intzaar ke andhera mein

jaise chupke se chali aati ho teri payal ki khanak

bas isi intzaar mein, aankhein band ho jati hain

din ke ujale mein meri aksar

 

aisa laga nai ki jamana ho gaya hai tumhe mashroof hue

sath jiye hue pal jaise jindagi ban gaye ho is kadar

jaise adhura chaand intzaar mein hai apni poonam k liyen

badalte hua har paher mujhe umeed de jata hai waise

 

yeh dhokebaaji lafzon ki kahun ya tu hi bewafa ho gayi

ki yakeen toh bas hone hi laga tha mujhe

bikhre hue tukde aur unme samayi hue mere sapne

jise totde waqt teri muskarahat ne hi jaan le li meri

 

 

Jo batein reh gayi adhuri, mohabbat shayad unme hi chupi thi

Jo chale gaye mudke tum, ikraar shayad usi najar mein reh gaya

aksar sochta hun mein un lamho ko, agar mile hote toh mukkamal hoti jindagi

Ki shayad pyaar the mujhe, ya kisi gunah ki saza mili

Baithkar mehfilo mein aksar, tanhayi jiya karta hun mein

Baithkar Teri parchai ke sath, aksar piya karta hun mein

Yeh Khile hue chehre aur hawa mein behta hua shabab

In mehfilo mein aksar labo pe muskan aur sukhe aansun liye baitha karta hun mein

 

Yeh balon se khelti hui hawa,

yeh patton mein chupi sarsarahat

Teri baton Se shuru hue woh kisse, t

eri aankhon mein shuru hue woh sapne

Yeh jalte bujhte se sitare, yeh pani se sate hue kinare

Woh dikhana mujhe tere bachpan ki jhalak,

woh sunana mujhe apne Aks ke kisse

Woh badalon mein dhundhna ek doosre ko

Woh dhundhna teri aankhon mein khudko

Woh chumna tere mathe ko un sidiyon ke padav pe

Jindagi ka itna khubsoorat hona simta hua tha sirf khwahishob mein meri

 

Had hi hi gayin in birishon ki

in Barishon mein bhigne k maza hi kuch aur hai

Ki boonden pad rahi hain aur tan jal raha hai mera

Aise jalne ka maza bhi kuch aur hai

 

Socha aaj khud se batein karun, aur poochun ki kahan galat ho gaya mein

Baat bhi aisi hui khudse ki phir se tujhme kho gaya mein

In yadoon mein jindagi behtar lagti hai

Sach se door, tanhayi behtar lagti hai

Laut aana un lamho se gunaah sa lagta hai

Galtiyan toh maaf ho jati hai, saza toh gunaahon ki hi hoti hai

 

Ab toh chaand bhi ijajat mang raha hai humse juda hone ki

Jaise dekh li ho kisi himshikar pe suraj ki ek kiran usne

Tera khwab bhi tutne ki ijajat maang raha hai Ki use bhi dar hai in kirno se jal jane ka

Is sach mein wapas aane se us tassavur mein jeena behtar lagta hai

Din ki roshni se behtar kali andheri raat lagti hai

Par pyaar bhi toh umar bhar ka hai mera

Ki raton mein jindagi aur din mein sach jiya karta hun mein

 

Ilm bhi hai ikraar bhi nahi

Tu nahi toh teri yaad hi sahi

Tarifen bikhri hui is bazaar mein,

Humari kahani is kadar mashhoor ho gayi

Mohabbat bhi aisi hui humari

Ki shauk-e-bazaar mein nilami ho gayi

 

Is numaish ki jaise aadat ho gayi hai hume

Ki in tareefo ke beech chehra thoda saaf dikhta hai tumhara

Gujarte hain hum kabhi un yaadon se humari

Toh sachhai ko nagavar karna thoda aur sachha sa lagta hai

Ki kashmakash toh yehi hai jindagi ki

Ki jinda hokar bhi hum sapne mein jiya karte hain

 

Aksar poocha karte hain log us prerna ke bare mein

Jawab mein bhi hum bas rab ka naam le diya karte hain

 

Jindagi simati hui hai kuch aksharon mein humari

Jinhe jod ke kabhi naam liya karte the tumhara

Har lamhe ki shiddat-e- koshish hoti hai yeh

Ki tut jaye yeh bandhan humara

Par khuda ke ghar mein itna bhi insaaf kahan

Ki aazadi ki kimat ki aukat bhi toh sirf rahison ki hoti hai
