Tanha, sar-e-anjuman khari thi
Main, apnay wisaal say bari thi

Haan phool thi, aur hawa ki zad par
Phir meri har aik pankhari thi

Ik umr talak safar kya tha
Manzil pay pohanch kay gir pari thi

Talib koi meri naffi ka tha
Aur shart yeh mot say kari thi

Woh aik hawa-e-taaza mein tha
Main, khwab-e-qadeem mein gari thi

Woh, khud ko Khuda samajh raha tha
Main, apnay huzoor mein khari thi

LAMS ZINDA RAHAY

Jotshi nay kaha''
teray maqsoom mein ik muhabbat hay
aisi muhabbat
azal say abad takk ki,sabb
chahton ka jo hasil hai,
ishq ki rooh bhi
jiss mein jiss mein jari-o-sarihai
[ik wehshiyana tarap aur kasak]
aur ulfat ki dheemi,mehekti howi
aanch bhi jiss ka hissa hai

teri qismqt mein aisi muhabbat hai
jo lams say mawra
wasl ki khwahishon say juda hai
dahnay hath ki aik rekha batati hai,
tujh ko mehboob kay wasl say
kuchh ta'aaluq nahin
uss ki chahat faqat uss ki chahat
tera muntaha-e-nazar ho
to behtar rahay ga''

meray dill say ik aah nikli,
magar uss muhabbat say kya faeyda?
main bhi jalti rahoon
woh bhi jalta rahay,
abb to mehboob ko devta jaan karr
ya khuda maan karr
poojnay ki kahani-fasana huwi

abb haqeeqat jo hai woh faqat wasl hai
uss ki aur meri hasti ka shahid
faqat lams hai!

meray maqsoom mein peyar hai to
meray hath mein ay Khuda!
wasl qayam rahay!!
lams zinda rahay!!!

SAZA

Ja'o!
nafrat karnay walon kay chehron ko dekho,
unn ki aankhein,dozakh kay darwazay hain
aur teh khanon mein jalti aag say
unn kay dilon ki deewarein kaali hain,

unn chehron ko dekho
jin kay daant,dahan say bahar
jhanktay rehtay hain
aur baat karein to munh say unn kay
kaff behta hai,

jin ka samna sacha'ei say
namumkin hai,
jo phoolon ko rond karr aagay
barhh jatay hain,
jin kay roshann daan pay kabhi parinday
baith kay geet nahin gaatay,

jin kay aangan mein ja karr
dhoop aur barishein iffat kho deti hain,

jin ki zubanein,khush lafzon say
nawaqif hain,
jin kay harf
kisi achhay ki sama'at say takra karr
pathar bann jatay hain

woh,jo logon ki khushyon ki mot pay
khushi manatay hain,
sa'el parr kutay chhortay hain,

aur apnay darwazon parr
kalay peelay ranng say
khoapriyan banwatay hain,

ja'o! aur unn chehron ko dekho
aaj say tumm
unn mein shamil ho!

Ham kisi chashm-e-fusoon saz mein rakhay huay hain
Khwab hain, khwab kay andaz mein rakhay huay hain

Taab anjam-e-muhabbat ki bhala kya latay
Natawan dil wahin, aaghaz mein rakhay huay hain

Jaltay jaen gay abhi aur chraghon say chragh
Jab teri anjuman-e-naaz mein rakhay huay hain

Ay hawa!aur khizaon kay ilawa kya hai
Waswasay kion teri aawaz mein rakhay huay hain?

Ik sitaray ko to main subh talak lay aaei,
Beshtar,raat kay aaghaz mein rakhay huay hain

Kat kay woh par to hwaon mein kahin ur bhi gaey
Dil yahin,hasrat-e-prwaz mein rakhay huay hain

Ham to hain aab-e-zar-e-ishq say likhay huay harf
Baish qeemat hain, buhat raaz mein rakhay huay hain

Shamma ki tarha yeh shola bhi tha ik raat ki baat
Ab khuli ham pay teri chashm-e-mdaraat ki baat

Ham ke jis baat pay tajj aay thay saari dunya
Teray nazdeek hamesha woh rahi baat ki baat

Teray altaaf ki barish say shraboor tha dil
Yaad parti hai yeh guzri hoei barsaat ki baat

Aankh mein jesay kisi khwab nagar ka manzar
Hoant par us kay kisi shehr-e-tilismaat ki baat

Khud framoshi ki ummid pay aa bethay thay
chhaer di too nay bhi aakhir,wohi halaat ki baat

Jesay ik umr pay chhaei ho syahi iss ki
Yeh gham-e-hijr hai kehnay ko to ik raat ki baat

PIYA BAAJ PYALA PIYA JA'AY NA

Mujhay aisi doori ki aadat nahin thi
ke jo zindgi ki ragon say
jawan khoon ki
aakhri boond takk khainch lay,
jism ka khaet banjar karay,

iss li'ay jabb say too
uss safar parr gaya
main nay aaiyna dekha nahin,
saari dunya say
aur aasman takk say parda kiya,

main nay sardi mein dhoop
aur garmi mein sa'ay ki parwa na ki,
zindgi ko na samjha kabhi zindgi,
aad'tann saans li!

bhook to marr ga'ei thi
juda'ei ki pehli hi sa'att mein
lekin abhi pyaas baaqi hai
aur aisi zalim, ke meray badan parr
babool ugg rahay hain,
zuban parr bhi kantay paray hain,

mujhay aisi doori ki aadat nahin hai
ke jo mot aur zindgi mein
ko'ei farq rehnay na day
phirr bhi yeh jaan lay---
garr mujhay chashma e aab e hewan
bhi mill ja'ay--- ikk boond
teray bina, mujh pe ja'yez nahin!

Dasht mein ik telism e aab kay saath
Door takk hamm gaey sarab kay saath

Phir khizan aaei aur khizan kay baad
Khaar khilnay lagay gulaab kay saath

Raat bharr toot'ti huwi neendein
Jurr gaein sehr e maahtaab kay saath

Hamm sada ki tarah bujhay huway thay
Woh tha pehli si aab o taab kay saath

Chhoti umron ki pehli pehli baat
Kuchh takalluf say,kuchh hijab kay saath

Aur phir yeh nigaah e kheera bhi
Doob jaey gi aaftaab kay saath

Raat ki tashtari mein rakhi hain
Meri aankhein kisi kay khwab kay saath

Uss gali mein na kesay koei jaey
Shaam ko iss dill e kharab kay saath

Yeh faqat rasm hi nahien ay doast!
Dill bhi shamil hai intasab kay saath
