Kahan Ho...

mere sirhane tera naqsh pada hai,
fursat mile to aake dekh lena,
khwahishoun ke bistar pe chaahat ka phool pada hai.

timtimate huye diye main tera aks pada hai,
raat ki beqarari se kya poochhna,
aankh khule to dekh lena, subah ki laali main mera dard pada hai.

Beqarari...

bahar baarish ne fiza ko tar kar rakha hai,
andar dil main mere, teri judai ne aag laga rakha hai.
kahan ghayab ho tum itne dinoun se,
kaise bataun dil main kitna maine zakhm bhar rakha hai.


wada karke yun toda na karo,
kuch bole bina yun mujhe adhoora chhora na karo.
raat abhi lambi hai bahut,
yun mujhe tanha choor ke akele soya na karo.

Ehsaas kuch aisa...

teri neem kash aankhein, tere zulfoun ki narmi
kab palak jhapakne deti hai, kab mujhe sone deti hai.

teri aankhoun ki haya, teri baatoun ki adaa
kab aankhein meechne deti hai, kab mujhe chain deti hai.

yeh tanhai, yeh dooriyaan, yeh waqt ka soonapan
kab sukoon deti hai, kab mujhe tere aaghosh main aane deti hai.


iztiraab to mujhe bhi hai tumse door rehne ka,
iqtizaa to mujhe bhi hai tumse milne ka.
bandishoun ne mere parwaz ko rok rakha hai,
afsos, koi par nahi khuda ne mujhe de rakha hai.

Aadaabe ......

gar chingari ho kisi dil main to use hawa na dena,
aaghaaze guftagu main anjaame niha ko talaashna.

ikhlaas se milna par aadaab na bhoolna,
buland-o-bala ho rawish par shiqafat na chhorna.

zindagi hizaqat hi to hai, tum mano ya na mano,
bulbula ban kar na reh jaye, kabhi zarb na chhorna.
