Aaj maine socha phir se uski nigahon mein vo sawal dhundhu,
Na ho mumkin isqu mein aisi koi misaal dhundhu.
Lekin na vo aaj khush hai, na uske chehre par chamak hai kahin,
Honton par aaj uske dard tha, ankhon mein thi nami.
Mai ghabraya, sehma hua haule se uske pas aaya,
Aaj itne kareeb hokar bhi maine usko tanha paya.
Samne tujhko paun, jab bhi mai aankhein mundu,
Jo khoya hai maine, pyar apna kahan mai dhundhu.
Aaj mai tanha hoon, behal hoon pareshan hoon,
apne hi liye in faislon se hairan hoon,
Kbhi na socha tha ke kismat ka diya bujh jaega,
aur hakeekat ke is mor par sab tanha reh jaega,
kitna aur kab tak sahoon, akhir mai bhi ek insan hoon.
Ghabra kar maine jo uski pakdi thi kalai.
Hathon mein rait bankar zameen par thi aai,
Ye jo zehan mein maine bune the khwab itne,
Hakeekat mein the bas unki khubsurat si parchhai.
Sham ki dastak pe dhup ki syahi si chhai hai,
Dil ki kisi kone mein aaj bhi teri parchhai hai,
Tere liye jo piroye the alfaz kayi humne,
Teri khushbu se aaj vo saaz ban aayi hai.
Ye teri ankhon se nikla hai vo anshu hai ya moti hai,
Nigahon mein jo mai bhar loon to phir vo surmayi syahi hai,
Surkh ankhon mein chhae hai, nigahein yaad mein tere tarasti,
Chehre pe tabassum hai, saaz teri tarannum ban aayi hai.
Shayari koi jaam nahi jo paemana bhar ke mile,
Voto bas dhun hai kisi Diwane ki,
Jo tum bhi kabhi tarana yun gungunaoge,
Jab paoge kisi khas ko apne dil ke paemane mein.
Tujhi mein zameen dekhi, tujhi mein aasman paya,
Haiwaniyat bhi maine ek Fariste ki nafs mein paya,
Mohabbat kar tu saaki ban Tabhi Enjeel kehlaega,
varna zamana jalim hai bada tu Iblees hi rah jaega.
Teri khushboo, jo julfon ki basi hai saanson mein mere,
Teri chamak, jo nigahon ki, hai roshni sitaron mein bharti,
Badi pakeezgi hai unmein, saaz bhi sufiyana hai,
Tu hans de to savera hai, jo na hanse to raat hai sabki.
Aksar log puchhte hain aakar mujhse,
Ye duniya ki banai riton se badhke,
Koi hai jo zindagi mein khushiyan bharde,
Hai gar kisi se muhabbat tujhko,
Jo teri viraan zindagi mukammal karde.
Nigahon mein ye moti hain, ya angare hai bhare isme,
Surkh chimni hai, pighalti hai motiya isme,
Sambhalu khud ko mai, ya mujhko sambhalo yaaron,
Hausla har chuka, ab nahi mujh mein himmat yaaron.
Bedaag Samundar hai, bahut door kinara hai,
Tair kar jaun ye dariya, ya doob jaun yaaron.
Mehfil ye haseen hai, shama-o-Bahar hai isme,
Khusbu to bhut hai lekin, pakeezgi nahi yaaron.
Mai chala jaun to koi gam na karna,
Zindagi to asli apni, maut ke bad hai yaaron.
Diye hote gar Fitre har ashiq ne mohabbat ke,
Na gayi hoti itni jaan ashiqon ki mohabbat mein,
Udhar Laila ke khwabon ko bun raha hota Majnu kahin,
Ranjha bhi is daur mein kha raha hota Heer ki kasam,
Ye hum aur tum banke Majnu jo hain udas yu baithe,
Khil rahe hote sabke chehre jo dekhte inki mohabbat ko yu khilte.
