Is nadi ki dhaar me thandi hawa aati to hai

Is nadi ki dhaar me thandi hawa aati to hai
naav jarjar hi sahi lahro se takrati to hai

Ek chingaari kahi se dhoond laayo dosto
Is diye me tel se bheegi huyi baati to hai

Ek khandahar ke hriday si,ek jungli phool si
Aadmi ki peer gungi hi sahi gaati to hai

Ek chadar saanjh ne sare shehar par dal di
Is andhere ki sadak us bhor tak jaati to hai

Banjar maidan mein leti hui nadi
Patharon ki ot mein ja ja ke batiyati to hai

Dukh nahi koi ab uplabdhiyon ke naam par
Kuch ho na ho aakash si chati to hai

Ek gudiya ki kai kathaputliyon mein jaan hai

Ek gudiya ki kai kathaputliyon mein jaan hai
aaj shayar ye tamasha dekh kar hairaan hai

khaas sadaken band hain tab se marammat ke liye
ye humare waqt ki sabse badi pahchaan hai

ek budha aadami hai mulk mein ya youn kaho
is andheri kothari mein ek roshandaan hai

maslahat aameez hote hain siyaasat ke kadam
tu na samajhega siyaasat tu abhi insaan hai

is kadar pabandi-e-mazahab ki sadaken aapki
jab se aazadi mili mulk mein ramzaan hai

kal numaaish mein mila wo cheethardhe pahne hue
maine poocha naam to bola hindustaan hai

mujh mein rahte hain karodon log chup kaise rahoon
har ghazal ab saltanat ke naam ek bayaan hai

Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chaahiye

Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chaahiye
Is Himalay se koi Ganga nikalni chaahiye

Aaj ye deewaar pardo ki tarah hilne lagi
Shart lekin thi ke ye buniyaad hilni chaahiye

Har sadak par har gali mein har nagar har gaanv mein
Haath lahraate huye har laash chalni chaahiye

Sirf hungaama khada karna mera maksad nahi
Saari koshish hai ke ye soorat badalni chaahiye

Mere seene mein nahi to tere seene mein sahi
Ho kahin bhi aag lekin aag jalni chaahiye

jin havaaon ne tujh ko dularaayaa
un mein merii gazal rahii hogii

 Maapdand badlo

Meri pragati yaa agati kaa
Yeh maapdand badlo tum
Juye ke patte saa
Main abhi anischit hun

Muj par har or se chote paR rahi hai
kole ugg rahi hai
pattiyaa jar rahi hai
Main nayaa banne ke liye khraad par chaR rahaa hun
laRta huaa
Na_ii raah gaRtaa huaa aage baRh rahaa hun

Agar iss laRaii mein meri saanse ukhaR ga_ii
Mere baajuu tuut gaye
Mere charno mein aandhiyo ke samuh thahar gaye
Mere adhro ppar tarangaakul sangeet jam gayaa
Yaa mere maathe par sharm kii lakiire khinch ga_ii
tou muje paraajit mat maannaa
Samjhnaa-
Tab aur bhii baRe paimaane par
Mere hriday mein asantosh ubal rahaa hogaa
Meri ummidon ke sainiko kii paraajit panktiyaa
Ek baar aur
Shakti aajmaane ko
Dhool mein kho jaane yaa kuchh ho jaane ko
Machal rahii hogi
Ek aur awsar kii pratikshaa mein
Man kandilen jal rahi hogii

Ye jo fafole taluon mein deekh rahe hai
Ye mujko uksaate hai
Pindlion kii ubhari hu_ii nase
Muj par vyang kartii hai
Munh ar paRi yovan kii jurriyaa
kasam deti hai
Kuch bhi ho ab, Tay hai-
Mujko aashnakaon par kaabuu paanaa hai
Patthar ke siine mein
Prtidhvani jagaate huye
Parichit un raahon mein ek baat
Vijay-geet gaate huye jaanaa hai -
Jinme main haar chukaa hun

Meri ragati yaa agati kaa
Yeh maapdand badlo tum
Main abhi anischit hun

 Suchanaa

Kal maan ne yeh kahaa -
ki usaki shaadi tay ho ga_ii kahin par,
Main muskaya vahan maun
Ro diyaa kintu kamre mein aakar
jese do duniya ho mujko
Mera kamraa aur mera ghar.
