Yeh Shaam Shaam Zindagi

Kabhi yun jo ho kisi din agar
Kabhi tu mujhey sare-e-raah miley
Mein hazaar lamhon ko khainch kar
Yeh jo chalta waqt hai baandh dun

Yeh jo gardishen hein zameen ki
Usi ik lamhey pe ruki rahain

Mein taka karun tujhey jazb sey
Yunhi pyar sey yunhi ishq sey
Teri her adaa ko samait luun
Mein hisaar-e-jaan mein sajaa rakhun
Na tu keh sakey , na mein keh sakun
Tu jo paas ho to mein jee sakun
Tu jo door ho na jiya karoon

Kabhi yun jo ho kisi din agar
Merey humsafar tu jo na miley
Mein hazaar dharkanon ko khainch kar
Ye jo chalta dil hai baandh dun

Ye jo silsiley hein meri saans key
Teri doori mein hi haar dun
Tu jo paas ho to mein jee sakun
Tu jo door ho , na jiya karun

Kabhi yun jo ho kisi din agar
Merey hum safar tu jo na miley…!

Nahi mil raha hai yahan kaheen meri zaat ka hi nishan mujhey
Sun aey justuju dey jawaab tu, ke ley aai hai ye kahan mujhey!

Wo sabaq mein parh ke bhula chuka ke usool banatey hein zindagi
Mujhey mantaqi si daleel dey, ye muhawarey na suna mujhey

Tujhey kya khabar mein dil mein dard, liye phir raha hoon ajab ajab
Teri mashq puraani hai yaar tu, kya ghaao dey ga naya mujhey

Nahi kuch gila ke ye sab hai kya, bhaley kuch ajab hai ye maajra
Keh merey aik jurm pe baar baar, koi dey raha hai sazaa mujehy

Ye jo chaahaton ke bazaar hein yahaan bik raha hai sabhi magar
Yahan kon ley ga wafaa ki jins, bhala kya miley ga nafaa mujhey!

Merey hum’nawa bhala mein kahan, terey waastey mujhey bhool ja
Tu ney khwahishon ke auraq par, kaheen likh dia to mita mujhey

Yun diye na rakh merey haath pe ke katain ge nahi phir raastey
Kabhi rok lein gi baarishein to kabhi tang karey gi hawa mujhey

Kataa zindagi ka katthin safar, mein muflisi mein mraa magar
Mein gulshanon ka makeen tha, zara khushbu'ain to laga mujhey

Ye Raakh Raakh Rutein, Apni Raat Ki Qismat
Tum Apni Neend Bujhaao, Tum Apnay Khuaab Chuno
Bikherti Doobti Nabzoon Pe Dhiyaan Kya Dena
Tum Apnay Dil Main Dharaktay Huay Haroof Suno
Tumharay Shehar Ki Galiyon Main Sail-e-Rang Bikhrain
Tumharay Naqsh-E-Qadam Phool Phool Khiltay Rahien
Woh Rahguzar Jahan Tum Lamha Bhar Thehar Kay Chalo
Wahan Pe Abar Jhukein, Aasmaan Miltey Rahien
Nahin Zaroori Kay Har Ajnabi Ki Baat Suno
Har Aik Sada Pe Dharakna Bhi Dil Ka Farz Nahin
Sukoot-E-Hulqa-E-Zanjeer-E-Darr Bhi Kyun Tootay
Saba Ka Saath Nibhaana Junoon Ka Qarz Nahin
Hum Aisay Log Bohat Hain Jo Sochtay Hi Nahin
Kay Umer Kaisey Kati, Kis Kay Saath Beet Gaee
Hamari Tushna-Labi Ka Mizaaj Kya Jaanay
Keh Fasal-e-Bakhshish-e- Moj-e-Faraat Beet Gayee
Ye Aik Pal Tha Jissay Tu Nay Noch Dala Hai
Woh Aik Sadii Thi Jo Bay-Iltifaat Beet Gaee
Hamari Aankh Lahoo Hai, Tumhein Khaber Hogi
Chiraagh Khud Se Bujha Hay Keh Raat Beet Gayee

