Tanha Bana Diya

Sabse chhupa kar jo wo dard muskura diya,
Uski hansi ne to aaj mujhko rula diya,

Lehje se uth raha tha har ek dard ka dhuan,
Chehra bata raha tha ke sab kuch gawa diya,

Awaaz mein thehrao tha aankho mein nami thi,
Or keh raha tha ke sab kuch bhula diya,

Khud bhi wo humse bichhad kar adhura saa ho gaya,
Mujhko bhi itne logo mein tanha bana diya....

Ye Aur Baat Hai

Meri har ik ada mein chhupi thi meri tamanna,
Tum ne mehsoos na ki ye aur baat hai,

Maine har dam tere hi khwab dekhe,
Mujhe tabeer na mili ye aur baat hai,

Maine jab bhi tujhse baat karna chahi,
Mujhe alfaaz na mile ye aur baat hai,

Main meri tamanna ke samandar mein door tak nikla,
Mujhe sahil na mila ye aur baat hai,

Qudrat ne likha tha tujhko meri tamanna mein,
Meri kismat mein naa likha tha ye aur baat hai...

Had Se Jyada

Jis shakhs se ki, wafa hamne jyada,
Uss shakss ne ki, zafa hamse jyada,

Kuch jurm ki lazzat ke tassavur ne ghera,
Qatil thi magar uski, ada had se jyada,

Muzrim to humein uske ravaiye ne banaya,
Bevazah mili humko, saza had se jyada,

Hum had se gujarne ke kayal nahi the,
Kyun aane lagi, yaad-e-kambhakt had se jyada,

Uss baat se to koi bhi, anjan nahi hai,
Kuch der ko hain, jaur-o-jafa had se jyada,

Aukat hi apni, na bhula baithun main ya rab,
Maqbool na kar meri, dua had se jyada,

Ghar baithe hi sab kuch jinhe mil jata hai,
Wo log hi karte hain, sada had se jyada.

Bhej Deta hai

Kabhi yaadein, kabhi sapne suhane bhej deta hai,
Mujhe aksar wo yaadon ke khajane bhej deta hai,

Me jab guzre dino ki talkhiyon ko bhool jata hoon,
Mujhe phir koi beete zamane bhej deta hai,

Kabhi kasmein, kabhi ehd-e-wafa ka housla de kar,
Mujhe wo zinda rehne k bahane bhej deta hai..!

Lout Aana

Udaas shamon ki siskiyon mein,
Kabhi jo meri awaaz sun'na,
To beete lamhon ko yaad kar ke,
Inhi fizaon main lout aana,

Tum aaya karte the khawab ban kar,
Kabhi mehkata gulab ban kar,
Main khushk honthon se ja pukarun,
In adaaon mein lout aana,

Meri wafaon ko paas rakhna,
Meri duaon ko paas rakhna,
Main khali hathon ko jab uthaun,
Meri duaon mein lout aana.

Main Kya Karta

Qadam qadam pe naya marhala tha kya karta,
Taweel hota gaya faasla main kya karta!

Her ek shakhs ko tha zaum-e rehbari kitna,
Bhatak raha tha mera qaafila main kya karta?

Gum-e-Hayaat, Gum-e-Ishq aur Gum-e-Janaan'
Ulajh gaya tha her ik silsila main kya karta!

Tumhare saath kise failse ki fursat thee,
Tumhari baad bhala faisla main kya karta.

Bahut sambhaal ke rakha tha Dil me raaz tera,
Wo ban ke ashk jo girne laga main kya karta.

Mujhi se maangne aayi wo le ke majboori,
Ab usse us ki jaffa ka Gilla main kya karta.

Wo aansuon ki zabaan' jaanti na thi meri,
Mujhe bayaan' ka na tha hosla main kya karta.

Maa

Andhere hain raste,
Dia le ke jana.
Mere aansuon ki,
Zia le ke jana.

Tumhe haadson se
Bacha legi hamesha,

Suno! Ghar se Maa ki dua le ke jana

Mujhe Tum Yaad Aate Ho.

Mukaddar ke sitaron par,
Zamanay ke isharon par,

Udasi ke kinaron par,
Kabhi viraan minaaron par,

Kabhi sunsan rahon main,
Kabhi hairan ankhon main,
Kabhi bejaan lamhon main,

Tumhari yad chupke se,
Koi sargoshi karti hai,
Yeh palken bheeg jati hain,
Do ansu toot girte hain,

Main palkon ko jhukata hoon,
Bazahir muskurata hoon,
Faqat itna hi keh pata hoon,
Mujhey kitna satate ho,

Mujhe tum yaad aate ho.

Sawal kitna ajeeb sa tha

Nazar me zulat badan main thandak
Jamal kitna ajeeb sa tha,

Main us ki chahat me ghar se nilka to
Haal kitna ajeeb sa tha,

Na mainne usse khat likhe na usne meri panah chahi,
Dono ko apni be khudi pe malal kitna ajeeb sa tha,

Wo apni raton me chand dekhe, main apni raton main us ko sochun,
Badalte lamhon me soch ka yeh, visaal kitna ajeeb sa tha,

Safar akele hi kaat lo ge, maine pochha to ro diya wo,
Jawab kitna ajeeb sa tha....
Sawal kitna ajeeb sa tha....

Woh kehti hai!

Woh kehti hai!
Batao, Be-sabab kyu rooth jaate ho?

Main kehta hun!
Zara mujh ko manao, acha lagta hai.

Woh kehti hai!
Mera dil tum se aakhir kyu nahi bharta?

Main kehta hun!
Mohabbat ki koi hadd nahi hoti.

Woh kehti hai!
Batao, Main tumhein kyu bha gai itni?
Main kehta hun!
Meri jaan haadse to ho hi jate hain.

Woh kehti hai!
Achanak main tumhein yun hi rula dun to?
Main kehta hun!
Mujhe darr hai ke tum bhi bheeg jaogi.
