aaj kal...

Aaj kal kahan kagaz par koi kuchh likhta hai

Ab waqt guzaarne mein bahut waqt lagta hai

Wo baat aur thi jab chaand sitaron se saje khat aatey the

Ab hosh-o-hawaas ki khabar dene ki fursat nahi, lagta hai

Laqeerein taqdeer ki hain ya likhi hain kalam se

ye sawaal ka jawaab wahi hairan si khamoshi hai, lagta hai

Is berukhi, badalti duniya ka khuda koi nahin
Bahut dinon se aksar mujhe aisa lagta hai

Na jaane kyun...

Na koi kavita
Na koi geet
Na hi hai koi rishta tum se
Phir bhi na jaane kyun
Meri hasrat, mera junoon ban jate ho tum
Tumhe nazar andaz kar sakun
Yeh koshish lakh baar ki lekin
Meri shayari, mera sangeet ban jaate ho tum
Na koi dua
Na koi dava
Na hi hai koi umeed tum se
Phir bhi na jaane kyun
Meri dhadkan, mere ehsaas ban jate ho tum
Meri pehchaan, mere alfaaz ban jate ho tum

Qatra Qatra...

Qatra qatra pighal rahi hun main

khafa khafa si chal rahi hun main

kya yahi wafa ka sila hai

tinka tinka bikhar rahi hun main

jalta kya sirf parwana hai

zarra zarra jal rahi hun main

ghutan yahan ye kaisi hai

dhuan dhuan ulajh rahi hun main

is aaghaz ka anjaam kya hai

lamha lamha mit rahi hun main

zaroori to nahin...

zindagi yun to guzarti hai magar;

bas main ho mere, ye zaroori to nahin

khamoshi yun to bolti hai magar;

wo samajh lein ise, ye zaroori to nahin

jise dhoondti hai har mod pe nazar;

wo mil jaaye mujhe, ye zaroori to nahin

khwaishein to bahut hain magar;

muqammal hon, ye zaroori to nahin

kami nahin meri parastish mein magar;

dua qubool hogi, ye zaroori to nahin

Kyun...

Ek umr beeti un tanhaiyon ko guzre

Phir bhi meri aankhon mein nami kyun hai

Tod diya jisne aitbar insaniyat se mera

Wo ab bhi mujhe lagta apna sa kyun hai

Jiski yaadon ko pal pal nikala hai maine

Wo aaj bhi meri zindagi mein shamil kyun hai

Khatam hua jo afsaana kabhi ka

Phir bhi meri saanson mein jeevit kyun hai
