Yaad-e-Mazi azaab hain Ya Rab..Cheen le mujhse hafiza mera..!!

Yeh Ehtaram-e-Tamanna, yeh Ehtiyat-e-Junoon,
Ke teri baat bhi karoon aur tera naam bhi na loon...!

Is se barh kar zabt ki inteha aur kya hogi 'Faraz',
Woh muhjse lipat ke ro raha tha kisi aur ke liye...!!!

Kuch tabiyat hi mili thi aisi chain se jeene ki soorat na hui,
Jis ko chaha use apana na sake, jo mila us se mohabbat na hui!

Bana lo usey apna jo tumhain chahta ho sanam ,
Khuda ki qasam bari mushkil se mila karte hain ye shiddat se chahne wale!

Jab saza de hi chuke ho to haal kya poochte ho zalim,
Hum agar be-gunah nikle to tumhe afsoos bahut hoga...!

Aag lagi hai mere ghar me bacha hi kya hain,
Maine kaha main bach gaya hoon us ne kaha phir jala hi kya hain..?

Aakar dekh mere dil me kabhi mouka jo mile tujhe 'Ajnabi',
Kitni fursat se bikhera hai tune aashiyana mera..!!

Kitna masoom sa lehja tha us ka 'Faraz',
Dheere se jaan keh kar Be-jaan kar gaya!

Tera rone se un ke dil par kuch asar na hoga 'Aadil',
Ehsaas to unko hota hai jo seene me dil rakhte hon....!

Sun kar tamam raat meri Dastaan-E-Ghum. . . !!!!
Woh muskura k bola bahot boltay ho tum...

Aaj kyu hitchkiyaa aayi dil-e-ajnabi mujhe,
shayad uss shakhs ne bhule se yaad kiya hai..!!

Main jaanta hoon kee yeh khwaab jhoote hain aur yeh khushiyaan adhuree hai,
Magar zinda rehne ke liye mere dost kuch galat fehmiyan zaroori hain!

Badnam hue hum sheher main jis ki wajah se 'Faraz',
Us shakhs ko jee bhar ke hum ne dekha bhi nahi hain..!

Has has ke sunati hain jahan bhar ke fasane,
Poocho tere baare main to ro deti hain baarish!

Meri aankhen bhi ek din ab mujh se keh dengi 'Mohsin',
Khwab mai us ko dekh kar ab hum se roya nai jata.........!!

Hum to us waqt se darte hain ke koi pooch na le..
Yeh agar zabt ka aansoon hain to tapka kaise?????

Jo hairaan hain tumhare zabt par keh do 'Qateel' unse,
Jo daman par nahi girta woh aansoo dil pe girta hain..!

Wo mujh se bichar kar aab tak nahi roya 'Faraz',
Koi to hain humdard jo usey rone nahi deta.....

Ab tujhey aur kya doon main apni wafaon ka saboot,
Ke ab mere haal par hanste hain tere shehar ke log!

Wafa ki aakhri had se guzar liyaa jaaye,
Sitamgaron ke mohalle main ghar liya jaaye!

Dafnaane se pehle mere dil ko nikal lena 'Faraz'
Kahin khaak main na mil jaye mere dil main rehne wala

Najane kis baat pe woh hum se naraaz hai 'Mohsin',
Khwab main bhi milta hai to baat nahi karta..!

Haath zakhmi hue kuch apni hi khata thi,
Maine khismat ki lakeeron ko mitana chaha....!

Tum jismon ke libason pe ho nazan,
Humne roohon ko bekafan hote dekha hai...!

Jab chalay the ghar se to raaston main tanha the,
Tum mile phir gham mile phir qafila sa ban gaya..!

Tark-e-ta'luq ko to sirf ik lamha chahiye,
lekin tamaam umr hum to bus sonchte rahe..!

Tanhai to hain saathi apni zindagi ke har pal ki yaaron,
Chalo yeh shikwa bhi door hua ke kisi ne saath na diya......!

Iss zindagi nay cheen li hain mujhse sharartain meri,
Aur Log Samajhte hain keh bohat sulajh gayi hoon main..!!

Hazaron aib dekhte hain dosron ke pehlu mein 'Ghalib',
Apne kirdaar mein humlog farishtey hon jaise!

Main is liye b apni khwahishaat ko turk kardeta hoon 'Wasi',
Mujhey aksar woh nahi milta jo meri khwahish ban jaye.

Zindagi se hum kuch udhar nahi lete 'Faraz',
Kafan bhi lete hain to zindagi dekar...!

Umr guzri hain jhulaste hue sehraon main,
Kya karenge teri deewar ka sahara lekar..?

Najane us ke dil main mehfilen aabaad hon kitni,
Akela jo bhi baitha ho usey tanha nahi kehte..!

Yun khaali palken jhuka dene se neend nahi aati,
Sukoon se sote to woh log hain jin ke liye koi jaag raha ho..!

'Ajnabi' us ke chehre main chupe dard ko mehsoos to kar,
Woh to has has kar yunhi khud ko saza deta hain!

Jab main dooba to samandar ko bhee hairat hui 'Sahil',
Ajeeb shakhs hai kisi koo pukarta hi nahin....!!

Na jaanay kyu woh log utar jaate hain dil main,
Jin logon say qismat ke sitaray nahi milte........!

Har aib sahi mujh main magar aaj bhi mujh ko,
Apnon se badal jane ka andaaz nahi aaya!

Bohat se raaste aate hein mere dil ki taraf,
Raah-e-Khuloos se aana tum fasla kam padheyga....!

Deewana has raha hain to has lene do yaaron
Bechara baith kar tanhai main roya bhi bahut hain!

Deewar kia giri meray khasta makaan ki,
Logon ne mere sehan main rastey bana liye...

Rabten hadh se bardh jaaye to gham milte hain
Is liye hum auron se zara kam milte hain!

Do chaar nahi faqt mujhe ek dikha do,
Bahar se koi shakhs andar ki tarah ho..!

Is tashnagi ke saath ke aayegi ab bahaar,
Hum ne tamaam umr bita di khiza ke sang!

Madad kyon maangte ho 'Ghalib' auron ke darbar se....
Woh kounsa kaam hain jo hota nahi tere Parwardigaar se...
