Shajar Ke Haath Mein Ek Zard Phool Baaqi Hai

Shajar Ke Haath Mein Ek Zard Phool Baaqi Hai
Abhi Libaas-e-Musaafir Pe Dhool Baaqi Hai
Mere Qabeelay Mein Niklay Subhi Farokhtni
Na Koi Waada Na Koi Usool Baaqi Hai
Duroon-e-Sheher Gulaabon Ki Baa’r Khatam Howi
Kinaaray Sheher Puraani Babool Baaqi Hai
Hawa-e-Sheher-e-Sitam Ko Abhi Pata Na Chalay
Mere Dupattay Mein Ik Surkh Phool Baaqi Hai

Jab Aankh Mein Shaam Utre

Jab aankh mein shaam utre,
Palkon pe shafaq phooley,
Kajal ki tarah meri,
Ankh ko dhank choo’ley,
Us waqat koi us ko,
Aankh se meri dekhe,
Palkon se meri choomey..

Hawaa Se Jung Mein Hun, Be-Amaa.n Hun

Hawaa Se Jung Mein Hun, Be-Amaa.n Hun
Shikasta Kashtiyon Per Baadbaa.n Hun
Mein Sooraj Ki Tarah Hun Dhoop Orrhay
Aur Apne Aap Per Khud Saayebaa.n Hun
Mujhe Baarish Ki Chaahat Ne Dubooya
Mein Pukhta Sheher Ka Kacha Makaa.n Hun
Khud Apni Chaal Ulti Chalna Chaahun
Mein Apne Vaastay Khud Aasmaa.n Hun
Duaaein De Rahi Hun Dushmanon Ko
Ik Hamdard Per Na-Meherbaa.n Hun
Parindon Ko Dua Sikhla Rahi Hun
Mein Basti Chhorr, Jangal Ki Azaa.n Hun
Abhi Tasveer Meri Kia Banay Gi ?
Abhi Tou Canvas Per Ik Nishaa.n Hun

Ashk Aankh Mein Phir Atak Raha Hai

Ashk Aankh Mein Phir Atak Raha Hai
Kankar Sa Koi Khatak Raha Hai
Mein Os Ke Khayaal Se Gurezaan
Wo Meri Sadaa Jhatak Raha Hai
Tehreer Osi Ki Hai, Magar Dil
Khat Parhtay Howay Atak Raha Hai
Hain Phone Pe Kis Ke Saath Baatain
Aur Zehen Kahan Bhatak Raha Hai
Sadyon Se Safar Mein Hai Samandar
Saahil Pe Thakan Tapak Raha Hai
Ek Chaand Salaib-e-Shaakh-e-Gul Per
Baali Ki Tarah Latak Raha Hai

Theher Jaye, Magar Raat Katay

Theher Jaye, Magar Raat Katay
Koi Soorat Ho Ke Barsaat Katay
Khushbuuain Mujhko Qalam Karti Gayin
Shaakh Dar Shaakh Mere Haath Katay
Mouj-e-Gul Hai Ke Talwaar Koi
Darmiaan Se Hee Manajaat Katay
Harf Kiun Apne Ganwayein Jaa Kar
Baat Se Phele Jahan Baat Katay
Chaand ! Aa Mil Ke Manayein Ye Shab
Aaj Ki Raat Tere Saath Katay
Pooray Insaanon Mein Ghus Aayein Hain
Sar Katay, Jism Katay, Zaat Katay

Chaand Meri Tarah Pighalta Raha

Chaand Meri Tarah Pighalta Raha
Neend Mein Saari Raat Chalta Raha
Jaanay Kis Dukh Se Dil Girifta Tha
Mun Pe Baadal Ki Raakh Malta Raha
Mein Tou Paaon Ke Kaantay Chunti Rahi
Aur Wo Raasta Badalta Raha
Raat Galyon Mein Jub Bhatakti Thi
Koi Tou Tha Jo Saath Chalta Raha
Sard Rut Mein, Musaafiron Ke Lye
Payrr, Ban Kar Alaao, Jalta Raha
Mausami Bel Thi Mein Sookh Gayi
Wo Tanaawar Darakht, Phalta Raha
Dil, Mere Tan Ka Phool Sa Bacha
Patharon Ke Nagar Mein Palta Raha
Neend Hee Neend Mein Khilonay Lye
Khwaab Hee Khwaab Mein Behelta Raha

Khushi Ki Baat Hai Ya Dukh Ka Manzar..