Woh meri zaat mein jab tak raha likhna nahe bhooli
Koi bhi dard jo mein ne saha likhna nahe bhooli

Woh jo mehvar thaa likhne ka, juda ho kar mila ek din
Mila tu yeh kaha us ne suna likhna nahe bhooli

Suna hai ab bhi chaahat mein tumhara naam ‘Saail’ hai
Suna hai ab bhi tum mujh ko Khuda likhna nahe bhooli

Suna hai ab bhi tum mujh ko mere Saahir bulati ho
Suna hai mujh ko rag rag mein basa likhna nahe bhooli

Kaha ke bhool bethi hoon hatheli per hina likhna
Magar mein aasmanoo per dua likhna nahe bhooli

Samay ke uth’tay mathay per tujhe dhoonda, bahut dhoonda
Samay ke jhuktay shanoo per sada likhna nahe bhooli

Mujhe ek din mere kaatib ne likha thaa juda tujh se
Mein tujh ko aaj bhi khud se juda likhna nahe bhooli

Chupane ke leye sab dukh abhi bhi muskurati hoon
Mein ab bhi chehre per chehre naya likhna nahe bhooli

Mein ab bhi is judai mein kae dukh dard sehti hoon
Mein ab bhi teri aankhoon ko shifa likhna nahe bhooli

Kiya thaa tarq-e-taaluq ka iraada aik pal mein ne
Mein ab bhi us iraaday ko saza likhna nahe bhooli

Batao tum mujhe Janaan! mein kaise bhool sakti hoon
Abhi qudrat mera jeevan numa likhna nahe bhooli

Judaee kaat li mein ne magar marnay se kuch pehle
Mein zindaan ke darechoon per saba likhna nahe bhooli

Usey kehna ………!

Humaim kab farq parta hai

Keh…..!

Hum tou shaakh say tootey huay pattey

Buhat arsaa hua hum ko

Ragain tak mar chukeen dil ki

Koi paaoun taley rondey

Jalaa kar raakh kar daaley

Hawaa kay haath par rakh kar

Kahin bhi phaink day hum ko

Supurd-e-khaak kar daaley

Humain ab yaad hi kab hay?

Keh hum bhi eik mausam thay

Kisi gulshan ki zeenat thay

Kisi tehni ki qismat thay

Kai aankhon ki raahat thay

Yaa jeewan ki hararat thay

Buhat arsa hua woh khawaab sa mausam

Humaarey haath sey phisla

Ya shaaid phir khizaan mausam ko

Hum apna samajh bethey

So uss din say……

Kisi mausam say ab apna

Koi rishta nahi banta

Kisi ki shaakh ki baanhein

Humain pehchaanti kab hein?

Kabhi hum inki dharkan they

Ye shaakhein maanti kab hein?

Kabhi tum laut ke aao
Mujhay bus itna samjhao
Kahan se seekh li tum ne,
Ada mujh ko bhulane ki

Tumhain mujh se jo shikwa tha
Ya koi bhi shikayat thi
Na ki koshish batanay ki
Bbhala yun chor ke apna
Koi apnon ko jata hai

Musalsal dukh ki barish main
Yun jeevan bhar rulata hai
Abhi tau rait geeli hai
Banay apnay gharondon ki
Abhi sub naqsh baqi hain
Gaye qadmon pe laut aao

Mujhay bus itna samjhao
Kahan se seekh li tum ne
Ada mujh ko bhulanay ki

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal

Jahan raat kabhi bhi soi na ho
Jahan subah kissi pe roi na ho
Jahan hijer ne wehshat boi na ho
Jahan koi kissi ka koi na ho

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal

Jahan haath na phalain dar bhi na ho
Jahan roog kisi k ghar bhi na ho
Jahan aazadi ka dar bhi na ho
Jahan tootay phootay par bhi na ho

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal

Jahan shaher hoon sare wairane
Jahan loog sabhi hoon baigane
Jahan sab k sab hoon dewane
Jahan koi humain na pehchane

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal

Jahan nafrat dil mein bus na sake
Jahan koi kissi ko dus na sake
Jahan koi kissi pe huss na sake
Jahan koi b gunjal kass na sake

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal

Jahan dard kissi ko raas na ho
Jahan koi bhi uddas na ho
Jahan zulmat ki boo bass na ho
Jahan too hhi ziada pass na ho

Mujhay aur kahin lay chal sanwal....!!!

