Ye waqt-ae-manzar, ye khilaf-ae-hawa,
Ye rut-ae-berukhi, aur ye be-adab lehza,

Kuch din ki hai baat, bas raat guzarne dooo ...

-

Hua hai hijr par ilm nahi muje, kis kadar ye raat bitani hai muje,
Tere aagosh ki khwaish hai dabi hui Dil mien mere, ki teri hatheli se gam ki lakeer mitani hai muje,

Mai ahle-ae-wafa ki dastan mien gum ek saya hu, ki tere baad kaise ek umar bitani hai muje,
Tujhse bichada toh aab katron mien jal raha hu mai, bas aab dekhna hai tuje rakeeb ki hote hue 'Mann' aab aag se aag bujani hai muje....

-

Har kisi baat se pehle bhi toh tum the,
Meri kaynaat se pehle bhi toh tum the,

Bigde halat se pehle bhi toh tum the,
Saare sawalat se pehle bhi toh tum the,

Toh aab kyu nahi chalte humsaye sath mere,
Zamana-ae-mulakat se pehle bhi toh tum the,

Mil Jani thi jo manzlien aab kuch bhi toh nahi,
Es choti si baat se pehle bhi toh tum the,

Lagta hi nahi ab dil ye apne hi angan mien,
Teri zulf ka saya chat Jane se pehle bhi toh tum the...

-

Chalo aab ees husn ko kisi aur muhane karo,
Utar-te nakaab ke na aab lakh bhane karo.....

-

Dua bhi kya badua doge tum,
Apne naam se mera naam mita doge tum ?,
Hatheli pe rakh k khwahish-e-zamana,
Kehte the jeena sekha doge tum !,

Aur mehfil se uth bhi jata mien chirag bujakar,
Magar uth na saka ki shayad mehfil nahi Sara sheher jala doge tum.....

-

Ek awaaz pe lagh jate the mele us daur mien,
Ae bachpan tere kissae nayakeen khwaub se kyu hai.....

-

Baithe rahe the jaam tak shamo k vo gilae,
Tum bichadte hue bhi khamosh thae aur lafz humein bhi na milae...

-

Jang ko nikle toh naseeb-e-shahadat fir kyu na wazoo karte,
Ae mulk lipat k tere rang mien taboot se uth bhi jate, toh kya arzoo karte.....

-

Sach hai ki ishq se bad kar 'mann' koi faza nahi,
Mil jae toh dua nahi na milae toh saza nahi ...

-

Es kadar paana bhi kya paana hai tuje,
Jism bahon mien ho aur 'mann' bagawat-nashin.....
