Karoon ga kya jo mohabbat main ho geya nakaam,
Mujhe to aur koi kaam bhi nahin ata..

Aur bhi dukh hain zamane main mohabbat ke siwa,
Rahatain aur bhi hain vasl ki rahat ke siwa..

Tu ne kuch bhi na kaha ho jese,
Mere hi dil ki sadaa ho jese,

Yuun teri yaad se jee ghabraya,
Tu mujhe bhool geya ho jese,

Is tarah tujh se kiye hain shikwe,
Mujh ko apne se gila ho jese,

Tere honton ki haffi se larzish,
Ik haseen sher hua ho jese..

Azeez itna hi rakho ke jee sambhal jaye,
Ab is qadar bhi na chaho ke damm nikal jaye..

Mohabaton main dikhave ki dosti na bana,
Agar gale nahin milta to hath bhi na mila..

Sher ka soona chaman kuch aur khali ho geya,
Haye kese shakhss se indor khali ho geya,

Sarhadon ke is taraf bhi us ki rahat thi bohat,
Aesa lagta hai mera lahore khali ho geya,

Kesi kesi ronaqen thi us ke ik ik sher main,
Ik zamana gum hua, ik daur khali ho geya,

Poochte hain ab ghazal-abad ke deewar-o-dar,
Yeh bhara ghar kis tarah fil-for khali ho geya..

Mere ashaar sunana na sunane dena,
Jab main duniya se chala jaon to jane dena,

Sath in ke hai bohat khaak uRrayi maine,
In hawaon ko meri khaak uRrane dena,

Mat batana ke bikhar jayen to kya hota hai,
Nayi naslon ko naye khawb sajane dena,

Rahoon khamosh to khamosh hi rakhna mujh ko,
Aur agar shor machaun to shor machane dena,

Aur jaan lena ke naya hath bulata hai tumhe,
Agar koi hath chuRraye to chuRrane dena,

Ab to barish main bhi school khula karte hain,
Wahan mat bhejna bachon ko nahane dena,

Haan wohi baat jo maloom hai sab logon ko,
Main wohi baat chupaun ga chupane dena,

Waqt duniya ko sunaye ga kahani meri,
Kahe deta hoon mera naam na aane dena,

MEre jeene pe hansen log koi baat nahin,
Haan meri maut ka matam na manane dena..

Inhi patharon pe chal kar agar aa sako to aao,
Mere ghar ke raston main koi kehkashan nahin hai..

Tere qareeb aa ke baRri uljhanon main hoon,
Main dushmanon main hoon ke tere doston main hoon,

Mujh se guraiz-pa hai to har rasta badal,
Main sang-e-raah hoon to sabhi raston main hoon,

Tu aa chuka hai satah par kab se khabar nahin,
Be-dard main bhi inhi gehrayion main hoon,

Ae yaar khush-dayar tujhe kya khabar ke main,
Kab se udasiyon ke ghanay junglon main hoon,

Tu luuTt kar bhi ehl-e-tamanna ko khush nahin,
Main luTt kar bhi wafa ke inhin qafilon main hoon,

Badla na mere baad bhi mozuu-e-guftgu,
Main ja chuka hoon phir bhi teri mehfilon main hoon,

Mujh se bichaRr ke tu bhi roye ga umar bhar,
Yeh soch le ke main bhi teri khawhishon main hoon,

Tu hanss raha hai mujh pe mera haal dekh kar,
Aur phir bhi main shareek tere qehqahon main hoon,

Khud bhi misaal-e-lala-e-sehraa lahuu lahuu,
Aur khud faraz apne tamashiyon main hoon..

Qareeb aa shab-e-tanhai tujh se pyar karen,
Tamaam din ki thakan ka ilaaj tu hi sahi..
