Suna hai bolti hai to phool jhadte hain,
Ye baat hai to tere aangan mein thehl ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai log teri ibaadat karte hain,
Ye baat hai to hum bhi tere deewane ban ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai sabr ka phal hai tu,
Ye baat hai to hum bhi aaj tasalli kar ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai shehar mein tere sitaare bahut hain,
Ye baat hai to hum bhi toot ke tere shehar mein gir ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai qataar teri chaukhat tak lambi lagti hai,
Ye baat hai to aaj hum bhi qataar mein khade ho ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai tere shehar mein neend nahi aati,
Ye baat hai to umar tere shehar mein guzaar ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai tujhe naam pehchaan mein nahi aate,
Ye baat hai to chalo, be-naam ghoom ke dekhte hain.
Suna hai tere badan ki hawa se sheetal hota hai shehar tera,
Ye baat hai to aaj tere shehar mein jal ke dekhte hain.-
Hum chale din-raat,
Door khud se, tujhse mulaqat ho gayi.
Karna tha Ahad-e-Tark-e-Ishq,
Hum mareez tere,
Is mareez ki dard se mulaqat ho gayi.
Aansu jo tapak rahe the meri aankhon se,
In aansuon ki barsaat se mulaqat ho gayi.
Dhoondh raha tha chain main furqat ki galiyon mein,
Meri galiyon ki tere shehar se mulaqat ho gayi.
Phool sajaye the bohot,
gulistan mein aj hawa chal gyi
Phool haath mein the, inki mulaqat aandhi se ho gayi.
Basaya tha shehar maine yeh,
Teri isme parchayi reh gayi,
Main bhaaga door yahan se,
Tere aayine se meri mulaqat ho gayi.
Qatl dekhe maine yahan bohot,
Un raazon ki aaj khaniyon se mulaqat ho gayi.
Socha tha nikal jaunga mahfilon se,
Mod aaya kuch aisa, deewano se phir mulaqat ho gayi.
Akelepan ki chaadar odh kar uss aur nikla,
Is akele ki aaj akeleon se mulaqat ho gayi.
Baat gehri thi badi,
Aaj gairon ki gairon se mulaqat ho gayi.-
Aj sher-e-gulistan me meri baat ho gayi,
Aghosh me do shaks ki aankhein chaar ho gayi.
maikadon se kuch yun nikla,
Badnaam tha, aur badnaam ho gaya.
Ye kaisa hai khumaar, tera ikhtiyar ho gaya,
Main ghar ka bhatka, tere shehar me lapata ho gaya.
Hadson ke shehar me aaj ek hadsa ho gaya,
Main hosh me nikla tha, maara-maara ho gaya.
Mera junoon nikla, jo chhupa tha dil mein,
Dil se guzar ke, shamma me raakh ho gaya.
Aag ki ek chamak si dikhi sher mein, mera junoon bhadk gaya,
Aag ki ek jhilmil si roshni ne jaan le li,
Main ishq samajh ke ise lipat gaya.
Aag ne kis raah se raasta paya,
Yeh katl mera aaj raaz ho gaya.
Dhoondhi dil ki raakh, parwane har chaukhat pe,
Andheri raat me maano fanaa ho gaya.
Ek shaks aur is shehar me qurbaan ho gaya.
Dhoondhti rooh bahut shehar me aaj,
Dhoondte-dhoondte main raat ho gaya.
Raaz ki baat thi, afsana reh gaya,
Raat yun beeti, main tabaah ho gaya.
Nasha jeene ka thaa,
Main chand ki roshni mein, suraj sa jal gaya.
Main kuch yun gungunane laga,
Us ghar se awaaz aayi, main usmein viran ho gaya.
Mafailon mein uski baatein badi hui,
Badnaam the sabhi, main aur badnaam ho gaya.-
Thodi aankhon mein shabnam si hai...
Baat hoti hai dil se kabhi,
Narazgi kahin zinda si hai...
Tum kehti ho, "Saath hoon toh sahi,"
yaad dilani padti hai,
Bas baat itni si hai...
Hosh sambhale nahi sambhalta,
Kuchh teri aankhen bhi nashili si hai...
Main hoon thoda khudgarz,
Ye fitrat meri, teri si hai...
Abhi mujh mein ek tera aks baaki hai,
Kya ye be-rukhi bhi teri hi hai...?
Sher mera aaj ujaad gaya,
Kuchh sharaarat isme teri bhi hai...
Is hawa mein mera ab dum ghut-ta hai,
Hawa ki mehek bhi teri si hai...
Mere badan mein aag bhadakti hai,
Haath sekne ki aadat teri hi hai...
Kuchh Seene mein mere dard sa hai,
Yaadein piro-ne ki aadat teri hi hai...
Mere khwabon ki barf pighal si rahi hai...
