Ussi ishq say, ussi chah say, ussi pyar say, ussi maan say

Mere hath main koi gulab do, main bohat dinon se udas hoon

Tumhari aankhain kehti hain hisar-e-zaat say niklo

Tamanna meri ban jao, shab-e-barbaad say niklo

Kinara thaam lo dil ka bhula do her gila shikwa

Kabhi sachi hansi hans do punari yaad say niklo

Khayal-e-yaar acha hai magar jis nay wafa na ki

Palat ker phir sada na do, dar-e-faryad say niklo

Nahin koi muhabbat bhi, jijr rut bhi, raqabat bhi

To yeh dharka sa kya, kahiye, wehem ki ghaat say niklo

Sukhanwer hum say kehta hai saja lo ankh main kuch khwab

Dharakna dil ko sikhla do, amaawas raat say niklo

Nahin tum ko gawara ab hamara qurb to keh do

Hamaray karb ki choro, tum is gardaab say niklo

Sar-e-maqtal jo jatay ho, na ho darmandgi kuch bhi

Zamana daikh tham jaye, kuch is andaas say niklo

Hum jo pohonchay sar-e-maqtal to yeh manzar daikha

Sab say uncha tha jo sar, nok-e-sina per daikha

Hum say mut pooch keh kab chaand ubharta hai yahan

Hum nay suraj bhi teray sheher maian aa ker daikha

Pyaas yaaron ko ab us morr pay lay aai hai

Rait chamki to yeh samjhay keh samandar daikha

Aisay liptay hain dar-o-baam say ab kay jaisay

Hadson nay bari muddat main mera ghar daikha

Zindagi bhar na hua khatm qayamat ka azaab

Hum nay her saans main barpa naya mehshar daikha

Itna bay-his keh pighalta hi na tha baton say

Aadmi tha keh tarasha hua patthar daikha

Dukh hi aisa tha keh roya tera Mohsin warna

Gham chhupa ker usay hanstay huay aksar daikha

Mujhey arzoo e seher rahi yunhi raat bhar bari dair tak
Na bikhar sake na simat sake yunhi raat bhar bari dair tak

Hai bohat azaab aur akaily hum, shab e gham bhi meri taweel tar
Rahi zindagi bhi saraab aur rahi aankh tar bari dair tak

Yahan har taraf hai ajeeb samaan, sabhi khud pasand, sabhi khud numa
Dil e be-qaraaar ko na mila koi chara gar bari dair tak

Mujhay zindagi hai aziz tar isi wastey mery hamsafar
Mujhay qatra qatra pila zehr, jo karey asar bari dair tak

Na sakoon e jaan na shreek e gham mila is jahan mein chaar su
Teri yaad thi meray saath jo rahi dar ba dar bari dair tak

Yahan shehar e dil bhi udaas hai aur ujaar ujaar si rah guzar
Rahey teray baad dhwaan dhwaan meray baam o dar bari dair tak

Kya aah bharay koi
Jab aah nahin jati
Dil say bhi zara gehri
Aur arsh say kuch oonchi

Kya nazm likhay koi
Jab khwab ki qeemat mein
Aadarsh ki soorat mein
Kashkoal gada'ei ka
Shaa'ir ko diya jaey
Aur roak liya jaey
Jab shair utarnay say
Badal say zara oopar
Taaron say zara neechay

Kya khaak likhay koi
Jab khaak kay medaan par
Ungli ko hilanay say
Toofan nahin uth'ta
Jab shakh pay imkan ki
Is dasht-e-tamanna mein
Ik phool nahin khilta
Rahbar nahin ruktay
Mohoam si manzil par
Aankhon kay isharay say
Aur noor ki boondon ki
Bochhar nahin hoti

Ik neelay sitaray say

Jab dil kay bulaway par
Iss jheel kanaray par
Peghaam nahin aata
Ik door ka bashinda
Ik khwab ka shehzada
Gulfaam nahin aata

