Ishq ko be-naqaaab hona tha

Ishq ko be-naqaaab hona tha,
Aap apna jawaab hona tha,
Masst-e-jaaam-e-sharaaab hona tha,
 Be-khudd-e-izztiraab hona tha,
Teri ankhon ka kuch qasoor nahin,
Haan mujhi ko kharaab hona tha,
 Aao mil jaao muskura ke gale,
Ho chuka jo itaab hona tha,
Kuchaaa-e-ishq main nikal aaya,
 Ji ka khaana-kharab hona tha,
Hum ne nakaamiyon ko dhoond liya,
Aaakhrish kaamyaab hona tha,
Haaye woh lamhaaa-e-sukooon ke jisse,
Mehshhar-e-iztiraab hona tha,
 Nigaaah-e-yaaar khud tarrap uthi,
 Shartt-e-awwall kharaab hona tha,
Kyun na hota sitam bhi be-payan,
Karamm-e-behisaab hona tha,
 Kyun nazar hairaton main doob gayi,
Maujj-e-sadd-iztiraab honaa tha,
Ho chukaa rozz-e-avvaleen hi ‘jigar’,
 Jis ka jitna kharaab hona tha..

Wohi phir mujhe yaad anay lage hain

Wohi phir mujhe yaad anay lage hain, Jinhe bhoolne main zamane lage hain, Woh hain paas aur yaad anay lage hain, Mohabbat ke hosh ab thikaane lage hain, Suna hai hamen woh bhulaane lage hain, To kya hum unhe yaad anay lage hain, Hattaaye they jo raah se doston ki, Woh pathar mere ghar main anay lage hain, Yeh kehna tha un se mohabbat hai mujh ko, Yeh kehne main mujh ko zamaane lage hain, Hawaayen chalin aur na maujen utheen, Ab aese bhi tufaan anay lage hain, Qayamat yaqeenan qareeb aa gayi hai, Khumar ab to masjid main jaane lage hain..

Ye na thi hamaarii qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hota Agar aur jeete rehte, yahii intezaar

Ye na thi hamaarii qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hota Agar aur jeete rehte, yahii intezaar hota

Hui muddat ke Ghalib mar gaya

Hui muddat ke Ghalib mar gaya, par yaad aata hai Woh har baat par kehna, ke yun hota to kya hota…

Tere vaadon ko kabhi jhoot nahin samjhoon ga

Tere vaadon ko kabhi jhoot nahin samjhoon ga,
Aaj ki raat bhi darwaza khula rakhoon ga,
Dekhne ke liye ik chehra bohat hota hai,
Aankh jab tak hai tujhe sirf tujhe dekhoon ga,
Meri tanhayi ki ruswayi ki manzil aayi,
Vasl ke lamhe se main hijr ki shab badloon ga,
Shaam hote hi khuli sarrkon ki yaad ati hai,
Sochta roz hoon main ghar se nahin nikloon ga,
Taa-kay mehfooz rahe mere qalam ki hurmat,
Sach mujhe likhna hai main husn ko sach likhoon ga

Wohi phir mujhe yaad anay lage hain

Wohi phir mujhe yaad anay lage hain,
Jinhe bhoolne main zamane lage hain,
Woh hain paas aur yaad anay lage hain,
Mohabbat ke hosh ab thikaane lage hain,
Suna hai hamen woh bhulaane lage hain,
To kya hum unhe yaad anay lage hain,
Hattaaye they jo raah se doston ki,
Woh pathar mere ghar main anay lage hain,
Yeh kehna tha un se mohabbat hai mujh ko,
Yeh kehne main mujh ko zamaane lage hain,
Hawaayen chalin aur na maujen utheen,
Ab aese bhi tufaan anay lage hain,
Qayamat yaqeenan qareeb aa gayi hai,
Khumar ab to masjid main jaane lage hain..

Qurbat bhi nahin dil se utar bhi nahin jata

Qurbat bhi nahin dil se utar bhi nahin jata,
Woh shakhss koi faisla kar bhi nahin jata,
Ankhen hain ke khaali nahin rehti hain lahuu se,
Aur zakham-e-judai hai ke bhar bhi nahin jata,
Woh rahat-e-jaan hain magar is darbadri main,
Aesa hai ke ab dheyaan udhar bhi nahin jata,
Hum dohri aziyat ke giraftaar musaafir,
Paaon bhi hain shall shauq-e-safar bhi nahin jata,
Dil ko teri chahat pe bharosa bhi bohat hai,
Aur tujh se bicharr jaane ka ddar bhi nahin jata,
Pagal huye jaate ho ‘faraz’ us se mile kya,
Itni si khushi se koi mar bhi nahin jata.

Main yeh kis ke naam likhoon jo alam guzr rahe hain

Main yeh kis ke naam likhoon jo alam guzr rahe hain,
Mer shehr jal rahe hain mere log mar rahe hain,
Koi ghuncha ho ke gul ho koi shaakh ho shajar ho,
Woh havaa-e-gulistaaan hai ke sabhi bikhar rahe hain,
Kabhi rehmaten thiin naazil isi khitta-e-zameen pr,
Wohi khitta-e-zameen hai ke azaab utar rahe hain,
Wohi taayeron ke jhurmatt jo havaa main jhoolte thay,
Woh fazaa ko dekhte hain to ab aaah bhar rahe hain,
Barri aarzuu thi hum ko naye khawb dekhne ki,
So ab apni zindagi main naye khawb bhar rahe hain,
Koi aur to nahin hai pas-e-khanjjar-azmaayi,
Hameen qatal ho rahe hain hameen qatal kar rahe hain..

 

Halat-e-haal ke sabab halat-e-haal hi gayi

Halat-e-haal ke sabab halat-e-haal hi gayi,
Shauq main kuch nahin geya shauq ki zindagi gayi,
Tera firaaq jan-e-jan aish tha kya mere liye,
Yaani tere firaaq main khoob sharab pee gayi,
Tere visaal ke liye apne kamaal ke liye,
Halat-e-haal dil ke thi kharaab aur kharaab ki gayi,
Us ki umeed-e-naaz ka hum se yeh maan tha ke aap,
Umar guzaar dijiye umar guzaar di gayi,
Ek hi haadsa to hai aur woh ke aaj tak,
Baat nahin kahi gayi baat nahin suni gayi,
Baad main tere jan-e-jan dil main raha ajab samaan,
Yaad rahi teri yahan phir teri yaad bhi gayi,
Us ke badan ko numuud hum ne sukhan main aur phir,
Us ke badan ke vaastay aik qabaa bhi see gayi,
Mina-ba-mina maiy-ba-maiy jam-ba-jam jam-ba-jam,
Naf piyaale ki teri yaad ajab sahi gayi,
Kehni hai mujh ko ek baat aap se yaani aap se,
Aap ke shehere-vassl main lazzat-e-hijar bhi gayi,
Sehn-e-khayal -e-yaar main ki na bassar shab-e-firaq,
Jab se woh chaand na geya jab se woh chaandni gayi..

Mujh sa koi jahan main nadaan bhi na ho

Mujh sa koi jahan main nadaan bhi na ho,
Kar ke jo ishq kehta hai nuqsaan bhi na ho..

Subaah hoti hai shaam hoti hai

Subaah hoti hai shaam hoti hai,
Umar yuun hi tamaam hoti hai.