Kat he gai judai bhi kab yun hua ke mar gaye
Tere bhi din guzar gaye meray bhi din guzar gaye

Tu bhi kuch aur aur hai hum bhi kuch aur aur hain
Jane wo tu kidhar gaya jane wo hum kidhar gaye

Rahon main he mile they hum rahen nasib ban gain
Tu bhi na apne ghar gaya hum bhi na apnay ghar gaye

Wo bhi gubar-e-Khak tha hum bhi gubar-e-khak they
Wo bhi kaheen bikhar gaya hum bhi kaheen bikhar gaye

Koi kinar-e-ab-e-ju baitha hua hai sarnigun
Kashti kidhar chali gai jane kidhar bhanwar gaye

Tere liye chale the ham tere liye thehar gaye
Tu ne kaha to ji uthe tu ne kaha to mar gaye

Waqt he kuch judai ka itna tavil ho gaya
Dil mein tere firaq ke jitne the zakham bhar gaye

Barish-e-vasl wo huie sara gubar dhul gaya
Wo bhi nikhar nikhar gaya ham bhi nikhar nikhar gaye

Itne qarib ho gaye itne raqib ho gaye
Wo bhi Adeem dar gaya ham bhi Adeem dar gaye ....!

Tohmatain to lagti hain
Roshni ki khahish main
Ghar say bahir aanay ki kuch saza to milti ha

Loag loag hotay hain
Unko kiya khabar ja'ana
Aap kay iradoon ki khubsurat aankhon main
Basnay walay khaboon kay rang kaisay hotay hain
Dil ki good aangan main palnay wali batoon kay
Zakham kaisay hotay hain
Kitnay gehray hotay hain

Kub ya soach saktay hain
Aisi baygunah aankhain
Ghar kay konay khudroon main chup kay kitna roti hain

Phir bhi yey kahani say
Apni kuj bayani say

Is qadar rawani say dastaan sunatay hain
Aur yakeen ki aankhain
Sach kay ghamzada dil say lag kay kitna roti hain

Tohmatain tu lagti hain
Roshni ki khawish main
Tohmatoon kay lagnay say
Dil kay dost ko jaa'na
Ab nidhal kiya karna
Tohmatoon say kiya darna

Yeh kon meray dil main yeh kehta hai keh main hoon
Mehsoos karoon usko to lagta hai keh main hoon

Kon khailta rehta hai na janay koi dil say
Nadaan k haathoon main khilona hai keh main hoon

Yaadain hain k reh reh k sulag uthti hain aksar
Badal koi tham tham k barasta hai keh main hon

Woh rang, woh khushbu, meri ab mujh main kahan hai
Yai shaakh say toota hwa ghuncha hai keh main hoon

Rastay ka mujhay hosh na manzil ki khabar kuch
Toofan main urta hua patta hai keh main hoon

Aanso meray hans hans k yahi pooch rahay hain
Sailab main behta hwa tinka hai keh main hoon

Kuch aur he aalam hai meri zaat main pinha
Dunia main koi aur bhi rehta hai keh main hoon

Dard phail jaye tou aik waqat aata hay
Dil dharakta rehta hay
Arzoo gazidoon kay hoslay nahi chaltay
Dasht-e-bay yaqeeni main asray nahi chaltay
Rah-ro-on ki ankoon main
Manzilen na jab tak hoon, qaflay nahi chaltay
Ik zara tavajo say daikhiye tu khulta hay
Log in per chaltay hain, rastay nahi chaltay
Sochnay samajhnay say, saath saath chalnay say
Doriyan smat'ti hain, faslay nahi chaltay
Khwab khwab aankoon main ratjagay nahi chaltay
Darguzar kay halqay main masalay nahi chaltay
Do diloon ki qurbat main teesra nahi hota
Vastay nahi chaltay
Bakht sathh chalta hay taal-e-azmaon kay
Waqat raam kernay main tujzeeon kay dao kya
Tajrabay nahi chaltay
Ishaq kay ilaqay main hukm-e- yar chalta hay
Zaabtay nahi chaltay
Husan ki adalat main aajzi tu chalti hay
Mertabay nahi chaltay
Dosti kay rishtoon ki perwarish zarori hay
Silsalay ta'aluq kay, khud say ban tu jatay hain
Lakin in shagofoon ko totnay bikharnay say
Rokna bhi perta hay
Chahatoon ki matti ko, arzo kay poday ko
Senchna bhi perta hay
Ranjishon ki baton ko bolna bhi perta hay

