raat ko shammaa kii maanind piGhal kar dekho
zindagii kyaa hai kisii taaq meN jal kar dekho

apne chehre ko badalnaa to bahut mushkil hai
jii bahel jaayegaa aaiinaa badal kar dekho

rang bikhreNge to fariyaad karegii Khushbuu
tum kisii phuul ko chuTkii se masal kar dekho

jab bhii dekhaa tumheN ek Khvaab kii suurat dekhaa
ek din paikar-e-taabiir meN Dhal kar dekho


zindagii maaN hai navaazegii tumheN bhii...

khwaab ab Husn-e-tasavvur ke ufaq se haiN pare
dil ke ek jazbaa-e-ma’suum ne dekhe the jo khawaab
aur ta’beeroN ke tapte hue sehraaoN meN
tashnagii aabla-paa, sh’ola-bakaf mauj-e-saraab
ye tau mumkin nahiin bachpan ka ko’ii din mil jaaye
yaa palat aaye ko’ii sa’aat-e-naayaab-e-shabaab
phuuT nikle kisii afsurdah tabassum se kiran
yaa damak uTThe kisii dast-e-buriidah meN gulaab
aah ! patthar kii lakiireN haiN...

tujhe izhaar-e-muhabbat se agar nafrat hai
tuu ne honToN ko larazne se to rokaa hotaa

be-niyaazii se, magar kaaNptii aavaaz ke saath
tuu ne ghabraa ke miraa naam na puuchaa hotaa

tere bas meN thii agar mash’al-e-jazbaat kii lau
tere ruKhsaar meN gulzaar na bhaRkaa hotaa

yuN to mujh se huii sirf aab-o-havaa ki baateN
apne TooTe hue fiqroN ko to parkhaa hotaa

yuuNhii be-waj’h ThiThakney ki zaruurat...

bahaar aa’ii to jaise yak baar
lauT aaye haiN phir adam se
vo Khvaab saare, shabaab saare
jo tere hoNtoN pe mar miTe the
jo miT ke har baar phir jiiye the
nikhar gaye haiN gulaab saare
jo terii yaadoN se mushk-buu haiN
jo tere ushshaaq kaa lahuu haiN

ubal paRe haiN azaab saare
malaal-e-ahvaal-e-dostaaN bhii
Khumaar-e-aaghosh-e-mahvashaaN bhii
Gubaar-e-Khaatir ke baab saare
tere hamaare
savaal...

Jo Na Mil Saka Wo Baywafa
Yeh Bare Ajeeb Si Baat Hai
Jo Chala Gaya Mujhay Chor Kar
Wohi Aaj Tak Mere Saath Hai...

Wo Roshni Kay Khayal Main
Wo Na Asaka Raah Mian Muntazir
Yeh Khalish Kahan Thi Visaal Main
Mere Justojoo Ko Khabar Nahi

Na Wo Din Rahay Na Wo Raat Rahay
Jo Chala Gaya Mujhay Chor Kar
Wohi Aaj Tak Mere Saath Hai..
Kary Pyar Lab Pay Koi Gila Na Hoo

Yeh Kissi Kissi Ka...
