Gham is kadar barhey ke mein ghabra ke pee gaya,
Is dil ki be-basi pe tarss kha ke pee gaya,
Thukra raha tha mujh ko bari der se jahan,
Main aaj sab jahan ko thukraa ke pee gaya..

Hai yeh baazaar jhoot ka bazaar,
Phir yehi jinss kyun na tolain hum,
Karke ik doosre se ehd-e-wafaa,
Aao kuch der jhoot bolain hum..

Naya ek rishta paida kyun karen hum
Bicharna hai to jhhagra kyon karen hum

Khamoshi se adaa ho rasm-e-duuri
Koi humgama-barpa kyon karen hum

Ye kaafi hai ke hum dushman nahi hain
Wafaadari ka daava kyon karen hum

Wafa, ikhlaas, qurbani, mohabbat
Ab inn lafzon ka peecha kyon karen hum

Suna dain ismat-e-Maryam ka qissa
Par ab iss baab ko waa kyon karen hum

Zulekhaa-e-Azeezaan baat ye hai
Bhala ghaatay ka sauda kyon karen hum

Hamari hi tamanna kyon karo tum
Tumhari hee tamanna kyon karen hum

Kia tha ehad jab lamhon mein hum nay
To saari umar eefa kyon karen hum

Nahi dunya ko jab parwaah hamari
To phir dunya ki parwaah kyon karen hum

Barehna hain Sar-e-Bazaar to kia
Bhala andhon se pardah kyon karen hum

Hain baashinday issi bassti ke hum bhi
So khud par bhi bharosa kyon karen hum

Pari rehnay do insaanon ki laashain
Zameen ka bojh halka kyon karen hum

Ye basti hai muslamaanon ki bassti
Yahan kaar-e-maseeeha kyon karen hum

Dil dard ki shidat se hoon gashta wasi para,
Is sheher mein mein phirta hai ik wehshi o awaara,
Shaayer hai ke aashir hai, Jogi hai ke banjaara,

Darwaza khula rakhna,

Seeney se ghataa uthey, ankhon se jharri barse,
Phaagan ka nahin badal, jo chaar ghari barse,
Barkha hai yeh bhadon ki, Barse to bari barse,

Darwaza khula rakhna,

Ankhon mein to ik aalam, Ankhon mein to dunya hai,
Honthon pe magar mohrain, Mu’n se nahin kehta hai,
Kis cheez ko kho betha, Kya dhoondne nikla hai,

Darwaza khula rakhna,

Haan thaam mohabbat ki gar thaam sake dori,
Sajan hai tera saajan, Ab tujh se to kya chori,
Yeh jis ki manaadi hai basti mein teri gori,

Darwaza khula rakhna,

Shikwon ko utha rakhna, Ankhon ko bacha rakhna,
Ik shamma dareechey ki chokhat pe jala rakhna,
Mayoor na phir jaye, Haan paas wafaa rakhna,

Darwaza khula rakhna,
Darwaza khula rakhna.

Dil hijr k dard se bojhal hai, ab aan milo to behter hai,
Is baat se hum ko kya matlab, yeh kaise ho yeh kyun kar ho?

Ik bheek k donon kaasay hain, ek pyaas k donon pyaase hai,
Hum khaiti hain, tum baadal ho, hum nadiya hain tum saagar ho!

Yeh dil hai k jalte seene mein, ik dard ka phora alhar sa,
Na gupt rahe na phoot bahe, koi marham ho koi nishtar hai,

Hum saanjh samay ki chhaya hain, tum charhti raat k chandar maan
Hum jaate hain, tum aate ho, phir mail ki soorat kyun kar ho!

