kanto ki chobhan mein bhi hardam
dekha hai gulab ko haste hi
samjha bhi koi kis haal mein woh
din apne gujara karte hai
bistar pe sikandar ko dekha marte
toh koi yoon bol uthaa
duniya ko haranay wale bhi
taqdeer se haara karte hain

navard-e-ishq mein kya hua kya bataye hum
kabhi humne yu khud ko haarta naa dekha

na bolo mere ishq ko aajmane ko
har dua arsh tak jati hai aasar lane ko

kehta hai duniya ko chhod dega, humein
mud ke dekhe baar-baar, ghabraaye bhi
yeh kaisa khuda hai mere dosto...
khud hi lagaaye aag, khud hi bhujaaye bhi...

ab ke agar tu mile to hum tujhse
aise liptien teri kbaa ho jaayien
bandgi hum ne chhod di hai “ishq”
kya karien log jab khuda ho jaayien

ishq bhi khel hai nasebo ka
khaak ho jayien ki miyan ho jaayien

iss se pehle ki bewafa ho jaayien
kyon na ae dost hum judaa ho jayien
tu bhi heeray se ban gaya pathar
hum bhi kal jaane kya se kya ho jayien

baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi toh na thi
jaisi ab hai teri mehfil aisi toh na thi

ek aisa ghar chahiye mujhko
jis ki fazaa mastana ho
ek kone mein ghazal ki mehfil
ek kone mein mehkhana ho

aisa ghar jis ke darwaze
bandh na ho insaano par
sheikh-o-baheman,rind-o-sharabi
sab ka aana jaana ho

ek takhti angoor ke paani se
likh kar dar par rakh do
iss ghar mein woh aaye jisko
subha talak na jaana ho

jo meh-khaar yahna aata hai
apna mehmaa hota hai
woh bazaar mein jaa ke pee lay
jisko daam chukana ho

“payasein hai”- honto se kehna
kitna hai aasaan “zafar”
muskil uss dam aati hai
jab ankho se samjhana ho

apni parwaaz-e-takhayyull thi zamane se juda
jis jagah koi na pahuncha wahan tak pahunche
main samajhti hoon har dil mein khuda rehta hai
mera paigham mohabat hai jahan tak pahunche

kaise samjhanu dil-e-hasarat-nasib ko apne
ke sab kuch milta nahi chah lene se iss zamane mein

Kabhi sochte hai tumhe hum bhula de
Kabhi sochte hai tumhe yaad kar lein
Kabhi hum judai ke sadme uthaa lein
Kabhi hum akele mein fariyaad kar lein
Ye vafa kya hai ek dhoka hai
Karne walo ko kissne roka hai
Jhoothe wade hai jhoothi kasmhe hai
Log kehte hai jhoothi rasme hain
Yahan beasar hain saadien sabi
Yahan sab muhabat mein naakam hain
Yahan chahato ka gujara nahi
Ye galiaan ye koonche toh badnam hain
lekin………..
Dil ka kya karien sahib hum tumhi pe marte hai
Jurm bas itna hai tumse pyar karte hain

be'hiss hai yahan log bhala soch ke karna
iss daurr mein logon se wafa soch ke karna
ek baar jo roothay toh manna tum na sako gay
hum jaise diwano ko khafa soch ke karna
gul shaakh say bichray toh kahin ka nahi rehta
tum jaat meri khud se juda soch ke karna

nahi nighah mein manzil tau joost-joo hi sahi
nahi wesaal muyaser toh arzoo hi sahi

Mujhe tumse mohabat ho gai hai
Ye duniya khubsurat ho gayi hai
Khuda se roz tumhe mangte hai
Meri chahat ibaadat ho gai hai
Bahut din se tumhien dekha nahi hai
Chale aao ki mudat ho gai hai