Abhi kuch din lagain gay
Dil aesay shehar kay pamaal ho jaanay ka manzar bhoolnay main
Abhi kuch din lagain gay
Jahan-e-rung kay saaray khas-o-khaashaak,

Sub saru-o-sanober bhoolnay main
Abhi kuch din lagain gay....
Thakay haaray hooway khwaaboun kay saahil par,

Kaheen ummeed ka chota sa ik ghar
Bantay bantay reh gaya hay
Woh ik ghar bhoolnay main, abhi kuch din laggain gay

Magar ab din hee kitnay reh gaye hain
Buss, ik din dil kee loh-e-muntazir per
Achaanak
Raat utray gee
Meri baynoor aankhoun kay khazaanay main chupay

Her khwaab kee takmeel kar day gee
Mujhay bhee khwaab main tabdeel kar day gee
Ik aisa khwaab jiss kaa dekhnaa mumkin naheen tha
Aik aisaa khwaab jiss kay daaman-e-sud chaak main koi mubarak
Koi roshan din naheen thaa
Abhi kuch din laggain gay

Kis tarah rokta hoon ashkoon ko
Kis tarah dil pe jabr karta hoon
Aaj bhi kaar zaar-e-hasti mein
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon

Dil bhi kartaa hai yaad chhup ke tujhe

Naam leti nahi zubaan tera..
Is qadar bhi nahin mujhe maloom
Kis muhalley mein hai makaan tera
Koun si shaakh-e-gul pe raqsaan hai
Raqs-e-firdaus, aashyaan tera
Jaaney kin vaadiyoon mein thehra hai
Ghairat-e-husn, karvaan tera
Kis se puchoon ga mein khabar teri
Koun batlaaye ga nishaan tera
Teri rusvaaiyoon se darta hoon
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon

Haal-e-dil bhi na keh saka garchay
To rahi muddaton qareeb mere
Kuch teri azmaton ka dar bhi tha
Kuch khayalat bhi thay ajeeb mere
Aakhir-e-kar woh ghari aayi
Yar war ho gaye raqeeb mere
Tu mujhe chor kar chali bhi gayi
Khair qismat meri naseeb mere
Aab main kiyon tujh se piyar karta hoon
Jab tere shehar say guzarta hoon

Wo zamana teri muhubat ka
Aik bholi hoi kahani hai
Tere koochay main umr bhar na gaye
Sari duniya ki khaak chani hai
Lazat-e-qurb ho keh zakhm-e-firaq
Jo bhi hai teri meharbani hai
Kis tammana say tujh ko chaha tha
kis muhabbat say har mani hai
Aapni qismat pay naz karta hoon
Jub tere shehar se guzarta hoon

Aaj bhi karzar-e-hasti main
To agar aik bar mil jaye
Kisi mehfil main saamna ho jaye
Ya sar-e-rahguzaar mil jaye
Aik nazar daikh lain mohabbat say
Aik lamhay ka pyar mil jaye
Chain aa jaye aarzoon ko
Hasraton ko qarar mil jaye
Jane kiya kiya khayal karta hoon
Jab tere shehar se guzarta hoon

Koi pursan-e-haal ho to kahon
Kesi aandhi chali hai tere baad
Din guzara hai kis tarha main nai
Raat kese dhali hai tere baad
Roz jeeta hon roz marta hoon
Jub tere shehar say guzarta hoon

