yuun bhi ankhon main kisi khawb ka resha na bane
koi pehchaan na ho theek se chehra na bane

aesi tasveer bana rotay huye khush bhi lagoon
gham ki tarseel to ho gham ka tamasha na bane

khawhish ka ehtraam to kar hi nahin raha
is dil main jis ki qabar hai mar hi nahin raha

qadmon ne kha liye hai jahan bhar ke raste
manzil kise kahoon ke safar hi nahin raha

puri hui hai tegh chalane ki arzu
ab jab mere hareef ka sar hi nahin raha

kis se karoon ga apni aziyat ka hal talab
is sheher main to koi shajar hi nahin raha

yeh jo koi bhi nasha na hone ka nasha hai
sadiyan guzar gayi hain utar hi nahin raha

badan ka ramzz samajh rooh ka ishara samajh
mujhe samajh na samajh dukh mera khudara samajh

tujhe hum aur kisi na ka hone dain ge kabhi
tu bhhaa gaya hai humen khud ko ab hamara samajh

jo teergi main tujhe kuch dikhayi deta nahin
main chahta hoon meri baat ko dobara samajh

ke main to apne bhi kuch kaam aa nahin paya
tujhe yeh kis ne kaha tha mujhe sahara samajh

yeh kargah e tilismaat hai yahan sayyad
khasaara naffa samajh, naffa ko khasaara samajh

ghar ki tameer ki bunyaad se pehchante hain
log mujh ko dil e barbaad se pehchante hain

naam tabdeel karo shakal badal lao bhale
hum to har zeher ko ajdaad se pehchante hain

dusron ke liye woh log maseeha hon ge
hum jinhe maut ki ijaad se pehchante hain

kitna yakta hai faqeeri main taaruf mera
log mujh ko meri faryaad se pehchante hain

tum kya jano us darya par kya guzri
tum ne to bas paani bharna choRr diya

sabhi zaabte mere ikhteyar ke le gaya
woh gaya to log meri qataar ke le gaya

mera bojh kum to hua magar yeh bhi dekhiye
meri shaakh se koi phall utaar ke le gaya

meri zaat main kahin hairaton ka nishaan nahin
yeh tu kin jaghon se mujhe guzaar ke le gaya

main tere husool se door tha faqat ik qadam
wahin koi apni taraf pukaar ke le gaya

abhi thak ke soya tha zindagi ke safar se main
tera hashr lamhe mere qaraar ke le gaya

jane kis ki thi khataa yaad nahin
hum huye kese judaa yaar nahin

aik shola sa uTha tha dil main
jane kis ki thi sadaa yaad nahin

aik naghma sa suna tha maine
kon tha shola navaa yaad nahin

roz dohraate they afsana-e-dil
kis tarah bhool gaya yaad nahin

ik faqat yaad hain jana un ka
aur kuch is ke siwa yaad nahin

tu meri jaan-e-tamana thi kabhi
ae meri jaan-e-wafa yaad nahin

haal-e-dil kaise tabassum ho bayan
jaane kya yaad hai kya yaad nahin

palak pe Thehra hua namm sanbhaalta hai mujhe
yeh intezar bhi kya kamm sanbhaalta hai mujhe

kabhi gumaan na karna ke main akela hoon
bichaRrne wale tera gham sanbhaalta hai mujhe

chuRra ke hath mera sabar aazmata hai
gale laga ke phir aikdum sanbhaalta hai mujhe

gham-e-hussain mera gham nihaal karta hai
misal-e-dost moharram sanbhaalta hai mujhe

jo hijr o visaal ke mabain aik mausam hai
udasiyon ka woh mausam sanbhaalta hai mujhe

sanbhaalta hai mujhe kuch yeh kaar-e-girya aur
tera gulaab bhi baham sanbhaalta hai mujhe

sitara-war jale phir bujha diye gaye hum
phir is ke baad nazar se giraa diye gaye hum

azeez thay humen nau-varidan-e-kucha-e-ishq
so peeche haTte gaye rasta diye gaye hum

shikast o fateh ke sab faisle huye kahin aur
misal-e-maal-e-ghaneemat luTa diye gaye hum

zameen farsh-e-gul-o-lala se sajayi gayi
phir is zameen ki amanat bana diye gaye hum

duayen yaad kara di gayi theen bachpan main
so zakhm khate rahe aur dua diye gaye hum

yeh tum pe ghussa tha jo khud pe waar kar rahe hain
hum aik teer se do do shikaar kar rahe hain
