Ik din

Ik din
Tum ne muj se kaha tha
Dhoop kari hai
Apna saya sath he rakhna
Waqat k tarkash main jo teer thay khul ker barsay hain
Zard hawa k pathrilay jhonko se
Jism ka panchi gayal hai
Dhoop ka jangal payas ka dariya
Aysay main anso aik aik bond ki
Insan tarsy hain
Tum ne muj se kaha tha
Samay ki bahti nadi main
Lamhay ki pahcha bhi rakhna
Meray dil main jhak k dekho
Dekho sato rang ka phol khila
Wo lamha jo mera tha wo mera hai
Waqat k payqa bay shak tan per an lagay
Dekho is lamhay se kitna gehra rishta hai
Khushbo band darechay khol rahi hai
Chandni rato sa mosan bhi
Kaliyan bhi hain shaban bhi
Ye sub meray ayinay hain
Our her ayinay main tum ho!

Ye fakhar to hasil hai buray hain k bhalay hain

Ye fakhar to hasil hai buray hain k bhalay hain
Do char qadam hum bhi tere sath chalay hain

Jalna to charagho k muqadar hai azal se
Ye dil k kanwal hain k bujay hain na jalay hain

Nazuk thay kahin rango baye saman se
Jazabat k adab k sanchay main dalay hain

Thay kitnay sitaray k sahar sham he dobay
Hangam sahar kitnay he khursheed dhalay hain

Jo jheel gaye huns k kari dhoop k taywar
Toro ki khanak chaon main wo log jalay hain

Jab tere tasawar ne jalai nahi shamain
Lamhat wohi apany dil o jan pay khilay hain

Khushbo se to andaza e shaban nahi hota
Wo kon se nagmay thay k pholo main dhalay hain

Ik shama bujai to kai our jala lin
Hum gardishe doran se bari chal chalay hain

Ab khalqat muj se pochaty hai tumhain kese sari bat mili

Ab khalqat muj se pochaty hai tumhain kese sari bat mili
Kis ism ka tum ne vird kiya jab tum ko hajeli raat mili

Kaya dhoop bhari dopahro ki bay dard hawayen kuch bhi na thi
Tum ujli kachi kaliyo si kaya sobho tumhain soghat mili

Wahi gajray sachi chahat ke wahi nikhra roop sohana suhagan ka
Tum kon se dar tak ja pohacnhay tumhain raaz milay tumhain ghat milay
Ye hansti basti tanhai jisay shahray nijat zaat kahin
Kis dard ne tum ko dikhlai kis zakham se kis k hat mili

Tum ayeno ko daan karo kabhi deep naya kabhi roop naya
Wo sub ankhon main aik c thi jo tasveer halat mili

Kahi phol bhi hain kashkol Ada kahin kanta jee ko lag jaye
Wo daynay wala janay hai yan kis ko kaya oqat mili

Koi snag rah bhi chamak utha to sitara sehri kahan

Koi snag rah bhi chamak utha to sitara sehri kahan
Meri raat bhi teray naam thi usay kis nay tera sabi kaha

Meray rozo shab bhi ajeeb thay na shumar tha na hisab tha
Kabhi umer bhar ki khabar na tha bhi aik pal ko sadi kaha

Mujay janata bhi koi na tha mera ba nayaz tere siwa
Na shikaste dik na shikaste jan k teri khushi ko khushi kaha

Koi yaad a bhi gai to kaya koi zakham khil bhi utha to kaya
Jo saba qareeb se ho chali isay minato ki ghari kaha

Bhari dopahar main jo pass thi wo teray khayal ki chao thi
Kabhi shake gul se misal di kabhi is ko saro sahi kaha

Kahin sang rah kahin sang der k main pathro k nagar main hun
Ye nahi k dil ko khabar na thi ye bata k mun se kabhi kaha

Meray harf harf k hath main sabi ayno ki hain kirchiyan
Jo zuban se ho na saka Ada ba hadod bay sakhni kahan

Suno jaan!

Suno jaan!
Tum ko khabar nahi
Log akasar bura mantay hain
K meri kahani kisr mour per bhi
Anderi gali se guzarti nahi
K tum ne shoan se her rang lay ker
Meray her nishan e qadam per dhanak somp di
Na ghum ghashta Khawabo ki pechaiyan hain
Na bay aas lamho ki sargoshiyan hain
K nazuk harail bail ko
Ik tawan shajar unginat apnay hatho main
Thamay hoye hai
Koi na rasai ka asayb is rah guzar main nahi
Ye kesa safar hai k rod dar jis ki
Gabar e safa main nahi

Wo lamha jo mera tha

Wo lamha jo mera tha
