Dil bhii karataa hai yaad chhup ke tujhe
Naam leti nahi zubaan tera..

Na Shikaayate(n) na gilaa Kare,

Koi aisa shaks huwa kare!

Jo mere liye hi sajaa kare!

Mujh hi se baate(n) kiya kare…

Kabhi roye jaae voh be-panah,

Kabhi be-tahaasha udaas ho,

Kabhi chupke chupke dabe qadam,

Mere peechay aa ke hansaa kare

Meri Qurbate(n) meri Chaahate(n)

Koi yaad kare qadam-qadam

Mein Taveel safar mein hoon agar,

Meri waapsi ki duaa kare….

yaro sukoot hi ko sada keh lia karo

Khud ko fareb do kay na ho talkh zindagi

har sangdil ko jaan-e-vafa keh lia karo

Yaro ye daur, zauf-e-basarat ka daur hay

Aandhi uthay to is ko ghata keh lia karo

Insan ka agar qad-o-qamat na baDh sakay

tum is ko nuqs-e-aab-o-hawa keh dia karo

Apnay liay ab aik hi raah-e-najaat hay

har zulm ko raza-e-Khuda keh lia karo

Lay day kay ab yahi hay nishan-e-zia Qateel

jab dil jalay to usko dia keh lia karo

Dayain hain hamesha zulm-o-sitam, duniya nay mohabaat waalon par,
Do dil ko kabhi milnay na diya, deewaar uthayee logon nay !

Aankhon say na aansoo poch sakey, hothon pay khushi dekhi na gayee,
Aabaad jo dekha ghar mera, to aag lagayee logon nay !

Tanhayee ka saathi mil na saka, rusvai mein shaamil shaher hua,
Pehlay to mera dil tod diya, phir Eid manayee logon nay !

Is daur mein jeena mushkil hai, ae `Ashq' koi aasaan nahin,
Har ik kadam par marnay ki, ab rasam chalayee logon nay !

Gamon nay baant liya hai mujhay yun aapas mein,
Ki jaisay main koi loota hua khazana tha !

Yeh kya ki chand hi kadmon pay thak kay baith gayey,
Tumhay to saath mera door tak nibhana tha !

Mujhay jo meray lahoo mein bigo kay guzra hai,
Woh koi gair nahin yaar ik purana tha !

Kisi bhi satah pe koi to raab`taa rakhna

Madad ki tum se tawakko to khair kya hogi…

Ghareeb-e-shahar-e-sitam hoon, mera pataa rakhna

Marenge aur hamaare siwa bhi tum pe bahot

Ye jurm hai to phir is jurm ki saza rakhna

Naye safar pe rawaana huwa hai az-sar-e-nau

Jab aaoonga to mera naam bhi naya rakhna

Hisaar-e-shauk utthaana "Zafar" zarorr magar

Kisi tarf se nikalne ka raasta rakhna

Mom ki zindgi ghulaa karna!

Kuch kisi se na Taskara karna

Mera bachpan thaa aainay jaisa

Har khilone ka moo, taka karna

Chehraa chehraa meri kitaabe(n) hai…

Padhne walo! Mujhe padhaa karna

Ye Riwaayat bahot puraani hai

Neend mein rait par chala karna!

Raate mein kayee khandhar honge!

Shah-Sawaaro(n) waha ruka karna

Jab bahot hans chuko to chehray ko!

Aansoo(n) se bhi dho liya karna

Phool Shaakho(n) ke ho, ki aankho ke…

Raaste raaste chunaa karna!

Guzar gaya jaras-e-gul udaas kar ke mujhe…

Mein so raha thaa kisi yaad ke shabistaan mein…

Jaga ke Chod gaye qaafile sahar ke mujhe!

Mein ro raha thaa mukaddar ki sakht raaho(n) mein

Udaa ke le gaya jadoo teri nazar ka mujhe…

Mein teri dard ki tugiyaaniyo(n) mien doob gaya

Pukaarte rahe taare ubhar ubhar ke mujhe!

