Deep aise bujhe phir jale hee nahin
zakhm itane mile phir sile bhee nahin
vyarth kismat pe rone se kya faayada
Soch lena ki ham tum mile bhee nahin
Sitaaron se aage jahaan aur bhee hain
abhee ishq ke “imtihaan” aur bhee hain
tahee ”zindagee” se nahin ye fazaen
yahaan saikadon kaaravaan aur bhee hain.!
jo kie hee nahin kabhee mainne,
vo bhee vaade nibha raha hoon main.
mujhase phir baat kar rahee hai vo,
phir se baaton me aa raha hoon main !
kaheen par jag lie tum bin, kaheen par so lie tum
bin. bharee mahaphil mein bhee aksar, akele ho lie tum
bin ye pichhale chand varshon kee kamaee saath hai apane kabhee
to hans lie tum bin, kabhee to ro lie tum bin.
tire ishq kee ”intiha” chaahata hoon
miree ”saadagee” dekh kya chaahata hoon
ye jannat “mubaarak” rahe zaahidon ko
ki main aap ka saamana chaahata hoon .
jaanate ho tum bhee phir bhee ”ajanaan” banate ho
is tarah hamen “pareshaan” karate ho.
poochhate ho tumhe kiya pasand hai
javaab khud ho phir bhee “savaal” karate ho.
jalaam-e-bahar mein kho kar sanbhal ja
tadap ja pech kha kha kar badal ja
nahin saahil tiree kismat mein ai mauj
ubhar kar jis taraph chaahe nikal ja
tere ishq kee intaha chaahata hoon
meree saadagee dekh kya chaahata hoon
bharee bazm mein raaz kee baat kah dee
bada be-adab hoon , saza chaahata hoon
ye kaphan, ye qabr, ye janaaze rasm e
shareeyat hai ikabaal maar to insaan tab
hee jaata hai jab yaad karane vaala koee na ho..!
