yeh keh kr aaj oss sy b tal'luk toor aya ho

meri jaan muj ko ziddi larkiaan acchi nai lagtiin

nazar andaz krny ki saza deni thi tuj ko

teray dil ma uter jana zaroori ho gya tha

uthnay sy uthi hy na uthanay sy uthi hy

bethi hoi mehfil teray janay sy uthi hy

u kis terha katay ga kari dhoop ka safar

sar pe khiyal e yaar ki chader e lay chalain

na aana meri kabar pe hamrah e raqeeban

murdoon ko musliman jalaya nai krty

yeh sard raat, yeh neend ka bojh, yeh awargi

hum apny shehar ma hotay to ghar gaye hotay

or kia doon ma apni wafaoon ka sila

ab meray haal pe hanstay hain teray shehar k log

ghar ki tameer chahay jesi ho

oss ma ronay ki kuch jagha rakhna

u he mosam ki ada daikh k yaad aya

kis kadar jaldi badal jatay hain insan jana

na milay zehar to apna e lahoo peetay hain

jaam khali nai rehtay kabi sukratoon k

na khuda e mila, na wisal e sanam

na edher k rahay na udher k rahay

u dekhtay rehna osy accha nai mohsin

wo kanch ka pekar hy to pather teri ankhain

nama bar too e bta too ne to dekhay hoon gy

kesay hotay hain wo khat, jin k jawab atay hain

agar bazi ishk ki bazi hy jo chaho laga doo darr kesa

agar jeet gaye to kia kehna, haray b to bazi maat nai

gharoon pe naam thy namoon k sath ohday thy

bohat talash kia koi aadmi nai mila

khuda ki itni bari kainaat main ma ne

bas aik shaks ko manga mujhe wohe na mila

yeh na thi hamari kismat k wisal e yaar hota

agar or jeetay rehtay yahi intazar hota

aaj insan ka chehra to hy sooraj ki terha

rooh ma ghoor andhairoon k siwa kuch b nai

yaad hy ab tak mujhe wo bad hawasi ka saman

teray pehlay khat ko ghantoon choomta rehta tha ma

utha kr choom lee hain chand murjhai hoi kaliaan

na aye tum to u jashan e baharan kr lia ma ne

yeh teri pyaar ki batain fakat kissay puranay hain

bhala kachay gharay pe kon darya paar krta hy

wo bachpanay ki neend to ab khawab ho gai

kia umer thi k raat hoi or soo gaye

yeh saniha b mohabbat ma barha guzra

k oss ne haal b pocha to ankh bhar aai

roya hy iss kadar k ab ankhain gulab hain

wo shaks rooth kr b nasheela dekhai dy

wo muj ko choor gya to mujhe yaqeen aya

koi b shaks zaroori nai kisi k liye

wo to khushboo hy hawaoon ma bikher jaye ga

masla phool ka hy phool kidher jaye ga

yeh baat abi muj ko b maloom nai hy

pether edher atay hain odher q nai jatay

aik pather edher aya hy to iss soch ma hoo

meri iss shehar ma kis kis sy shanasai hy

yeh dil bura sahi, sar e bazar to na keh

aakhir too iss makan ma kuch din raha to hy

u he umeed delatay hain zamanay walay

kab palat'tay hain bhala choor k janay walay

too kabi daikh jhulastay hoye sehra ma darakht

kesay jaltay hain wafaoon ko nibhanay walay

yaad oss ki itni khoob nai meer baaz aa

naadan phir wo ji sy bhulaya na jaye ga

yeh mohabbat ki kahani nai merti lakin

log kirdar nibhatay hoye mar jatay hain

naseh ko bulao mera eman sanbhalay

phir daikh lia oss ne mohabbat ki nazar sy

iss nahi ka koi ilaj nahi

roz kehtay hain aap aaj nahi

nikal he aati hy koi na koi gunjaish

kisi ka ishk kabi aakhri nai hota

onn ankhoon ki sewa kr k hum ne jadoo seekh lia

jab b tabiyat ghabrati hy pather k ho jatay hain

yahan ma ziker nai kr raha makeenoon ka

kabi kabi dar o dewar marne lagtay hain

nakam e ishk hoon so mera dekhna b daikh

kam dekhta ho or ghazab dekhta ho ma

likhna meray mizar k katbay pe yeh haroof

merhoom zingdi ki hirasat ma marr gya

ek shaks kr raha hy abi tak wafa ka ziker

kaash iss zuban daraz ka munh nooch lay koi

naseh tuj ko khaber kia k mohabbat kia hy

roz aa jata hy, samjata hy youn hay youn hay

yeh mohabbat k mohal tameer krna choor dy

ma b shehzada nai hon, too b shehzadi nai

wo din bher kuch nai krty han, ma aaram krta ho

wo apna kaam krty hain, ma apna kaam krta ho

itnay pyaray or haseen ho jitna socha ja sakta hy

lakin sochnay ki b had hy kitna socha ja sakta hy

nahi maroon ga kisi jang ma yeh soch lia

ma ab ki bar mohabbat ma mara jaoon ga

nashay ki terha mohabbat b tark hoti nahi

jo aik bar karay ga wo bar bar karay ga

u talwar ko daikh raha ho khairat sy

jesay yeh sarr pehli bar uterna hy

itna be-tab na ho muj sy bichernay k liye

tuj ko ankhoon sy nai dil sy juda krna hy