Khushi ki baat hai ya dukh ka manzar dekh sakti hoon,
Teri awaaz ka chehra main chuu kar dekh sakti hoon,
Abhi tere labon pe zikar fasl-e-gul nahin aya,
Magar ik phool khilte apne andar dekh sakti hoon,
Kinaara dhoondne ki chaah tak mujh mein nahin hogi,
Main apne gird aik aesa samandar dekh sakti hoon,
Vasaal-o-hijar apne yaksaa’n* hain, woh manzar hai chahat mein,
Main aankhain band kar ke tujh ko aksar dekh sakti hoon,
Abhi tere siwaa duniyaa bhi hai maujood is dil main,
Main khud ko kiss tarah tere baraabar dekh sakti hoon..

Wo Merey Paon Ko Choney Jhuka Tha Jis Lamhey

Jagaa Sakey Na Terey Lub, Lakeer Aisi Thi
Humarey Bakht Ki Raikha Bhi Meer Aisi Thi
Ye Haath Chomey Gai, Phir Bhi Be-Gulaab Rahey
Jo Rutt Bhi Aai Khizaa.n K Safeer Aisi Thi
Wo Merey Pao.n Ko Choney Jhuka Tha Jis Lamhey
Jo Mangta Usey Deti Ameer Aisi Thi
Shahadatain Merey Huq Main Tamam Jaati Thee.n
Magar Khamosh They Munsif, Nazeer Aisi Thi
Kutar K Jaal Bhi Sayyad Ki Raza Ke Baghair
Tamaam Um’r Na Urti Aseer Aisi Thi
Phir Us Ke Baad Na Dekhey Visaal Ke Mausam
Judaiyo.n Ki Ghari Chashm Geer Aisi Thi
Bas Ik Nigah Mujhe Dekhta, Chala Jata
Us Aadmi Ki Mohabbat Faqeer Aisi thi
Rida K Saath Luterey Ko Zaad-e Raah Diya
Teri Firagh Dili Merey Veer Aisi Thi
Kabhi Na Chahney Walo.n Ka Khoo.n Baha Manga
Nigaar-e-Sheher-e-Sukhan Be-Zameer Aisi Thi

Khuli Aankhon Mein Sapna Jhaankta Hai

Khuli aankhon mein sapna jhaankta hai,
Woh soya hai ke kuch kuch jaagta hai,
Tere chahat ke bheegey junglon mein,
Mera tan man mor ban kar nachta hai,
Mujhe har kefiyat mein kyon na samjhey,
Woh mere sab hawaaley jaanta hai,
Main uss ki dastrass main hoon magar woh,
Mujhe meri razaa se mangta hai,
Kissi ke dheyaan main dooba hua dil,
Bahaaney se mujhe bhi taalta hai,
Sarrak ko chorr kar chalna parega,
Ke mere ghar ka kacchaa rasta hai..

Ab Aur Jeeney Ki Surat Nazar Nahin Ati

Ab aur jeeney ki surat nazar nahin ati,
Kisi tarah bhi achi khabar nazar nahin ati,
Ussi ke aas main hai dil ka hujraa tareek,
Woh roshni jo kabhi mere ghar mein nahin ati,
Woh meherbaan hai to mehraab-o-baam tak na rahe,
Yeh dhoop kyon pas-ey dar o deewar nahin ati,
Hayaat mein ab koi aesa morr nahin,
Ke jis ke baad teri rahguzar nazar nahin ati,
Qabooliyat ki hai gharri to us ko maang hi loon,
Ke yeh gharri kabhi baar-e-dagar nahin ati,
Saraaye khaana dunyiyaa main shaam hoti hai,
Musaafiron ko naveed-e-safar nazar nahin ati..

Ik Umar Ke Baad Us Ko Dekha

Ik umar ke baad us ko dekha,
Aankhon mein sawaal they hazaaron,
Honton pe magar wohi tabasum,
Chehrey pe likhi huyi udaasi,
Lehjey mein magar balaa ka thehrao,
Awaaz main goonjti judai,
Baanhen thi magar wisaal-e-samaan,
Simtti huyi baazuyon mein,
Taa’der mein sochti rahi thi,
Kis abr-e-gurez paa ki tarah,
Main kis shajar se katt gayi thi,
Kis chaaon ko tark kar diya tha,
Main us ke galey lagi huyi thi,
Woh ponchh raha tha mere aansu,
Lekin barri dair ho chuki thi..

