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!

Shaam Ki Dastak Pe Chand Ki Nind Tuti Thi
Sair Pe Nikal Gaye Janab
Ki Ek Jheel Ke Thahre Se Paani Mein
Kisi Parchayi Ko Dekh K Ruk Gaye Janab

Kuch Khas Nahi Tha
Sirf Ek Purane Se Ped Ke Niche
Kali Si Hari Si Roshni Mein
Safed Libaas Udhe Ek Masum Baithi Thi
Umra Ka Dusra Nukkad Hi Hoga

Bada Katilana Manjar Hai, Ab Kya Kijiye,
Jab Ankh Hi Khanjar Hai, Tab Kya Kijiye

Palak Utha Lijiye, Aur Teer Chala Dijiye,
Phir Muskra K Mere Ghav Bhi Sahla Dijiye

Chaalte Chalte Raah Mein Woh Thokaren Khaayaa Kare,
Aankh Jiskii Aasamaan Kii Or Uth Jaayaa Kare!

Ik Dafaa Hotaa Hai Raushan Aafataab E Zindagii,
Aik Bhii Katraa Nah Iske Noor Kaa Zaayaa Kare!

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

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

Woh Gulaab Hai Teri Yaad Ka, Jo Rakhaa Huaa Hai Kitaab Me.N,
Woh Tere Hii Khwaabon-Khayaal Hai, Jo Saje Hue Hai Kalaam Me.N!

Hun Teri Nazar Kii Firaaq Me.N, Main Nah Maikade Kii Talaash Me.N,
Jo Khumaar Terii Nigah Me.N Hai,Woh Kahaa Milegaa Sharaab Me.N!

Tawaq’qo* Ak Tarfaa Ish’q Se Kam Ho To Achchhaa Hai!
Use Bas Muskuraataa Dekh Ke Jee Lo To Achchhaa Hai!

Bahaar Ik Um’r Se Barham* To Patjhar Meh’rbaan Mujh Pe,
Mujhe Gulshan Se Apne Door Hee Rak’kho To Achchhaa Hai!

Naa Mehfilen Hain, Naa Koi Jashan,
Aangan Mein Tareeki-E-Raqs Hain!

Ye Jo Aayine Mein Mera Aks Hain,
Mere Ghar Mein Ekk Hee Shaks Hain,

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!

Woh Gajhal Hai To Use Jaroor Gungunaygey,
Wo Khwab Sa Laga, To Palkon Pe Sajayenge,

Wo Chandni Hai Chand Ki,Ya Mehtaab Ka Tej,
Unse Mulakat Ke Baad, Ye Kayas Lagayenge,
