein,
kabhi to lammha lagta hai kabhi jamaana bhi,

abhi bhi yaad aata hai to dil machalta hai,
barda haseen tha woh tera chhup ke aana bhi,

tujhe to yaad bhi na hoga mera afsaana,
mujhe hai yaad tera mujhko bhool jaana bhi.

dasti hai tannhai

milker teri yaadon se dasne lagti hai tannhai,
mujh ko rula ker mujh hi pe hassne lagti hai tannhai,

be-haale to sab hain yahan,
gham ke maare or bhi hain,
phir mere hi dil mein kyon basne lagti hai tannhai.

ya rab iss tannhai ko mujhse kyon itna lagaw hai,
bheed mein agar  jaau to bhi bardne lagti hai tannhai,

ban ker grahak main jab bhi khushiyon ke bazaar challa,
khud hi ban ke saudaager bikne lagti hai ye tannhai,

tum ne to dekha hi nahi,
roz kissi dulhan ki terah,
aaa ker shaam se pehle hi sajne lagti hai tannhai.

aao phirse hum dono ajnabi ban jate hain

phuloon ko khushbu se gila hai,
bikharne se pehle muh mord leti hai,

zindagi ko maut se shikwa hai,
jab chahe nata jord leti hai,

badal ko hawa se sikayat hai,
jahan jab chahe rook leti hai,

pani ko zameen se khauf hai,
jitna bhi ho sab sokh leti hai,

pather ko pani se faryaad hai,
ek ek boond dagh deti hai,

seep se boond ko shikayat hai,
moti aakhir de hi deti hai,

moti ko insaan se khauf hai,
motiyon ki mala banate hai,

mohobbat duniyan se darti hai,
lakh chupau aade aa hi jati hai,

mujhe ishq se sikayat hai,
tannhai zindagi ban jati hai,

to phir aao aaj..
phirse hum dono ajnabi ban jate hain,
aur kam se kam dono chalte to raheinge

tu hi bata tere sapnon ko main sajaon kaise

meri aankhon mein teri yaad saji hai,
inn yaadon ki jo lambi lardi hai,
inn ladiyon ne jo bedardi hai,
woh bedard raahon mein khada hoon,
ab tu hi bata aye dost main sojaon kaise,
tere sapnon ko main sajaon kaise.

chupke se khamoshi se,
aankhein jab band hoti hain,
inn band aankhon ko teri yaad tardpa deti hai,
phir khamoshi se inn behte aashkon ko,
aankhon mein samo leta hoon,
inn sisakti aankhon mein ab tu hi bata main sojaon kaise,
aur tere sapnon ko main sajaon kaise.

har taraf teri surat hai,
har taraf tera chehara hai,
kaisa junoo ka alam hai,
har chehra tera chehara hai,
ab inn aankhon mein bekhawabi hi bekhawabi hai,
iss bekhawabi mein main sukoon paau kaise,
ab tu hi bata main sojaon kaise,
tere sapnon ko main sajaon kaise.

meri khamooshi chpuke chupke mujhse baatein kerti hain

meri tanhai mere saath hassti hai,
aur khamooshi chupke chupke baatein kerti hai,
jab se tumne in veeraanon se milwaya hai,
yeh zindagi bardi aasani se guzra kerti hai.

aaj bhi zindagi ka saaz hai,
tumhari berukhi mein chupi khamoosh mohobbat,
tumhara mujhe nazer andaaz kerne ka andaaz,
mujhe khud se door nahin jane deti,
tumhari jaffaon mein chalakti chahat,
tumhein bhulaane bhi nahin deti,

kal tumhari adkhuli aankhon ne,
mere sapne me apni is dastaan ko sunnane aayi,
kehi tum hi nahi main bhi tannha hoon,
main bhi khamooshi mein,
chupke chupke kisi se batain kerti hoon,

kash tum meri majboori aur dard ko samajh sakte,
meri jaffaon mein waffaon ko dhood sakte,

tumne sach hi kaha hai shaayed,
isiliye aaj tak meri tannhai mere sath hassti hai,
aur khamooshi chpuke chupke baatein kerti hai.
