Yun Toh Jaate Maine Usse Roka Bhi Nahi

yun toh jaate maine usse roka bhi nahi,

pyar uss_se na raha ho mera aisa bhi nahi

maang leta mohobat bhi main bhikari ban kar,

dard seene mein bohat tha magar itna bhi nahi

muntazir main na tha kisi shaam uska,

aur waade pe shaks woh kabhi aaya bhi nahi

ab uski bhi shehzad shikayat hai yehi,

pyar toh door maine usse chaha bhi nahi

2.

Ladhkhadaate Huye Kadmon Ko Sambhala Jaye

ladh_kha_daate hue kadmon ko sambhala jaye,

nasha-e-mai se anaa-jism nikaala jaye

dil hi toota hai koi qayamat toh nahi aa padhi,

iltawa mein na kisi kaam ko daala jaye

zindagi bhar ka safar saath katta hai iske,

laash ke pair se kaanta na nikaala jaye

na safar ho, na hamsafar ho, na safar ki manzil,

abke shehzad ko us raha pe dala jaye

Ujale Iss Qadar Benoor Kyon Hain

ujale is qadar be_noor kyon hain,

kitabein zindagi se door kyon hain

kabhi yun ho pathar chaut khaye

hardam aaine hi chhor kyon hain

ik shakla hi to cheeni hai aankhon se

ye saare khwab chikna-choor kyon hain

(shakla-face, chehera)

Yun Toh Tere Dushman Ke Tarafdar Bhi Hum The

Yun toh tere dushman ke tarafdar bhi hum thay

par hum hi jante hain tere yaar bhi hum thay

asaan thay itna ke tera pair tha dil par

duniya ke liye yun bade dushwar bhi hum thay

haqiqat yeh ek aur bhi hai jaanan ki,

teri nafrat bhi hum tera pyar bhi hum thay

ik taare ne tuut ke yaaron, kya unko samjhaaya hai

rang birangi is mehfil mein, tum kyuun itane chup chup ho
bhuul bhi jaao paagal logon, kya khoya kya paaya hai
