Jism Ke Jazeeray Mein, Ye Jo Dil Ki Vaadi Hai
Is Pe Raaj Hai Jis Ka, TU Wo Shehzaadi Hai

Apnay Dar Pe Sajdon Ki Raah Kia Dikha Di Hai
TU Ne Mere Maathay Per Zindagi Sajaa Di Hai

Tujh Ko Bhoolna Chaahon, Aur Shikast Khaa Jaon
Kitni Be-Waqar Apni Quwwat-e-Iraadi Hai

Justuju Ke Sehraa Mein Ab Kahan Koi Aanchal ?
Mein Ne Apni Chhaon Bhi Dhoop Mein Ganwa Di Hai

Yaad Kar Ay Taaj Kubhi Tu Bhi Os Mohabbat Ko
Jis Ne Tere Marmar Ko Chaandni Pila Di Hai

Mera Saath Kia Dega Shaikh Barsar-e-Mehfil ?
Wo TOu Chhup Ke Baichaarah Jhoomnay Ka Aadi Hai

Dost Sab Qateel Apnay Tul Gaye Raqaabat Per
Mein Ne Koi Dil Ki Baat Jub Unhain Suna Di Hai

Saltanat Dil Mein Hee Nahi Oski
Aasmaan Tak Hai Sar-Zameen Oski

Phir Paharon Pe Barf Pighli Hai
Phir Damaknay Lagi Jabeen Oski

Dehaan Rakhna Har Ik Aahat Per
Shaayad Ubhray Sadaa Kaheen Oski

Ab Bhi Roshan Hai Zindagi Os Se
Ab Bhi Soorat Hai Dil-Nasheen Oski

Hijr Ki Rut Azaab Hai Mohsin
Aadatain Sab Badal Gayin Oski

Aqs-e-Gul Ter Jala Howa Thaa
Khwaabon Ka Nagar Jala Howa Tha

Ya Dast-e-Dua Na Uth Saka Tha
Ya Os Ka Asar Jalaa Howa Tha

Har Ghar Tha Luta Howa Kayi Baar
Aur Baar-e-Gard Jalaa Howa Tha

Ya Noch Lye Gaye Thay Pattay
Ya Saara Shajar Jalaa Howa Tha

Aankhon Ki Jaga Pe Aablay Thay
Aur Taar-e-Nazar Jalaa Howa Tha

Malba Tha Tamaam, Sheher-e-Khobi
Aur Ho Ke Khandar Jalaa Howa Tha

Teh-Khaana Jaan Mein Tujh Ko Rakhti
Laikin Mera Ghar Jalaa Howa Tha

Kuch Dair Ka Sokhta Na Tha Sheher
Ye Aath Peher Jala Howa Tha

Parwaaz Ka Itna Dar Qafas Mein
Tota Howa Par Jalaa Howa Tha

Manzil Thi Ghubaar-e-Raah Mein Guum
Aur Rakht-e-Safar Jalaa Howa Tha

Dil DhaRakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aaya
Wo Teri Yaad Thi Ab Yaad Aaya

Aaj Mushkil Tha Sambhalna Ay Dost
TU Musibat Main Ajab Yaad Aaya

Din Guzra Tha Bari Mushkil Se
Phir Tera Waada-e-Shab Yaad Aaya

Tera Bhula Hua Paimaan-e-Wafa
Mar Rahenge Gar Ab Yaad Aaya

Phir Loog Nazar Se Guzre
Phir Koi Sheher-e-Tarab Yaad Aaya

Haal-e-Dil Hum Bhi Sunate Laikin
Jab Wo Rukhsat Howa Tab Yaad Aaya

Baith Kar Saaya-e-Gul Main ‘Nasir’
Hum Bohat Roye Wo Jab Yaad Aaya

Khiyaal-o-Khawab Howa Barg-o-Baar Ka Mosam
Bechar Giya Teri Soorat, Bahaar Ka Mosam,

Kai Rotun Se Mere Neem Waa Dareechon Mein
Ther Giya Hai Tere Intezaar Ka Mosam,

Woh Narm Lehje Mein Kuch To kahe K Laot Aaye
Samaa`aton Ki Zameen Par Bahaar Ka Mosam,

Payaam Aaya Hai Pher Ek Saro Qamat ka
Mere Wajood Ko Khenche Hai Daar ka Mosam,

Woh Aag Hai K Meri Poor Poore Jalti Hai
Mere Badan Ko Mila Hai Chanaar Ka Mosam,

Rafaqaton Kay Nai Khawab Khushnuma Hain Magar
Guzar Chuka Hai Tere Etbaar Ka Mosam,

