Puraney shehron ke manzar nikalney lagtey hain

Puraney shehron ke manzar nikalney lagtey hain
zamin jahan bhi khuley ghar nikalney lagtey hain

main kholta hun sadaf motiyon k chakkar me
magar yahan bhi samandar nikalney lagtey hain

to nakhoono sey khurach kar nikaliye sona
gar kudal sey patthar nikalney lagtey hain

hasin lagtey hain jaadon me subah k manzar
sitarey dhup pehen kar nikalney lagtey hain

bure dino sey bachana mujhey mere maula
karibi dost bhi bachkar nikalney lagtey hain

bulandiyon ka tasawwur bhi khub hota hai
kabhi kabhi to mere par nikalney lagtey hain

agar khyal bhi aye k tujhko khat likhun
to ghonslo sey kabutar nikalney lagtey hain

Sulagte harf ka nashsha utaarne waale

Sulagte harf ka nashsha utaarne waale
Ghazal utaar sahifaa utaarne waale

Ye bhul mat ke abhi sar pe aasman bhi hai
Kisi ke sar ka dupatta utaarne waale

Woh aaj chalne lagey paayenche utthaye huye
Kabhi chadaa hua dariya utaarne waale

Bitthaye phirtey hain duniya ko apni palkon par
Meri nigaah se duniya utaarne waale

Akelepan ke siyaah naag das rahe hain mujhe
Madad parindo ka joda utaarne waale

Mazaak bante hain andekhe haadson ke liye
Zara si baat par chehraa utaarne waale

Hamaari jaan ke dushman bane huye hain aaj
humaari jaan ka sadkaa utaarne waale

na mai kanghi banata hoon na mai choti banata hoon

na mai kanghi banata hoon na mai choti banata hoon
ghazal me aap biti ko mai jag biti banata hoon

ghazal wo tif ne nazuk hai jise apni rifaqat se
wo mehbooba banata hai mai beti banata hoon

mere aagan ki kaliyo ko tamanna shahzadon ki
magar meri bhi majboori k mai bidi banata hoon

wazarat chand ghanto ki mahal meenaar se ooncha
mai aurangzeb hoo apne liye khichdi banata hoon.

Ajnabi khwahishen seene main daba bhi na sakoon

Ajnabi khwahishen seene main daba bhi na sakoon
Aise ziddi hain parinde ke uda bhi na sakoon

Foonk daloonga kisi roz ye dil ki duniya
Ye tera khat to nahi hai ke jala bhi na sakoon

Meri gairat bhi koi shaye hai ki mehfil main mujhe
Usne is tarah bulaya hai ki jaa bhi na sakoon

Ek na ek roz kahin dhoond hi loonga tujhko
Thokaren zahar nahin hain ki main kha bhi na sakoon

Phal to sab mere darakhton ke pake hain lekin
Itni kamzor hain shaakhen ki hila bhi na sakoon

Teergi chaand ke zeene se sahar tak pahunchi

Teergi chaand ke zeene se sahar tak pahunchi
Zulf kaandhe se jo utari to kamar tak pahunchi

Maine puchha tha ke ye haath main patthar kyun hai
Baat jab aage badi to mere sar tak pahunchi

Main to soya tha magar barha tujhse milne
Jism se aankh nikalkar tere ghar tak pahunchi

Tum to suraj ke pujari ho tumhe kya maloom
Raat kis haal main kat kat ke sahar tak pahunchi

Log to sirf kharabi pe nazar rakhte hain
Mere aibon ki saza mere hunar tak pahunchi

Paas se dekho jugnu aansu, dur se dekho tara aansu

Paas se dekho jugnu aansu, dur se dekho tara aansu
Mai phoolon ki sej pe baita aadhi raat ka tanha aansu

Mausam ki khushbu me aksar gum ki khushbu mil jaati hai
Aamo ke baago me kaise saawan saawan barsa aansu

Apne bachpan ka kissa hai ek tasveer banayi us ne
Mehandi wale haat rache the beech hateli tapka aansu

Ek gaon me do baaratein shayad dulha badal gaya hai
Meri aankh me tera aansu teri aankh me mera aansu

Meri aankhon ne aksar gum ke dono pehlu dekhe
Thehar gaya pathtar aansu, beh nikla to dariya aansu

Pyar ajab talwar hai jis pe hum dono ke naam likhe the
Tehni tehni kaliyan aansu, paththar paththar jharna aansu
