Ghum-e-shaam nahi ye tanhaayi hai
Aaj kayi arso ke baad unki yaad aayi hai

Fizaayein gunguna rahi hai kaano me
Lagta unke sheher se paigaam koi laayi hai

Shab bhar takta raha mai chaand unki yaadon me
Khabar nahi kab ye raat dhal aayi hai

Ab jo bhi hai, hai ye haal mera
Bazm-e-aashiqon me kya isi ka naam judaai hai?

Bechaain hu yaaron, dil me macha ye gadar kaisa
Jab naa ho ikhtelaaf to jung-e-badar kaisa

Aaj ilzaam ke tale jo daba diya hai mujhe
Bhool gaye ke humne kiya tha dil ka qadar kaisa

Mere likhe khat ke har harf jal gaye khaak me
Ab lehaaz e urdu me zer-o-zabar kaisa

Wo nahi gaye hai mukhtasar chand lamhon ke liye
Ta-umr unke liye fir ye sabar kaisa

-

Aaj mijaaz-e-ishq kuch alag sa lagta hai
Unke bina dil ka khushu kuch alag sa lagta hai

Ja rahe wo mujhe chor apne sheher
Mera sheher ab kuch alag sa lagta hai

Chaandni raaton me jo noor barasta tha unki zulfon pe
Tanha raaton me wo chaand kuch alag sa lagta hai

Likhta tha mai nazam kabhi unki yaadon me
Kalam hai wahi par ye shayar kuch alag sa lagta hai

Ye sardiyon ki raatein,
Kitni suhaani lage tere saath.

Baithe rahe hum, jheel kinaare,
Thaame haathon me tera haath.

Ye suraj bhi ek aisa jazbaat de raha hai,
Dhoop me chaaw ka ehsaas ho raha hai.

Ye thandi hawaaon me aaj kuch to baat hai,
Tujhe chune aayi hai ye, inhe humse aitraaz hai.

Ae fiza, bas mujhpe itna ehsaan kar de.

Unhe choo kar aa aur unki khushboo mere naam kar de.

-

Ae kaash ke tum mil jaate zara se,
Jaise behoshi me hosh ki tarha.

Fir raha hu dar-ba-dar kashmakash me,
Kahi nahi sukoon teri aagosh ki tarha.

Dil bhi ye khaali pada hai is bheed me,
Nahi hai aana jaana tera har roz ki tarha.

Jo tha, hai, rahega hamesha saath mere,
Chaahe na ho tu saath mere us roz ki tarha.

One day I will depart for the life eternal.
For a place than no one came back and talked about.

I will sense you all grieving for me, But dont.
For I have left for a better place.
A place where we all shall soon meet.

That day my body will rott but not my soul. For it has lived its life for sure.

We live as if that day will never come
But, look around and see how many have left you alone.

We think as if this life is ours, but not an inch, not an ounce.

Everyday when I sleep, I think and imagine how it would feel to sleep forever.

Dheere dheere aaja, nindiya sirhaane.
Palkon ke peeche khwaab sajaane.
Chupke se mere, aankhon me samaaja,
Din ka thaka mai, hu shaam ka haara.

Aaja re aaja re aa nindiya tu aaja.
Aaja re aaja re aa nindiya tu aaja.

Dekho ye naina kaise thake hai,
Raat se puchu kyun ye jage hai.
Nindiya ye fir q aati nahi hai,
Palkon pe fir q chaati nahi hai.

Aaja re aaja re aa nindiya tu aaja.
Aaja re aaja re aa nindiya tu aaja.

Aapki yaad aati rahi raat bhar,
Yaadon me karwat badalta raha raat bhar.

Socha taare gin lu zara bahar jaakar,
Upar chaand mujhe rulaata raha raat bhar.

Har raat ka ek sawera hota hai,
Har musafir ka ek basera hota hai.
Mai bhatakta raha apni tanhaiyon me akela,
Na mila mujhe koi aashiyan raat bhar.

Bewajah kyun ye dil ab bhi pareshaan hai,
Kyun nahi samajhta, ye bada nadaan hai.
Keh raha hu ise ke bhula de tumhe,
Fir bhi tere naam ki sansein ginta raha raat bhar.

Ret ko mutthi me band kiye wo guroor karte hai

Fisal jaaye jab wo ret to use ret ka kusoor kehte hai.