Tere Firaak ki raate(n) bhi na bhoolengi mujhe!

Maza milay inhi raato(n) mein umr bhar ke mujhe

Zara si dair theharnay de ai gham-e-duniyaa

Bulaa raha hai koi baam se uttar ke mujhe

Phir aaj aai thee ek mauj-e-hawaa-e-tarab

Sunaa gayee hai fasaane idhar udhar ke mujhe!

baad mere ko_ii mujh saa na milegaa tum ko
Khaak mein kis ko milaate ho ye kyaa karate ho

cheentay paani ke na do, neend bhari aankho(n) par

sote fitne ko jagaate ho ye kyaa karate ho

ham to dete nahi kyaa ye bhi zabardastii hai
chheen kar dil liye jaate ho ye kyaa karate ho

ho na jaai kahi daaman kaa churaanaa mushkil !
mujh ko deewaana banaate ho ye kyaa karate ho ?

raat jalatii huwi ek aisii chitaa hai jis par
terii yaade(n) hai(n) sulaghte huye sandal ki tarha

tu ki dariyaa hai magar merii tarah pyaasaa hai
mein tere paas chalaa aaoonga baadal kii tarha

mein hoon ik Khwaab magar, jaagatii aankho(n) ka "Ameer"
aaj bhii log gavaa(n) de na mujhe kal kii tarah

Har khushi jaise ajnabi hai abhi..

Phir Badhe hai kadam teri jaanib

Tere gham mein bhi dil-kashi hai abhi

Mein bhi tujh se bichaad ke sar-gardan

Teri aankho mein bhi nami hai abhi

Mein ne manaa bahot andhera hai

Phir bhi thodi si raushni hai abhi

Ang`daai bhi vo lene na paya utthaa ke haath

dekhaa mujhe to chho.D diye muskuraa ke haath

Be-saakhtaa nigaahe jo aapas mein mil gayee…

Kyaa mooh pe us ne rakh liye aankhe(n) churaa ke haath

Vo zaano(n) pe seena chupana simat ke haai!

Aur phir sambhaalnaa vo dupataa, churdaa ke haath..

Dena vo uska saaghar-e-may yaad hai "Nizaam"

Mooh pher ke udhar ko, idhar ko badhaa ke haath

Dil khoon ho raha thaa magar dekhte rahe

Kuch din ye bhi rang raha intezaar mein..

Aankh utth gayee jidhar, bas udhar dekhte rahe..

Jab aashiyaan ki yaad aseeri mein aa gayee…

Udd`tay huwe havaa mein sharar dekhte rahe..

Suntay rahi ki dekh liya jalwa be-hijaab

Apna bhi sab fareb-e-nazar dekhte rahe

Is waaste ki aur ghate mol jins ka..

Matalub un ko dil thaa jigar dekhte rahe

Samaan-e-sad-hazaar tamashaa thi be-khudi

Aankhe(n) thee band aur "Asar" dekhte rahe

ham tarasate hii taraste hii tarasate hii rahe

kaash Khwaabo(n) hi mein aa jaao bahot tanha hoon

Ya mere zehan se yaado(n) ke diye gul kar do..

mere ahsaas ki duniyaa ko mitaa do hum-dum..

raat taare nahi, angaare liye aati haiin

baraste huwe sholo(n) ko bujhaad o hum-dum

dil ki dharkan ko sulaa jaao, bahot tanha hoon

Andheri rat mein jab chaadn khilne lagta hai

tumhaare pyaar ke deepak jalaa ke rota hoon..

Tumhaare aane ki jab aaas jaane lagtee hai..

mien in chiraago(n) ko khud hi bujhaa ke rota hoon

Zindgi aisi mita jaao bahot tanha hoon

Sochte Sochte, jab soch bhi marr jaati hai

waqt ke qadmo(n) ki aahat to sunaa karta hoon

ashq tham`te hai to aaho(n) ko sunaa karta hoon

Raat bhar yu hi tadaptaa hoon jalaa karta hoon...