Log har mod pe ruk ruk ke sambhalte kyu hai
Itna darte hai to phir ghar se nikalte kyu hai
Need se mera taluk he nahi barsoon se
Khawab meri chath pe tehlatay kyu hai
Mod hota hai jawani ka sambhalne ke liye
Aur sab log yahin aa ke phislte kyu hai

ye mujhe chain kyu nahi milta ya rab
ek hi shaks tha iss jahan mai kya…

nikal kar kaaba se agar milta na mai_khana
toh thukraye huye insa khuda jaane kahan jaate

tum manna lo,pyar se aakhri baar
jhooth se hi, hamari khatir hamen
ki ja rahe hai, hamne phir
teri nazaro ko kabhi nazar nahi aanaa...

shab-e-wasal bhi mujhko rote hi gujari
jo yaad aai roj-e-judai ki baatien

bosa tere lab ka marj-e-gam ki dawa hai
kyu aur ko deta hai ki bimaar toh mein hun

koi toh aisa ghar hota jahan se pyar mil jaata
wahi begaane chahre hai, jaha pohanch jidhar jaayen

hamen kya kaam jo nahak sahara gairo ka dhoonde
sahara ya khuda hi ka kuch aisa ki kya kahiye !

barabar hai pareshani mein hum aur baal julfo ke
woh aksar tere muh lagte hai humse woh hi achche hai

bhali karte burai hoti hai
muh se nikali parai hoti hai
ae zafar ! mera yaar jidhar phirta hai
uss taraf sab khudai hoti hai

aap ka ashiana dil mein basa rakha hai
aap ki yadon ko seenay se laga rakha hai
pataa nahi yaad aate hai aap hi kyu
waise dost to humne auron ko bhi bana rakha hai

apni ankhon ke samandar main utar jaane de
tera mujrim hun mujhe doub ke mar jaane de
zakham kitne teri chahat se mile hain mujhko
sochta hun kahoon tujhse,magar jaane de

hum aas lagay baithe hai
tum vada kar ke bhool gaye
ya surat aa ke dikha jao
ya keh do humse pyar nahi

koi hasse toh tujhe gam lagay hassi na lage
dil-lagi bhi tere dil ko dil-lagi na lage
tu roz roya kare uth ke chand raato mein
khuda kare ke tera mere bagaiir ji na lage

woh hai chahe dushman mere sabar-o-karar ka
na dekhon jab talak ussko nahi karar mujhe

Sunna hai rabt hai us ko kharab hallon say
So apne aap ko barbad kar ke dekhtay hain……….

Jinhe chaon mein he rakha gaya
woh pattian na kabhi hari hoi
unnhe dhoop bhi aani chahiye
jinhe badloon ki talaash hai

Unki taarif kya poochte ho
Umaar sari gunaho mein gujri
Parsa ban rahe hai wo aise
Jaise Ganga nahiye huye hai

samne unn ke muh siye khadi rahi 'henna'
sach pyar kitna gharib hota hai !!

nazare aaine se milata toh hoga
kabhi woh bhi ghunghat uthata toh hoga
nahi mujhko dekhe bhala udhar jane wala
magar dil mein aanso bahata toh hoga
koi kyu lagata hai phere yahan ke
kabhi yeh khayal ussko aata toh hoga

dil mera le lene ki khatri minate kya kya na ki
aise badle mere sanam matlab nikal jaane ke baad !!

raat kis tarah yeh humne bitaai hogi
baat yeh unnke ji mein bhi toh aayi hogi
tadpi hogi koi bijli bhi toh uss dil mein kabhi
koi barsaat unn ankho mein bhi chahi hogi
kahan hum aur kahan aap se milne ka khayal
kisi dushman ne be-paar ki udai hogi !

tofaan koi uthe na koi ahtzaar se
darta hoon tere shahr ke rasm-o-riwaaz se !!

woh rooth ke gumshum se banay baithe hai
sayyad mere marne ki khabar chokaa de unnhe !

zamana ho gaya ankho ka khel chalte hoye
galay se aaj toh lagiye ki ja raha hun main !