Tujh se koi gila nahi mujh ko
Main tujhe bewafa nahin kehta
Tera milna khuab-o-khayal hua
Phir bhi na-aashna nahin kehta
Wo jo kehta tha muh ko awara
Main us ko bhi bura nahin kehta
Warna ik be nawa muhabbat main
Dil kay lutne pay kiya nahi kehta
Main to mushkil say aah bharta hoon
Jub tere shehar say guzarta hoon

Abhi waqt hai meray saath chal
Abhi paon main hain musafatain
Abhi raaston peh garift hai
Abhi hath rakha hua hai waqt ki baag per
Abhi meherbaan hai rahguzar bari door tuk
Abhi raastay bhi nahin utay huay hain ghubar main
Abhi hoslay hain jawan meray
Abhi dil main chalnay ka shoq hai
Abhi manzilon ka yaqeen hai to junoon bhi hai urooj per
Yahan aik jahan main jaanay kitnay jahan hain
Abhi daik apni umeed kay kisi baadban ko khol ker
Yeh jo kishtiyan si rawan hai seena-e-aab per
Isi aag ki hain nishaniyan yeh musafatain
Koi hisraton main suna gaya hai basharatain
Abhi waqt hai meray saath chal

Umr beeti hai jinhain hijr ki pemaish main
Hum syah bakht, teray faasla bardaar, musafir shab kay
Raat aati hai to chal pertay hain
Bay baha sulagi hui yaad kay angaaron per
Rooh bersaat main bharki hui aatish hai keh bujhti hi nahin
Raat aati hai to gir pertay hain
Teray undoh ki num ghaaron main
Kon ab aa kay nikalay humain
Kon tehraaye ga bikhray huay pat'ton kay naseeb
Hum jo ronday huay raston ki tarah
Aah bhi bhartay huay dartay hain
Jaanay phir konsi veerani guzar jaye achanak kisi veerani say
Hum jo thithkay huay bachon ki tarah
Sans bhi letay hua mertay hain
Zindagani kisi murjhaye huay dil ki tarah
Sog kay kapray main lipti hui bevah hai koi
Koi dum bhar bhi thehertay hai kisi aas ki chaon (shade) main to ro perti hai
Aur hum phir say nikal pertay hain
Hum syah bakht, teray faasla bardaar, musafir shab kay
Umr beeti hai jinhain hijr ki pemaish main
Raat aati hai to chal pertay hain

Abhi Thehro
Abhi kuch din lagain gay!

Vasl ko khwahish bananay main
Tumhain apna samajhnay kay liye dil ko mananay main
Abhi kuch din lagain gay

Abhi hum apni khwahishon ko dil say milnay dain
Inhain mehsoos karnay dain
Wafa kya hai or taqaza-e-mohabbat ki hadain kya hain?
Hadon ki sarhadain kya hain
Phir in kay paar janay ka sabab kya hai
Dheyan o bay-dheyani main
Tumhari bheegti baaton kay darya ki rawani mai
Kahani hi kahani main
Agar beja wo manzil
Koi khawashish
Dilon ki kokh say paida hui
To kon daikhay ga
Humaray naam ki sachai ko
Or khwahishon k bay-nasb mehtab chehron ko
Abhi thehro
Abhi kuch din lagain gay

Rishta-e-baynaam ko naam karnay main
Kahani ko kisi agaz say anjam karnay main
Kahin izhar karnay main
Humain iqrar karnay main
Abhi thehro
Abhi kuch din lagain gay!!!!!
Abhi kuch din lagain gay !!!!

Aur kuch hi dair main, jub phir meray dil ko
Fikr aa lay gee keh tanhai ka kia chara karay
Dard aaye ga dabay paon, liye surkh charagh
Woh jo ik dard dharakta hai kahin dil say puray

Shola-e-dard jo pehloo main lapak uthay ga
Dil ki deewar pe her naqsh damak uthay ga

Halqa-e-zulf kaheen, gohsa-e-rukhsar kaheen
Hijr ka dasht kaheen, gulshan-e-deedar kaheen
Lutf ki baat kaheen, pyar ka iqrar kaheen

