un kahi batoon ko
un sunay lafzoon ko
qaid say rehai do
ke warna .....
guzray hoe kal ki
chubhan ki bazgasht ....
mairi koey unkahi
tumhari koey ansuni
aanay walay kal main
achanak kabhi takraye to
ankhain khoon rooain gi
zubaan larrkharay gi
zindigi dagmagaye gi.
jis chubhan pe zinda thay
ik pal main na rahi
to
usi pal mar jao gay....!

Wo khayal tha koi dhanak numa ya koi aks tha merey rubaru
jo mujhey har taraf sey tu laga, woh tu hi tha ya koi hu bahu

bayaan mein thi wo chaashni ke mehak raha tha harf harf
jesey khushbuon ki zubaan meiN koi kar raha ho guftagu

nahi kuch khabar ke kis gharri terey raastoN ka sira miley
terey naqsh-e-pa ki talaash meiN lagi to hey meri justuju

bas deikhna hey kis terha wo ji raha hey merey baghair
yun to dil mein hey wo aaj bhi jisey dhoondta hoon ko ba ko

yeh yaad tha ke duwa karoon par uthay rahey merey haath yun
jese khowishon ke hajoom mein kaheen kho gayi teri aarzu...!

Raqs me jugnu, duaon ka safar
Neem shab ki khamoshi or chasham-e-tar

Phir teri yadon ki qandelain jali
Jagmaga utha mera phir khwab ghar

Har taraf hen barzakhoon k munh khule
Zindagi he ya koi andhi qabar

Din dhale ye kanpti chiryon ka shor
Kat gira hoga koi borha shajar

Min bhatakti rooh hon or chaar soo
Rat, tanhai, hawa, anjan nagar....!

Teri baat mukammal thi na meri baat adhuri thi
ye takmeel adhore pan ki payar main buhat zarori thi

to ne yon mehsoos kiya he warna dil main kuch bhi na tha
bas ik teri chahat thi or wo bhi ghair shaori thi

payar k deep jalaye rakhna apni apni rahon par
teri bhi majbori thi or maire bhi majbori thi

mere samne beth k jaise us ne nazar andaaz kiya
kon kahe ga apne dil ki us k dil se doori thi

muhabbat heer aur ranjha tak hi to mahdood nahi
na mare kano main bali na us k haath main chorri thi...!
