lagta hai...

koi begaana apna ho gaya hai lagta hai

mujhe to ye ek haseen ittefaq lagta hai

kuchh apne nazdeeq hokar bhi ajnabi hain

wo dur rehkar bhi kitna qareeb lagta hai

kaha kuchh bhi nahin ek ehsaas hai jo mehsoos kiya

meri nazron ki zubaan ko usne padh liya, lagta hai

sabut-e-junoon ki ye bhi to ek nishani hai

ab mujhe baarish main bheegna achha lagta hai

wo mere zehan mein bas gaya hai kuchh is tarah

ab mera ghar bhi bhara bhara sa lagta hai

silsila...

silsila na jaane ye kaisa shuru hua hai;

saansein kyun itni mehekne lagi hain

sitaron ki mehfil saji hui hai;

deewangiyaan ye badhne lagi hain;

bhulana bhi chahun khud ko khud se agar

bikharti sham ki parchhaiyaan aaina dikhane lagi hain

kagaz pe yunhi khenchti rehti thi jinhein

wo laqeerein ab tasveerein banne lagi hain

Naseeb...

Ae khuda ek din mujhe yun bhi to naseeb ho

Chahun jise is qadar, wo mere bhi qareeb ho

imtehan mere sabr ka, har hud se hai pare

tu hi mera rehnuma, tu hi mera naseeb ho

mana ki mushkil hai, daur-e-mohabbat

tu hi mera marz, tu hi mera tabeeb ho

tera hi khayal ho, tera hi suroor ho

sochti hun haal tera, mujhsa hi ajeeb ho

Yun to har sham is umeed pe guzar jaati hai

darwaza jab kholun, mere saamne mera habib ho

ye waqt bhi guzar jayega...

Ye waqt bhi guzar jayega; dabe paanv bina koi aahat ke

Jaise jaati hai saanjh bahon mein udaas dhoop ko samet ke

Ye dard bhi behal jayega; zakhm bhar jaane do zara

Jaise nahin rehte kadmon ke nishaan sahilon ki ret pe

Pehchaan bhi na payega; ek umr guzar jaane do zara

Jaise aaine mein ho aks tera koi naya chehra lapet ke

Kaisi bedard hawa...

Kaisi bedard hawa yahan chalne lagi hai

Kahin thandak barsaati hai kahin shola si hoti hai

Aag Hai Lagi Hui Har Taraf Yahan Wahan

Pata nahi kab din kab raat hoti hai

Is daur-e-khizaan ki kahani koi likho

Ye kaisi parchhai hai jo mujhse alag hoti hai

Mat kehna gham-e-zindagi ka haal kisiko

Kabhi jalti kabhi bujhti wo yunhi khaak hoti hai