Dil say phir ho gee maray baat keh aye dil aye dil
Yeh jo mehboob bana hai teri tanhai ka
Yeh to mehmaan hai ghari bhar ka, chala jaye ga
Is say kub teri museebat ka madawa ho ga
Mushtail ho kay abhi uthain gay wehshi saaye
Yeh chala jaye ga, reh jain gay baqi saaye
Raat bhar jin say rera khoon kharaaba ho ga
Jang thehri hai koi khail nahin hai aye dil
Dushman-e-jaan hain sabhi, saray kay saray qatil
Yeh kari raat bhi, yeh saaye bhi, tanhai bhi
Dard aur jang main kuch mail nahin hai aye dil
Lao, sulgao koi josh-e-ghazab ka angaar
Taish ki aatish-e-jarrar kahan hai lao
Woh dehekta hua gulzaar kahan hai lao
Jis main germi bhi hai, harkat bhi, tawanai bhi

Ho na ho apnay qabeelay ka bhi koi lashkar
Muntazir ho ga andhairay ki faseelon kay udhar
Un ko sholon kay rajz apna pata to dain gay
Khair, hum tuk wo na pohonchay bhi, sada to dain gay
Dur kitni hai abhi subh, bata to dain gay

Rahguzar, saaye, shajar, manzil dur, halqa-e-baam

Baam peh seena-e-mahtaab khula, aahista

Jis tarha kholay koi bund qaba, aahista

Halqa-e-baam talay, saayon ka thehra hua neel

Neel ki jheel

Jheel main chupkay say taera, kisi put’tay ka habab

Aik pal taera, chala, phoot gaya, aahista

Bohot aahista, bohot halka, khunk rang sharab

Meray sheeshay main dhala, aahista

Sheesha-o-jaam, suraahi, teray haathon kay gulaab

Jis tarha dur kisi khuab ka naqsh

Aap hi aap bana aur mita aahista

Dil nay dohraya koi harf-e-wafa aahista

Tun may kaha “aahista”

Chand nay jhuk kay kaha

“Aur zara aahista”

Iss Basti ke Ik koochey mein , Ik Insha Naam ka Deewana
Ik naar pe jaan ko Har gaya , mash'hoor hai uss ka afsaana

Uss naar mein aisa roop na tha , jis roop se din ki dhoop dabbey
Iss shehar mein kya kya gori hai , mehtaab rukhey gulnaar labbey
Kuch baat thi uss ki baatoo'n mein,kuch bhaid they uss ke chitwan mein
Wuhi bhaid ke joat jagaatey hain , kisi chahney waaley ke mann mein
Ussey apna banaey ki dhun mein , hua aap hi aap se begaana
Iss basti ke ik koochey mein ik Insha naam ka Deewana

Na chanchal khail jawani ke , na payaar ki al'harh ghaatein thein
Bus raah mein unn ka milna tha aur phone pe unn ki baatein thein
Iss Ishq pe ham bhi hanstey they , behasil sa behasil tha?
Ik roz biphartey sagar mein , na kashti thi na sahil tha
Jo baat thi in ke ji mein thi , jo bhaid tha yaksar anjaana
Iss basti ek ik koochey mein , ik Insha naam ka deewana

Ik roz magar barkha rutt mein , wo bhaadoon' thi ya sawan tha
Deewar pe beech sumandar ke , yeh dekhney waloo'n ne dekha
mastana haath mein haath diye , yeh aik Kagar pe baithey they
youn Shaam hui phir Raat hui , jab Sailaani ghar laot gey
kya raat thi wo - ji chahta hai uss raat pe likhein Afsaana
iss basti ke ik koochey mein ik Insha naam ka deewana

Haa'n Umar ka saath nibhaaney ke they Ehad bohat Paimaan bohat
wo jin pe bharosa karney mein kuch sood nahi , Nuqsaan bohat
wo Naar yeh keh kar door hui - " majboori Sajan Majboori"
yeh wehshat se ranjoor huye aur ranjoori si ranjoori
uss roz hamein maloom hua , uss shakhs ka mushkil samjhana
iss basti ke ik koochey mein , Ik Insha naam ka deewana