Ye halchal aalam mein, sharaarat teri hi hai...-
Teri shiddat mein, teri barsaat mein
Teri qurbat mein, deedaar karu
Tu aaj mere paas nahi
Tera kal jo hai, woh mera aaj nahi
Teri furkat in chhaon mein, tujhe yaad karu
Yeh jeene ko dushwaar karu
Teri un yaadon ke shabistaan ko main sanwaaru...
Teri mehek aaj aur mehkay mere sher...
Is shaam mein tujhe yaad karu.......
Mera saahil tu, mera manzar tu
Meri masjid tu, mera mandir tu
Sajde mein tere sar jhukaun
Mujhe le chal us samundar mein tu
Teri ulfat ki un hawaon ko
Main hotho se aaj jalaun
Therja maahi, tujhe aj main padhna chaahun.....
Teri barsaat mein aaj tujhe yaad karu
Ashko ko tere, main apne naam karu
Teri shama mujh mein abaad karu
Teri anjuman mein aaj aaraam karu-
Tujhe milne ki chaah mein, aks apna peeche chhod aayu.
Ganga sa behta main, tere sheher se nikal jaaun.
Tu hothon se chhoo le toh Kashi sa pavitra ban jaaun,
Tu ek de pukar dil se,
Main daanveer Karan sa khud ko luta jaaun.
Kyun bhatakti hai tu in anjaan raahon mein?
Tu Taj meri, main Yamuna sa tujhme utar jaaun.
Tu muskura de toh tujhme abaad ho jaaun,
Mujhe rangon mein apne uljha le, main janam-janam ke liye sulajh jaaun.
Main yoniyon ka safar kar tere dar aaya hoon,
Tu Radha meri, main tujhe lene aaya hoon.-
Hum usi tarah to bahalte hain...
Jaise sab bahalte hain.....
Band hain mai-kado ke darwaze,
Hum tu bas sher me yuhi tehlte hai...
Lafz hothon ko door bolte hain...
Ye keh ke hum baat tal dete hain....
Safar zindagi ki viraniyon ka...
Ghar mein rakhte hain, thode ajeeb hain hum,
Bas basera de dete hain...
Ye udaasi ragon mein yun palti hai...
Hum sambhaale nahi, samhalte hain...
Hai ajab ye waqt ki galti bhi,
Hum saza lamhon ko dete hain...
Kadam aage kaise rakhu, ye badan pyasa hai,
Paani sa kisi ko piyo, to badan jalta hai...
Kamaal ke khwaab mere hain,
Sochu to barbaad karte hain...
Saansen lu to dum ghutta hai,
Mukul ye dastaan kese sunaye...
ye lafz hothon ko dafan karte hai....-
Nasha hai raahon ki doori ka,
Ab kyun baatein karein milan ki hum.
Jaane kis sheher mein tu hogi,
Na jaane kis sheher mein main hunga.
Un galiyon se guzarne ki baat kyun karein hum...
Un galiyon ke do alag raste hain ab hum.
Khuda kare bas abaad rahe yeh jahan,
Suna hai murde bankar jeete hain hum.
Kyun gila karein ab hum,
Dard hi to hai, ise apna kyun kare hum.
Nasha hai ab in badiyon ka,
Bhala us ghar mein rehne ki baat kyun karein hum.
Nasha hi to hai,
Ab yaadon ka chirag kyun banein hum.
Raat hi to hai,
Neend ke mohtaaj kyun banne hum.
Subah hai toh sahi,
Bhala dhalne ki baat kyun karein hum.
Zamana hi to hai,
In logon ki parwaah kyun karein hum.
Tu insaan hi to hai,
Tujhe ab khuda kyun samjhein hum.-
Ab kuch pata chalta nahi,
Main so raha hoon, raat dhalti nahi.
Khana badoshi mein basera hai,
Par ab main us karwaan mein hi nahi.
Meri zid ab zid hi nahi,
Meri chahat bhi ab us zid ki nahi.
Meri maujoodgi ab mujh mein maujud nahi,
Mera pata ab kisi ko pata nahi.
Mera makaan ab mere sheher ka nahi,
Ghar ki dheleez pe bikhre mere khwab,
Ab main un khwabon ka nahi.
Kyun baat kare us zindagi ki,
Ab meri koi zindagi hi nahi.
Meri kalpna ke darmiyaan jo shaks lapata hai
Vo aks ab mera mujhmein kabhi milta nahi
aj jha tu hai kal tu vha khud bhi nahi...
ye zindagi ki masaafat hai
iske raahi iske khud ke nahi........
Main apni kaplana ka ab yuvraj nahi......
Main toh is zamane ka bashinda hi nahi,
Chaara saazon ki chaara saazi se ab mujhe aaraam milta hi nahi.
Dastaan, raaz, mohabbat, qurbani,
Ab mujhe in alfazon ki tishnagi hi nahi.-
