Unke Astane Pe

AyaN hai Koh-e-toor ka manzar unke astane pe
Chipe hain lakhoN pas-manzar unke astane pe

Bhatak raha tha Konain ki do rahon pe
Mila hai Jam-e-kausar unke astane pe

Yeh Junon-o-Ishq, yeh fana-o-baqa aur yeh bekhudi
Khuli hai raz-e-haqeeqat unke astane pe

Nasha aisa ki utarta nahin ab kyonkar
Mila hai saqi koi aisa unke astane pe

Chali simte ghayb se ek hawa aur machi halchal
Qafas udas ho kyonkar unke astane pe

Kya poochte ho usko kya mil gaya kaise
Jo kho chuka ho sab unke astane pe

Jo kuch nazar ata hai tu hi to nazar ata hai
Hui hai kaisi basharat unke astane pe

Ab kahan khojein kahan payein kise apna
Bana hai voh jo hamsafar tere astane pe

KruN phir sajdah yahaN dam bhar ke haider
Bana hun ghulam-e-mustafa tere astane pe

char din ki zindagi

Mahfil-e-Noor main pashemaaN hai char din ki zindagi
khud se juda hoke khud ki nigehbaaN hai aj kal ki zindagi

Is zindagi main nayi zindagi talashti hai zindagi
naye ufaq pe naya mehboob sanwarti hai zindagi

kyon is tarah phir apne ko pukarti hai zindagi
jaise sukoot-e-shab main kraharti hai zindagi

mere raqeeeb mere hamsafar mere shan-e-zindagi
mujh se rooth ke phir mujh ko manati hai zindagi

kabhi to apni khudi ki pahchaN kar aye zindagi
varna dar badar bhatakti rahegi pareshaN aye zindagi

kyon muskurata hai

subh pe sham pe kyon muskurata hai
tasawur pe khayal pe kyon muskurata hai

bazm-e-aam pe aur chalakte jaam pe
har ek baam pe kyon muskurata hai

sukot-e-shab pe aur ravish-e-dauraaN pe
dil-e-nadaaN pe kyon muskurata hai

taqdeer pe aur tadbeer ki aashufta giri pe
majrooh mohabbaton pe kyon muskurata hai

Rubaroo

mahfil-e-rubaroo main tu raz-e-guftagoo ban ja
jo jal rahi hai shama tu uski abroo ban ja

nahi tera koi sanee, nahin tera koi hamsar
gar hai haqeeqat, tu uski arzoo ban ja

ab firaq-e-yaar main koi jiye kyonkar
visal-e-yaar ki tu justujoo ban ja

Ishq ki sarhadoN se

ishq ki sarhadon se uthke main tawaaf karta hun
yun is tarah main apne junoon ka ietraaf karta hun

karun lafzon main bayaan to lafz nahin milte
ghazal to khud banti hai jab tera deedar karta hun

mera dil kisi shak main mubttaila ho kyuN
main teri har baat pe aitbaar karta huN

duniyan main mahabbaton ki kami si hai
har ek baat pe jo main fasaad karta huN

khuda ne dhoondh liya mujhko meri tanhayi main
yeh voh azmayish hai ki jiska main izhaar karta huN

Haqeeqat-e-Yaar

Munatzir hai har shab haqeeqat-e-yaar dekh le
jo visal-e-yaar ka ho shak to aj dekh le
udhar se aftab usko salam karta hai
idhar se mahtab ki rangat tamaam dekh le

Dariya-e-neel se ek shola jo ban ke aya hai
saba ne jiske liye naya geet gungunaya hai
zameen pe charo taraf khushnama si rangat hai
jalw-e-yaar main poshida subh-oshaam dekh le

labon pe ake haruf ek nazam si banti hai
kam sukhan ke liye ek ghazal si banti hai
na koi shakl na soorat mere yaar ki hai
mujhe talash hai jiski na usko koi delhle

Ek Koshish

khudi main khud ko bhula khud ka pata dhoondhta hun
sarhadoN pe main qadmoN ke nishAN dhoondhta huN

Mera yaar hai mere paas aur main bekhabar
na jane kis makaN main lamakaaN dhoondhta hun

tere qareeb aur tujhse juda hone ke baad
jo fasle tai kiye unko yahaan dhoondhta huN

meri vahshat teri shohrat aur yeh mera intezaar
jab tu na mila to dar dar pe khara dhoondhta hun

sab mushkile ho asaN jo tu ek nazar dekh le
tu ho gaya ab mera to kya dhondhta huN.