Go Aag se Chaati jalti thi , Go Aankh se darya behta tha
har aik se dukh nahi kehta tha , Chup rehta tha Gham sehta tha
Naadaan hain wo jo chairtey hain , iss aalam mein deewanoo'n ko
uss shakhs se aik jawab mila , sab apnoo'n ko baigaanoo'n ko
"kuch aur kaho to Sunta hoo'n , iss Baab mein kuch mat farmana"
iss basti ke ik koochey mein ik Insha naam ka deewana

Ab aagey ka Tehqeeq nahi , go sun'ney ko ham suntey they
uss Naar ki jo jo baatein thein , uss Naar ke jo jo Qissey they
ik Shaam jo uss ko bulwaya , kuch samjhaya bechaarey ne
uss raat yeh qissa paak kiya , kuch kha hi liya dukhyaarey ne
kya baat hui , kis toar hui ? Akhbaar se logoo'n ne jana
iss basti ke ik koochey mein , ik Insha naam ka deewana

Har baat ki khoj to theek nahi , tum ham ko kahani kehney do
Uss naar ka naam maqam hai kya , iss baat pe parda rehney do
ham se bhi soda mumkin hai , tum se bhi jafa ho sakti hai
yeh apna bayaa'n ho sakta hai , yeh apni Katha ho sakti hai
wo naar bhi aakhir pachtaayi , kis kaam ka aisa pachtaana?
iss basti ke ik koochey mein , ik Insha Naam ka deewaana

Aksar shab-e-tanhai main ' kuch dair pehlay neend say
Guzri hui dil-chuspian ' Beetay huay din aish kay
Buntay hain shama-e-zindagi ' Aur daaltay hain roshni
Meray dil-e-sud chaak per

Woh bachpan aur wo saadgi ' Woh rona woh hansna kabhi
Phir woh jawani kay mazay ' Woh dil lagi woh qehqahay
Woh ishq woh ehd-e-wafa ' Woh wada or woh shukriya
Woh lazzat-e-bazm-e-tarb ' Yaad aati hain ik aik sab
Dil ka kanwal jo roz-o-shab ' rehta shagufta tha so ab
Us ka yeh abtar haal hai ' Ik sabza-e-pamaal hai
Ik phool kumhlaya hua ' sookha hua bikhra hua
Ronda para hai khak per

Yun hi shab-e-tanhai main ' Kuch dair pehlay neend say
Guzri hui na-kaamiyan ' Beetay huay din ranj kay
Bantay hain shama-e-baykasi ' Or daltay hain roshni
Un hasraton ki qabr per

Jo aarzooain pehlay theen ' Phir gham say hasrat ban gaein
Gham doston kay faut ka ' Un ki jawan mot ka
Lay daikh sheeshay main meray ' Un hasraton ka khoon hai
Jo gardish-e-ayyam say ' Jo qismat-e-nakaam say
Ya aish-e-ghum anjaam say ' Merg-e-But-e-gulfaam say
Khud meray ghum main mer gaein ' Kis tarha paaon main hazeen
Qaboo dil-e-baysabr per

Jab aah un ahbab ko ' Main yad ker uthta hoon jo
Yun mujh say pehlay uth gaye ' jis tarha taa'ir baagh kay
Ya jesay phool aur patiyan ' Gir jain sun qabl khizan
Or khushk reh jaye shajr

Us waqt tanhai meri ' Bun ker mujassam baykasi
Ker deti hai pesh-e-nazar ' Ho haq sa ik weeran ghar
Berbaad jis ko chor ka ' Sub rehnay walay chal basay
Tootay keewar or khirkiyan ' Chut kay tapaknay kay nishan
Pernaalay hain rozan nahin ' Yeh hall hain aangan nahin
Perday nahin chilman nahin ' Ik shama tuk roshan nahin
Meray siwa jis main koi ' Jhankay na bhoolay say koi
Woh khana-e-shali hai dil ' Poochay na jis ko dev koi
Ujra hua weeran ghar

Aksar shab-e-tanhai main ' kuch dair pehlay neend say
Guzri hui dil-chuspian ' Beetay huay din aish kay
Bantay hain shama-e-zindagi ' Aur daltay hain roshni
Meray dil-e-sud chaak per