Hawaa Chali To nai Baarishen Bhi Saath Aaien
Zameen Kay Chehre Pe Aaya Hai Nikhaar Ka Mosam,

Woh Mera Naam Liye Jaaye Aur Main Us Ka Naam
Lahu Mein Goojh Raha Hai Pukaar Ka Mosam,

Qadam Rakhe Meri Khusbu K Ghar Ko Laota Aaye
Koi Bataaye Mujhe Kowe Yaar Ka Mosam,

Woh Roz Aake Mujeh Apna Piyaar Pehnaye
Nera Garoor Hai Bele Kay Haar Ka Mosam

Tere Tareeq-e-Muhabbat Pe Baar Haa Socha
Yeh Jabar Tha Kay Tere Ikhtiyaar Ka Mosam.

Thi Gar Aanay Mein Maslihat Haail
Yaad Aana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Dekhiye Ho Gayi Ghalat-Fehmi
Muskuraana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Lijiye Baat Hee Na Yaad Rahi
Gungunaana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Gungunaa Kar Meri Jawaan Ghazlain
Jhoom Jana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Mujh Ko Paa Kar Kisi Khayaal Mein Guum
Chhup Ke Aana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Uff Wo Zulfain, Wo Naaganain, Wo Hansi
Yun Daraana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Aur Aisay Eham Mazaaq Ke Baad
Rooth Jaana Koi Zaroori Tha ?

Kubhi Safar Tou Kubhi Shaam Le Gaya Mujh Se
Tumhara Dard Kayi Kaam Le Gaya Mujh Se

Mujhe Khabar Na Howi Aur Zamaana Jaatay Howay
Nazar Bachaa Ke Tera Naam Le Gaya Mujh Se

Ose Ziaada Zaroorat Thi Ghar Basaanay Ki
Wo Aake Mere Dar-o-Baam Le Gaya Mujh Se

Bhalaa Kahan Koi Juz Oske Milnay Waala Tha
Bas Ik Jurrat-e-Naakaam Le Gaya Mujh Se

Bas Ik Lamhay Ke Sach Jhoot Ke Awiz Farhat
Tamaam Umar Ka ilzaam Le Gaya Mujh Se

Chaak Daamanian Nahi Jateen
Dil Ki Nadaanian Nahi Jateen

Baam-o-Dar Jal Uthay Charaaghon Se
Ghar Ki Weraanian Nahi Jateen

Orh Li Hai Zameen Khud Pe Magar
Tan Ki Uryaanian Nahi Jateen

Hum Tou Chup Hain Magar Zamaanay Ki
Hahsar Saamaanian Nahi Jateen

Dekh Kar Aainay Mein Aks Apna
Oski Hairaanian Nahi jateen

Laakh Ujray Howay Hon Shahzaaday
Sar Se Sultaanian Nahi Jateen

Lashkar-e-Zulm Thak Gaya Mohsin
Apni Qurbaanian Nahi Jateen

Kisi ko apne amal ka hisaab kya dete ?
Sawaal saaray ghalat the jawaab kya dete ?

Kharab sadiyon ki be-khwabiyan theen aankhon main,
Ab in be-aant khalaaon main khwaab kya dete ?

Hawa ki tarha musafir thy dilbaron ke dil,
Unhain bus aik hi ghar ka azaab kya dete ?

Sharaab dil ki talab thi sharaab ke pehra main,
Hum itni tangi main us ko sharaab kya dete ?

Munir dasht shuroo se saraab-aasa tha,
Usss aainay ko tamanna ki aab kya dete ?

Ay Kaash Tujhe Aisa Ik Zakhm-e-Judaai Dun
Jab Tais Koi Chamkay Mein Tujhko Dikhai Dun

Jis Roz Kubhi Tera Deedaar Na Ho Paaye
Mein Apni Hee Aankhon Ko Naabeena Dikhai Dun

Magroor Hai TU Kitna Sirf Ik Sanam Ban Kar ?
TU Chaahay Tou Mein Tujhko Tan Man Ki Khudaai Dun

Tujh Sa Koi Dil Wala Mehsoos Karay Mujhko
Mein Geet Nahi Aisa Jo Sab Ko Sunaai Dun

Ik Umer Ke Baad Apnay Chit Chor Ko Pakra Hai
Mein Kaisay Qateel Osko Baanhon Se Rihaayi Dun ?