Baar-e-Gham kuch to ghataa jaao, Bahot tanhaa hoon

Mere aansoo`on pe nazar na kar, mera shikva sun le khafaa na ho

Us se zindgi ka bhi haq nahi, jise dard-e-ishw milaa na ho

Ye Inaayate(n), Ye nawaazishe(n), mere dard-e-dil ki davaa nahi…

Mujhe us nazar ki talaash hai jo adaa shanaas-e-wafaa na ho…

Tujhe kya bataao mein be-khabar, ki hai dard-e-ishq mein kya asar,

Ye hai voh latfeef si kaifiyat, jo zubaan tak aaye, adaa na ho…

Ye sharaab rez-e-haseen ghataa jo hai "kaif" naazish-e-may`qadah..

Kisi tashna-kaam ki arzoo, kisi tashna lab ki duaa na ho..

Ek Chehraa saath saath raha, jo milaa nahi

Kisko Talaash karte, rahe, kuch pataa nahi

Shiddat ki dhoop, tez hawaao(n) ke ba-wajood

Mein shaakh se giraa hoon, Nazar se giraa nahi

Aakhir ghazal ka taaj mehal bhi hai makbara

Hum zindgi thay humko, kisi ne jiya nahi..

Jiski mukhaalifat huwi, mashoor ho gaya

In pattharo(n) se koi parindaa giraa nahi

Taareekiyo(n) mein aur chamakti hai dil ki dhoop

Soorat tamaam raat yehaan doob`taa nahi…

Kisne jalaai bastiyaan, bazaar kyon lute…

Mein chaand par gaya thaa, mujhe kuch pataa nahi

Zindgi jis koi mayassar huwi jal jaane se…

Maut ka khauf ho kya ishq ke deewaane ko…

Maut khud kaamp`tee hai ishq ke deewaane se..

Ho gaya dher wahi aah bhi nikli na koi

Jaane kya baat kahi shamma ne parwaane se…

Husn be-ishq kahi reh nahi sakta zindaa

Bujh gayee shamaa bhi parwaane se jal jaane se

Khaaye jaati hai nidaamat mujhe is ghaflat ki…

Hosh mein aa ke chalaa aaya hoon maikhaane se…

Kar diya gardish-e-aiyaam ne ruswaa "Saahir"

Mujh ko shikwaa hia yagaane se na be-ghaane se..

Haadsay kya kya tumhaari berukhi se ho gaye

Sari duniya ke liye hum ajnabi se ho gaye….

Gardish-e-dauraa(n), Zamaane ki nazar aankho(n) ki neend

Kitne dushman ek rasm-e-dosti se ho gaye…

Kuch tumhaare geysoo(n) ki barhami ne kar diya

Kuch andhere mere ghar mein raushni se ho gaye…

Yu to hum aagaah thay, saiyaad ki tadbeer se..

Hum aasir-e-daam-e-gul apni khudi se ho gaye..

Phir wahi daanista thokar khaaiye…

Phir meri aagosh mein girr jaaiye…

Meri duniya muntazir hai aapki…

Apni duniya chod kar aa jaaiye…

Ye hawa, "Saaghar ye halki chaandi,

Jee mein aata hai yahee marr jaaiye…

Pyaas voh dil ki bujhaane kabhi aaya bhi nahi

Roz aata hia dar-e-dil pe vo dastak dene

Aaj tak humne jise paas bulaaya bhi nahi

Sun liye kaise khudaa jaane zamaane bhar ne

Voh fasaane jo kabhi humne sunaaya bhi nahi

Tum to shaayar ho "qateel" aur voh ek aam sa shaks...

us ne chahaa bhi tujhe aur jataaya bhi nahi