rait k zarroon sy uthay kehkeshan tak aa gaye

daikh teri justujoo ma hum kahan tak aa gaye

agar ma sans b ahista sy na loon tabish

meray badan ma dararain c pernain lagti hain

daikh kr hum ko jo chup chaap chala jata hy

kabi iss shaks sy hum pyaar kiya krty thy

na kr yaqeen itna hath ki lakeeroon pe

kismat onn ki b hoti hy jin k hath nai hotay

aflas mohabbat mehar o wafa sab rasmi rasmi batain hain

her shaks khudi ki masti ma khud apni khatir jeeta hy

yaroo yeh door roof e basarat ka door hy

andhi uthay to oss ko ghata keh lia kro

mayoosiaan, mehroomiaan, nakamiaan

zindgi soz e tamana k siwa kuch b nai

na ma haseen, na wo khubru magar ek sath

humain jo dekhay to wo dekhta e reh jaye

chalay ho sath to himmat na harna wasif

k minzaloon ka tasawur meray safar ma nai

too jo kehta hy teray jesay kai or b hain

tuj ko dawa hy to phir khud sa dekha aik he shaks

yeh jo hay phool hathaili pe meray issy phool na jan

mera dil jisam sy bahir b to ho sakta hy

yeh saray haseen chehray meri tasbih k danay hain

nazar sy girtay rehtay hain ibadat hoti rehti hay

ab to ishk krna k jesay nokri krna hoa

pochtay hain iss ma kitna tajurba rakhta ho main

na kro behas haar jao gy

husan itni bri daleel nahi

yeh log or terha baat e nai suntay

ma kia kroon mujhe majma lagana perta hy

yeh zamana pochta hy k teray rafeeq b thy

ma kis zuban sy kahoon han magar karaye k

yeh jo pather hy aadmi tha kabi

iss ko kehtay hain intazar miaan

nahi nahi yeh khaber dushmanoon ne di ho gi

wo aye, aa k chalay b gaye, milay b nai

yani tarteeb e karam ka b saleeka tha osy

oss ne pather b uthaya mujhe pagal kr k

yeh guroor e husan hy ya koi tarz e khaas teri

k kisi sy kuch na sun'na na kisi ko kuch btana

yeh agar hy hoo teri to yeh mera b mashgila hy

kabi iss dy dil lagana, kabi oss sy dil lagana

yeh sach hy ma tujhe kehta tha zindgi apni

or aaj tuj sy bezar hoon zindgi ki terha

yeh soch kr ma aakhri saff pe chalay gya

shaid wo shaks door sy accha dekhai dy

u b hum door door rehtay thy u b seenoon ma kuch qadoorat thi

tum ne rasmann bhula dia werna iss takaluf ki kia zaroorat thi

abi bhoola nahi ma apni anperh maa ka wo jumla

k beta ilam ki dolat meri sansoon sy pyari hy

ek haqeeqat sahi firdoos ma hooroon ka wajood

husan e insan sy nimat loon to wahan tak dekhoon

nishani jo tumhain di thi juda hotay hoye ma ne

pehan k aa wohe kangan tujhe dil yaad krta hy

nukta waroon ne hum ko sujaya khaas bano or aam raho

mehfil mehfil suhbat rakho, duniya ma gum naam raho

aya tha emthan ma mazmoon husan per

perchay pe sab ne chehra tumhara bna diya

wo aainay ko b kharit ma daal deta hy

kisi kisi ko khuda yeh kamal deta hy

yaqeen jan k aglay janum ki aamad per

bana jo too kabi ranjha to heer hum hoon gy

yahi hy na tumhain hum sy bicher janay ki jaldi hy

kabi milna tumharay maslay ka hal nikalain gy

mujhe to or koi kaam b nahi aata

tum na haq naraz hoye ho, werna may khanay ka pta

hum ne her oss shaks sy pocha jis k nain nasheelay thy

yeh door wo hy k bethay raho chairag talay

sabi ko bazam ma dekho magar dekhai na do

yeh apna ishk zafar reh gya dharay ka dhara

karaya dar achanak makan choor gya

u to meray khuloos ki keemat b kam na thi

kuch kam shanas log thy dolat pe mar gaye

hum sy ek bar b jeeta hy na jeetay ga koi

wo to hum jaan k khaa letay hain maatain aksar

wo milnay aa rahay hain, jald laoo shaam ka manzar

utha kr toor dala aaina husan e raqabat sy

dil e be tab qayamat na utha di too ne

wo tha fasala dua or mustajabi ma k dhoop mangnay jatay to aber aa jata

lo chal diye wo hum ko tasali diye bagair

ek chand chup gya hy ujala kiye bagair

rodad e mohabbat kya kahiye kuch yaad rahi kuch bhool gaye

yazdan ne muskra k bri dair ma likha

ek lafz, arzoo meray dil ki kitab per

roz miltay hain dareechay ma naye phool mujhe

choor jata hy koi roz nishani apni

wohe din raat hain meray wohe bas khawab hain meray

ab faisla naseeb pe chorain jo ho so ho

ab to hamaray hath ma kuch b nahi raha

nigah e yar ka kya hoi hoi na hoi

manga krain gy ab sy dua hijar e yaar ki

aakhir ko dushmani hy dua ko asar k sath

ab yahi tark e talluq k bahanay mangay

ashk behnay sy kam nahi hotay