Ab Bhala Chorh Ke Ghar Kia Kartay

Ab Bhala Chorh Ke Ghar Kia Kartay
Shaam Ke Waqt Safar Kia Kartay
Teri Masroofiatain Jaantay Hain
Apne Aanay Ki Khabar Kia Kartay
Jab Sitaaray Hee Nahi Mil Paaye
Le Ke Ham Shams-o-Qamar Kia Kartay
Wo Musaafir Hee Khuli Dhoop Ka Tha
Saaye Phaila Ke Shajar Kia Kartay
Khaak Hee Awwal-o-Aakhir Thehri
Kar Ke Zarray Ko Gohar Kia Kartay
Raaye Phele Se Bana Li TU Ne
Dil Mein Ab Ham Tere Ghar Kia Kartay
Ishq Ne Saaray Saleeqay Bakhshay
Husn Se Kasb-e-Hunar Kia Kartay

Wo Aks-e-Mauja-e-Gul Tha, Chaman Chaman Mein Raha

Wo Aks-e-Mauja-e-Gul Tha, Chaman Chaman Mein Raha
Wo Rang Rang Mein Utraa, Kiran Kiran Mein Raha
Wo Naam Haasil-e-Fun Ho Ke Mere Fun Mein Raha
Ke Rooh Ban Ke Meri Soch Ke Badan Mein Raha
Sakoon-e-Dil Ke Lye Mein Kahan Kahan Na Gayi
Magar Ye Dil, Ke Sadaa Oski Anjuman Mein Raha
Wo Sheher Waalon Ke Aagay Kaheen Mohazzib Tha
Wo Ek Shakhs Jo Sheheron Se Door Ban Mein Raha
Charaagh Bujhtay Rahay Aur Khwaab Jaltay Rahay
Ajeeb Tarz Ka Mausam Mere Watan Mein Raha

Ab Kaisi Pardah-Daari , Khabar Aam Ho Chuki

Ab Kaisi Pardah-Daari , Khabar Aam Ho Chuki
Maa Ki Rida Tou, Din Howe, Neelaam Ho Chuki
Ab Aasmaa.n Se Chadar-e Shab Aaye Bhi Tou Kiya
Be-Chadari Zameen Pe iLzaam Ho Chuki
Ujrey Howe Diyaar Pe Phir Kiun Nigah Hai
Is Kasht Per Tou Barish-e-Ikraam Ho Chuki
Sooraj Bhi Os Ko Dhoond Ke Wapas Chala Gaya
Ab Ham Bhi Ghar Ko Lout Chalain Shaam Ho Chuki
Shimley Sambhaaltey Hee Rahay Maslehat Pasand
Hona Tha Jis Ko Pyaar Main Bad-Naam Ho Chuki
Aankhain Hain Aur Subha Talak Tera Intezaar
Mishal Bad’dast Raat Terey Naam Ho Chuki
Koh-e-Nida Se Bhi Sukhan Utrey Agar, Tou Kiya
Na-Sameoo.n Main Hurmat-e-iLhaam Ho Chuki

Marney Se Bhi Pehle Mar Gaye They

 Marney se bhi pehle mar gaye they,

Jeeney se kuch aese dar gaye they,

Rastey mein jahan talak diye they,
Saarey mere hamsafar gaye they,

Aankhain abhi khul nahin saki thi’n,

Aur khawb mere bikhar gaye they,

Jab tak na khila tha us ka waada,

Mausam mere be’samar gaye they,

Ab tak wohhi nasha e paziraayi*,
 Kya jaaniye hum kidhar gaye they.

Rasta Hi Neya Hai, Na Main Anjaan Bohat Hoon

Rasta hi neya hai, na main anjaan bohat hoon,
Phir kuye’malaamat mein hoon, nadaan bohat hoon,
Ik umar jisey khawab ki manind hi dekha,
Chooney ko mila hai to pareshaan bohat hoon,
Mujh mein kabhi aahat ki tarah se koi aye,
Ik band gali ki tarah sunsaan bohat hoon,
Uljhen ke keyi baar abhi lafz se mafhoom,
Saada hai bohat woh, na main asaan bohat hoon..
