Teri Yaadon Ke Raastay Ki Taraf
Ik Qadam Bhee Nahee Barhuun Ga Mein

Dil Tadapta Hai Tere Khat Parh Kar
Ab Tere Khat Nahee Parhuun Ga Mein

Yun to apne qasidaan-e-dil ke paas,
Jane kis kis ke liye peghaam hain,
Jo likhe jaate rahe aur’on ke naam,
Mere woh khat bhi tumhare naam hain..

Nashaa-e-Naaz Ne Be-Haal Kia Hai Tum Ko
Apne Hee Zor Mein Kamzor Hoi Jaati Ho

Mein Koi Aag Nahee, Aach Nahee, Dhoop Nahee
Kiun Paseenay Mein Sharaabor Hoi Jaati Ho ?

Zakham-e Umeed Bhar Gaya Kab Ka,
Qais Tou Apne Ghar Gaya Kab Ka.

Ab Tou Mu Apna Mat Dikhaao Mujhe,
Naa-siho Main Sudhar Gaya Kab Ka.

Aap Ab Poochne Ko Aaye Hain,
Dil Meri Jaan Mar Gaya Kab Ka.

Aap Ik Aur Neend Le Lijiye,
Kaafila Kooch Kar Gaya Kab Ka.

Mera Fehrist Se Nikaal Do Naam,
Main Tou Khud Se Mukar Gaya Kab Ka.

Nazar heraan, dil veeran, mera jee nahin lagta,
Bichar ke tum se meri jaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Koi bhi to nahin hai jo, pukare raah main mujh ko,
Hoon mein be-naam ik insaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Hai aik inbwa qadmon ka rawaa’n in shahrahon per,
Nahin meri koi pehchaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Jahan milte they hum tum aur jahan mil kar bicharte they,
Na woh dar hai, na woh dalaa’n, mera jee nahin lagta,

Hon pehchane huye chehre to jee ko aas rehti hai,
Hon chehre hijar ke anjaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Yeh saara sheher ik dasht-e-hajoom be-niazi hai,
Yahan ka shor hai veeraan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Woh aalam hai ke jese mein koi hum’naam hoon apna,
Na hir’maan hai na woh darmaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Kahin sar hai kahin sauda, kahin wehshat kahin sehra,
Kahin main hoon, kahin samaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Mere hi sheher mein, mere mohahalley mein, mere ghar mein,
Bula lo tum mehmaan, mera jee nahin lagta

Main tum ko bhool jaon, bhoolne ka dukh na bhoolon ga,
Nahin hai khail yeh asaaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Koi paimaa’n pura ho nahin sakta magar phir bhi,
Karo taaza koi paimaa’n, mera jee nahin lagta,

Kuch aesa hai ke jese mein yahan hoon aik zindgani,
Hain saare log zindaa’n baan’n, mera jee nahin lagta..

Dil Tha Darham Aur Barham Raaigaan
Thay Tumhaari Zulf Ke Kham Raaigaan

Apni Saari Aarzooain Theen Faraib
Apnay Khwaabon Ka Tha Aalam Raaigaan

“Jhon” Shayad Kuch Nahee Kuch Bhi Nahee
Hai Dawaam Ik Weham Aur Dam Raaigaan

Zindagi Bas Raaigaani Hee Tou Hai
Mein Bohat Khush Hun Ke Thay Ham Raaigaan

Ham Rasaa Aur Naarsaa Kuch Bhee Nahee Thay
Yaani “Jhon” Aur Fahiya Kuch Bhee Na Thay

Kub Os Ka Visaal Chahye Tha ?????
Bas Ik Khayaal Chahye Tha…………..

Kub Dil Ko Jawab Se Garz Thee ???
Honton Ko Sawaal Chahye Tha…….

Ek Chehra Saada Tha Jo Ham Ko….
Be Masl-o-Misaal Chahye Tha……..

Ik Qarb Mein Zaat-o-Zindagi Hain..
Mumkin Ko Muhaal Chahye Tha…..

Mein Kia Hun Bas Ik Malaal-e-Maazi
Os Shaks Ko Haal Chahye Tha…………

Hum Tum Jo Bichar Gaye Hain Hum Ko
Kuch Din Tou Malaal Chahye Tha………!

Tum Jab Aao Gi Tou Khoya Hua Paao Gi Mujhey
Meri Tanhaayi Mein Khwaabon Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahi

Meray Kamray Ko Sajaanay Ki Tamanna Hai Tumhain ?
Meray Kamray Mein Kitaabon Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahi

In Kitaabon Ne Barra Zulm Kiya Hai Mujh Par
In Mein Ik Ramz Hai Jisme Ramz Ka Maara Hua Zehen

Muzda-e-Ishrat-e-Anjaam Nahi Paa Sakta
Zindagi Mein Kabhi Aaram Nahi Paa Sakta

Hum Rahay Per Nahee Rahay Aabaad
Yaad Ke Ghar Nahee Rahay Aabaad

Kitni Aankhain Howin Halaak-e-Nazar
Kitnay Manzar Nahee Rahay Aabaad

Hum Ke Ay Dil Thay Sakhan Sir Taa Paa
Hum Labon Pe Nahee Rahay Aabaad

Sheher-e-Dil Mein Ajab Mohallay Thay
In Mein Aksar Nahee Rahay Aabaad

Jaanay Kia Waaqiya Howa Kiun Loog ????
Apnay Andar Nahee Rahay Aabaad

Har Baar Mere Saamnay Aati Rahi Ho Tum
Har Baar Tum Se Mil Ke Bicharta Raha Hun Mein

Tum Kon Ho Ye Khud Bhee Nahee Jaanti Ho Tum
Mein Kon Hun Ye Khud Bhee Nahee Jaanta Hun Mein

Tum Mujh Ko Jaan Kar Hee Padi Ho Azaab Mein
Aur Is Tarah Khud Apni Sazaa Ban Gayaa Hun Mein
