ye jo dunya hai ' saraaye hai guzar hone tak

ye jo dunya hai ' saraaye hai guzar hone tak 
zindagi ik tamaasha hai basar hone tak 

tujh se bichraa tou mere dil ka ajab haal hua 
yani zinda hoon tujhe gham ki khaber hone tak

kis ko maloom k ik pal main yahan kia hojaye
meri haalat pe teri aik nazer hone tak

ghar ki deewaar pe jalta ye diya sochta hai 
kia bharosa hai yahan dam ka sehar hone tak

koozah gar ho k musawwer ho k shaa'er ho koi
haath kutt jatey hain izhaar e hunar hone tak

kis terah kaayinaat main tanha hua hoon main

kis terah kaayinaat main tanha hua hoon main
har manzil e hayat pe bikhra hua hoon main

laaon kahan se ab wo samander ki wussa'ten
muddat se apni zaat main simta hua hoon main

mushkil nahin hoon itna samjh main na aa sakoon
her chund apne aap se uljhaa hua hon main

ab yaad e raftagaan ki bhi fursat nahin mujhe
arse se apni yaad main khoya hua hoon main

her roz mere ser naye sooraj ka bojh ha
her raat apni aag main nikhra hua hoon main

apni aankhon k dareechey main chupa le mujh ko

apni aankhon k dareechey main chupa le mujh ko
too maseeha hai bikherne se bacha le mujh ko

tere aariz pe khile hain kayi khush rang gulaab
main bhi ik zakhm hoon chehre pe saja le mujh ko

apna saya bhi yahan saath nahin deta hai
hijer k dasht se ab kon nikaale mujh ko

haath ko haath sujhaayi nahin deta hai yahan
in andheron main bhala kon sambhale mujh ko

meri aankhon main tera aks hai daaem abaad
too bhi khushboo ki terah dil main basa le mujh ko

kuch shikayat hai ager tujh se tou bas itni hai
kerdia too ne bhi duniya k hawale mujh ko

dekho ye dard e hijer bhi kia kaam ker gaya

dekho ye dard e hijer bhi kia kaam ker gaya
main khud bhi apne jism k ander bikherr gaya

yaadon ki taiz dhoop main saaya kahin na tha
main aatish ee faraaq main jal ker nikherr gaya

zinda tha meri ankh main muddat se aik khwab
kal raat ittefaq se wo khwaab merr gaya

ab meri chahaton main bhi khushboo nahin rahi
teri wafa se aaj wo rang e aser gaya

tujh se juda hue to kayi saal hogaye
ye zehar meri rooh k ander uterr gaya

chehre pe yun likha tha tamanna ka marsiya
main aaieney main apni hi soorat se derr gaya

abhi shab hai tere khayal ki abhi din hain mere malaal k

abhi shab hai tere khayal ki abhi din hain mere malaal k
wohi silsile hain faraaq k wohi massaley hain wisaal k

kabhi aye ghazaal e rameedakhoo mere dashtejaan ki bhi sair ker
k dikhaoon zakhm judaayi k'k sunaaon karb malaal k

inhi gardishon main zamaney ki sabhi raiza raiza bikher gaye
mager ik tera shaoor e gham rakha jis ne mujh ko sanbhaal k

chali aik aisi ajab hawa k bicherr k mujh se wo reh gaye
mere humsafer mere humnasheen jo gawah thay mere haal k 

too gaya tha mujh se bicherr k jab usi aik lamhey se humnafas
wohi roz o shab hain abhi talak wohi silsiley mah o saal k

meri aankh main tere khwaab hain mere dil main teri hi yaad hai
hain wohi jawab abhi talak mere lab pe tere sawaal k

aankhon main kis saraab k manzar hain in dinon

aankhon main kis saraab k manzar hain in dinon
hum hud e aitbaar se baahir hain in dinon 

bikhre huay hain shehar k raston pe misl e khaak 
yaani hawa k rehm o karam pe hain in dinon

baahir hi nahin nikalte mubaada malaal ho 
hum is liye makaan k ander hain in dinon

lab izn e guftugoo ko taraste hain aaj kal
ronay main donon aankhain samander hain in dinon

nazaargi k zakhm hain aur rahguzaar e shehar
goya halaak rasm e sitamgar hain in dinon

kiya or tum se khul k kahain apna haal e zaar 
mayoosi or umeed barabar hain in dinon

Jism sehra hochuke hain zehan banjar hogaye

Jism sehra hochuke hain zehan banjar hogaye 
hum kahan zinda hain dekho hum to patther hogaye

aankhen qehat e aab se weeran hoti jati hain
yani mausam hi dukhon k ab muqadder hogaye 

shehar main ik behisi ki rou chali hai in dinon
Aashnaa na Aashna sab hi baraber hogaye

baad ik muddat k jab dekha use to khud bakhud
zehan main roshan gaye lamhon k manzer hogaye

aise doobey hain k ab apna nishaan milta nahin
Aagahi k zakhm bhi gehrey samander hogaye
