apni tareef bhi mayaar ghaTta deti hai
aese ho jao ke, tum kya ho, batana na paRre

kar loon ga jama daulat o zar, us ke baad kya ?
le loon ga shandaar sa ghar, , us ke baad kya ?

mai ki talab jo hogi to ban jaon ga main rind
kar loon ga maikadon ka safar, us ke baad kya ?

hoga jo shauq husn se raaz o niaz ka
kar loon ga gesuyon main sahar, us ke baad kya ?

sher o sukhan ki khoob sajaon ga mehfil-en
duniya main ho ga naam magar, us ke baad kya ?

mauj aye gi to saare jahan ki karoon ga sair
wapis wohi purana nagar, us ke baad kya ?

ik roz maut zeest ka dar khaTkhaTaye gi
bujh jaye ga charagh e qamar, us ke baad kya ?

uthi thi khaak, khaak se mil jaye gi wahin
phir us ke baad kis ko khabar, us ke baad kya ?

Kar mere zakham pe ik baar nazar
teri ankhon main shifa hai mere dost

maut bhi jis se rihaa kar na sake
zindagi aesi saza hai mere dost

kya bataon teri khamoshi se
kesa tufaan uTtha hai mere dost

meri ankhon main janaza hai koi
aur ashkon main dua hai mere dost

mere qatbe pe adaa kar dena
aik bossa jo qazaa hai mere dost

teri khatir mere daaman main faqat
sher hai, sher bhi kya hai mere dost

yeh mere zakhmi tabasum ka khumaar
tere lehje ki ataa hai mere dost

tere hone ka gumaan rehta hai
hijr bhi kesa nasha hai mere dost

jis se aasaab chaTtahte hain mere
tu ne woh shor suna hai mere dost

main tujhe bhoolna chahoon bhi to kyun
tu mera samt-numaa hai mere dost

tu bhi ik roz chala jaye ga
umar bhar kon ruka hai mere dost

maine chooma hai tere maathe ko
tu yeh samjha hai ke hawaa hai mere dost

aaj rone ka maza aye ga
aaj tu khul ke hansaa hai mere dost

asmaan jaise zameen se mil jaye
tu humen aese mila hai mere dost

ishq hi mere taaqub main nahin
aur bhi aik balaa hai mere dost

Ttees uTthi hai kahin andar se
zakhm kuch gehraa laga hai mere dost

chand nikla hai na tu aya hai
raat ne shikwa kiya hai mere dost

kum nahin ho rahi bechani meri
maine cigarette bhi piya hai mere dost

phir teri yaad ka nakhun aa kar
mere seene se laga hai mere dost

phir harey ho gaye cHaale dil ke
phir tujhe dekh liya hai mere dost

yaar tumhari halat se aese lagta hai
tum ne pehli bar museebat dekhi hai

kisi tarah se bhi kamzor kyun banaon usse
main apni beti ko beta nahin pukar-on ga

gira pathar uTthana paRr raha hai
talluq hai nibhaana paRr raha hai

aziyat hai yeh sanjeeda mizaaj-i
humen khud ko hansaana paRr raha hai

hum us ke paas hain saare ke saare
usse yeh bhi batana paRr raha hai

main neem shab main sitaron ko dekhta hi nahin
sau ishq jaisa mujhe koi masla hi nahin

woh shakhss jis se mujhe bepanah mohabbat hai
kabhi libas-e-bashar main mujhe mila hi nahin

bas aik baar usse muskurate dekha tha
koi nazara nigahon ko phir jacha hi nahin

ajeeb tarz ki mehroom-iyon se guzre hum
jo zindagi tha wohi zindagi main tha hi nahin

woh ankh jo uthi nahin kabhi hum par
woh aik teer jo hum par kabhi chala hi nahin

bas aik soz-e-daroon tha jo jalta bujhta raha
charagh-e-ashq sar-e-taak-e-chashm tha hi nahin

khud apne sath usse dekhna museebat hai
juda woh mujh se rahe, yeh juda museebat hai

bohat se qareeb se dekha hai ishq koi maine
bata raha hoon tujhe dostaa museebat hai

yeh habs-e-zaat yeh saye yeh dagmagati lau
meri namoon ko yeh aab-o-hawaa museebat hai

kiye huye to ho sar par sawaar us ko barar
tumhi kaho ge ik din yeh kya museebat hai

tere khawbon main mohabbat ki duhaayi doon ga
jab koi aur na ho ga to dikhayi doon ga

meri duniya main faqat aik khuda kaafi hai
dosto kitne khudaon ko khudayi doon ga

koi insan nazar aye to bulao us ko
use is daur main jeene pe badhaayi doon ga

dekh loon apne girebaaan hi main mu daal ke main
apne halaat pe kis kis ki buraayi doon ga

tum agar choRr gaye mujh ko to yun taRrpoon ga
sari duniya ko gham o dard judayi doon ga

teri hi rooh ka naghma hoon agar miTt bhi gaya
main tujhe dusri duniya se sunayi doon ga

zindagi ne libaas cheen liya
maut ne kam se kam kafan to diya

zindagi darbadar phiraati rahi
maut ne mustaqil watan to diya