Ab husn ka rutba aali hai, ab husn se sehra khaali hai,
Chal basti mein banjaara ban, chal nagri mein saudagar ho,

Jis cheez ki tujh ko nisbat hai, jis cheez ki tujh ko chahat hai,
Woh sona hai woh heera hai, woh maati ho ya kankar ho,

Ab Insha ji ko bulana kya, ab pyar k deep jalana kya
Jab dhoop aur chhaya ek se hon, jab din aur raat barabar ho,

Woh raaten chaand k saath gayin, woh baatein chaand k saath gayin,
Ab sukh k sapne kya dekhein, jab dukh ka sooraj sar par ho…

Dil k dariya ko kisi roz utar jana hai
Itna besimt na chal laut ke ghar jana hai

Us tak ati hai to har chiz thahar jati hai
Jaise pana hi use asl main mar jana hai

Bol ai sham-e-safar rang-e-rihai kya hai
Dil ko rukana hai k taron main thahar jana hai

Kaun ubharate hue mahatab ka rasta roke
Us ko har taur su-e-dasht-e-sahar jana hai

Main khila hun to isi khak main milna hai mujhe
Vo to khushbu hai use agle nagar jana hai

Vo tere husn ka jadu ho k mera gam-e-dil
Har musafir ko isi ghat utar jana hai

(Besimt:No Direction)(Mahatab:Moon)(Ubharte:Rising)(Ghat Utar:Go Through)

Yeh dil ka chor ke is ki zaroortain theen bohat,
Wagarna tark-e-taluq ki soortain theen bohat,

Miley to toot roye na khul ke batain keen,
Ke jese ab dilon mein Kudurtain theen bohat,

Bula diye hain tere gham ne dukh zamane ke,
Khuda nahin tha tou pathar ki moortain theen bohat,

Dareeda peerhano ka khayal kya ata,
Ameer sheher ki apni zarooratain theen bohat,

Faraz dil ko nigahon se ikhtlaaf raha,
Wagarna sheher mein hum-shakal soortain theen bohat.

(Chor:Something Fishy)(Tark-e-Taluq:Boycott)(Moortain:Idols)(Ikhtlaaf:Not Agreeing)

Dard kam hone laga aao ke kuch raat kate
Gham ki miaad badha jaao ke kuch raat kate

Hijr mein aah-o-baka sa kuhan hai lekin
Aaj yeh rasm hi dohrao ke kuch raat kate

Yun to tum roshni qalb-o-nazar ho lekin
Aaj who mojezah dikhlao ke kuch raat kate

Dil dukhaata hai who milkar bhi magar aaj ki raat
Usi be-dard ko le aao ke kuch raat kate

Dam ghuta jaata hai afsurda dili se yaaro
Koi afvah hi phailao ke kuch raat kate

Main bhi bekaar hun aur tum bhi ho viran bahot
Doston aaj na ghar jaao ke kuch raat kate

Chod aaye ho sarshaar use kyun NAASIR
Use phir ghar se bula lao ke kuch raat kate

(Miaad:Duration)(Mojezah:Something Unthinkable)(Afsurda:Sad)(Sarshaar:Alone)

Dil mein hum aik hi jazbe ko samoyen kese,
Ab tujhe paa ke yeh uljhan hai ke khoyen kese,

Zehen chalni jo kiya hai, To yeh majboori hai,
Jitne kaante hain, woh talwon mein piroyen kese,

Hum ne maana ke bohat der hai hashar aney tak,
Chaar janib teri aahat ho to soyen kese,

Kitni hasrat thi, Tujhe pass bitha ker rote,
Ab yeh yeh mushkil hai, Tere samne royen kese…

(Samoyen:Keep)(Chalni:Injured)(Talwon:Feet)(Hashar:Judgement Day)

Kya kahun tum se main ke kya hai ishq,
Jaan ka rog hai, bala hai ishq.

Ishq hi ishq hai jahaan dekho,
Saare aalam mein bhar raha hai ishq.

Ishq maashuq ishq aashiq hai,
Yaani apna hi mubtala hai ishq.

Ishq hai tarz-o-taur ishq ke taeen,
Kahin banda kahin Khuda hai ishq.

Kaun maqsad ko ishq bin pohuncha,
Aarzoo ishq wa mudda hai ishq.

Koi khwaahan nahin mahabbat ka,
Tu kahe jins-e-narawa hai ishq.

Mir ji zarad hote jaate hain,
Kya kahin tum ne bhi kiya hai ishq..