Basti mein koi aurat
Raaton ko nahin soati
Jaagi huwi aurat ki
Soi hui qismat par
Jab koi bhi deewana
Be chain nahin hota
Dehleez kay pathar say
Takra kay jabeen apni
Ik shakhs nahin rota

Jab neend kay shedaei
Khwabon ko tarastay hain
Aur dekhnay kay aadi
Binaei say dartay hain
Reh reh kay andheray say
Aankhon mein utartay hain

Aankhon kay ujalon say
In phool say bachchon say
Keh do keh na ab nangay
Paa'on say chalein ghar mein
Is farsh pay mitti kay
Ab ghaas nahin ugti
Ab saamp nikaltay hain
Deewar say aur dar say

Ab noor ki boondon say
Mehki hui mitti mein
Anmol ujalay kay
Woh phool nahin khiltay
Ab jheel kanaray par
Bichhray bhi nahin miltay
Basti mein koi aurat
Raton ko nahin soti
Aur jagnay walon say
Ab nazm nahin hoti

Kya nazm likhay koi
Jab jagnay, sonay mein
Pa lenay mein, khonay mein
Jab baat kay honay mein
Aur baat na honay mein
Kuch farq na reh jaey
Kya baat karay koi !

Amar kar lo woh sab lamhay

Jo ham nay yun guzaray hain

Sahar kar lo woh sab raatein

Jahan apni hi dunya thi

Jahan saansein bhi apni theen

Jahan sapnay bhi apnay thay

Safar kar lo woh sab rastay

Jahan kuch bhi wafaaein hain

Jahan khushbu hai pyaron ki

Jahan yaadein hain yaaron ki

Fikar kar lo zara ik pal

Keh tum ne kis ko khoya hai

Usay tum dhoond paao gay

Kabhi phir dekh paao gay

Thehar jaao jahaan ho tum

Keh us bin tum adhooray ho

Kabhi phir mil na paao gay

Usay dhoondo gay yaadon main

Usay is pal bula lo tum

Keh yeh lamhay tumhaaray hain

Zeest hai haari hui baazi ki tarah
Rooh main utarnay lagi hai sard thakan
Yaas ki dhundh chaa rahi hai har soo
Barhnay lagi hai aankhon main jalan
Shehar-e-khwaab khaakastar honay kay qareeb
Ik udaasi hai har taraf madham madham
Bahaar par bhi khizaan ka ghumaan honay laga
Chalay bhi aao mere maseeha mere hamdam
Tum jo chalay aaoo to dil ka nagar raoshan ho
Dil-e-bhojal ko milay khushi-e-jawedaan
Taptay wujood ko saaya-e-abr milay
Shab-o-roz kehnay lagain nai daastan
Zindagi ki raah'guzaaron par tum jo mere sang chalo
Chaand saath chalay baad-e-saba saath chalay
Diye jalnay lagain denay lagain manzilon ka pata
Hayaat gun'gunaanay lagay tu jo thaamay haath chalay

Bay sada lafzon main
Wajh-e-zindagi keh kay
Wasl ki zaroorat par
Phir say zor detay hein
Aaj aisa kertay hein
Zikr wohi kertay hein
Naam aur detay hein
Zabt ke kinaaron say
Dard aan lipta hai
Toot'tay kinaaray ab
Dard aur detay hein
Aaj aisa kertay hein
Dard say ulajhtay hein
Zabt chor detay hein
Taar taar daaman ko
Khaar khaar raahon main
Ranjishein bhula kay ham
Aa kay jor detay hein
Aaj aisa kertay hein
Khud nahin palat'tay hein
Raah mor detay hein
Sabz sabz maosam main
Laal laal aankhon kay
Khwaab ki ragon se ham
Khoon nichor detay hein
Aaj aisa kertay hein
Ye bhi kar guzartay hein
Khwaab tor detay hein
Aa keh ab duaaon ko
Maatami ridaaon main
Phir se kar kay alwidaa
Mauqa auor detay hein
Aaj aisa kertay hein
Darya main utartay hein
Rab pe chor detay hein
