Wahii Phir Zahan Me.N Mere Aanaa Chaahe!
Kalam Bhii Wahii Ek Afasaanaa Chaahe!

Jise Qatl Karake Dafan Kar Chukaa Thaa!
Usii Raaz Kii Jaa.N Me.N Jaa.N Laanaa Chaahe!

Chupke Chupke Gham Khushee Ke Bhes Mein Daakhil Huaa!
Sankaron Kaante Chubhen, Jab Ek Gul Haansil Huaa!

Khaak’e Paa* Hun,Khaak Mein Paidaa Huaa,Pal Bhee Gayaa!
Kuchh Buzurgon Kee Duaa, Kuchh Aap Hee Qaabil Huaa!

Dheer Apne Hii Daaman Koo, Bedaagh Banaanaa Hain,
Phir Jaa Ke Zamaane Ko Aaeen’ah Dikhaanaa Hain!

Ab Tere Muhabbat Bhee Ik Bhoola Fasaanah Hai, [Q]
Ik Band Lifaafaa Hain, Ik Khwaab Puraanaa Hain!

Aik Sehraa Ko Gulistaan Banaa Dete Hain Log
Jab Gulaab Ishq Kaa Seene Men Khilaa Dete Hai Log

Apne Ghar Kee Chitaa Kaa Bando-Bast Karte Hain
Jab Bhi Nafrat Ke Chiraaghon Ko Hawaa Dete Hain Log

Kyu Aaj Hakikat, Ek Fasana Laga,
Meri Rukhsat Pe, Tu Begana Laga,

Akhiri Salam Bhi Aise Hua Nasib,
Ye Muskurana Ahsaan Jatana Laga,

Kaafilen Jab Bhi Kabhi Yaadon Ke Guzre!
Raah Me.N Tab Sainka.Do Afsaane Bikhre!

Raat Se Zakhmon Ne Phir Yaarii Nibhaayii!
Raat Aayii Aur Ye Kambakh’t Ubhare!

Ek Nayi Gazal Ke Saath Mehfil Me.N
Shareek Huaa Hu Mulaayezaa Farmayiyegaa

Kitne Hi Mo.D Aa Gaye Apnii Kahaanii Me.N
Ab Dekhnaa Baakii Rahaa Kyaa Zi.Ndagaanii Me.N

Ajab Aaj Shab Ki Ye Kudrat Hui Jo
Husn-E-Chand Mein Udaasi Kee Shirkat Hui Jo!!

Raat Ke Anhcal Mein Ekk Sitaara Bhee Nahi
Jaise Koi Baraat, Kisi Mandap Se Uthi Ho!

Achi Khasi Dosti Bhi Jati Rahi .
Wo Mile To Jindagi Bhi Jati Rahi,

Jinke Kah Kaho Se Gunjata Tha Aangan
Pyar Hua To Wo Husi Bhi Jati Rahi,

Ai Khwaab Zaraa Aahistaa Se,
Ye Nii.Nd Nazaakat Kaa Pul Hai!
A.Ng Teraa Kaa.Nch Sunaharii Kaa,
Yaa Koii Naazuk Saa Gul Hai!

Tere Pahalu Me.N Mahboob Meraa
Aur Haath Me.N Wo Afasaanaa Hai!
Zaraa Haule-Haule Se Chalanaa,
Ab Yahii Merii Daulat Kul Hai!
