Jo Pyaar MeiN Lut Jaatey HaiN…

ban tthan ke jaanaa hai apne janaazey meiN,
aur toH jahaaN gayey yuuN hi lautana paDDaa.

****
na tu buDDapa der se aayaa,
0′ jawaani jhuumati aayii
wo hi kaheyN aisaa jiheyN
pareshanii nahiiN aayii,
hameyN na din ko aayaa chain,
shab suhaani nahiiN aayiiN,
tthahrii sii rahii zindagii,
mauj-o-ravaani nahiiN aayii.

****

banaa banaa ke kahiye kya dil ki baat hogii,
dil ki baat wo jo ufan ke aaye nikal ke maaney.

****

kya bura ke kar waada toDD ke maar deyN,
bura hai na kar waada zinda gaadhh deyN.

****

bas ek hi jawaab hai har sawaal ka,
taaqat usiki karo saamna wabaal ka.

****

khel aisa muhabbat ka hai bas haartey jaanaa hai,
jeet jaayeN dil meiN aaye to kahaaN tthikaana hai.

****

jo pyaar meiN lut jaatey haiN,
zakhmoN pe zakhm khaatey haiN,
uuf karney se katraatey haiN,
chupchap aansu bahaatey haiN.

****

ham-dard na hua ham-zabaan ho tu kya
ham-safar na hua ham-khyaal ho tu kya,
ham-sheer ho tu kya ham-shakl ho tu kya,
ham-watan ho tu kya ham-naam ho tu kya.

****

guzishta zindagi meiN hamney badey tuufaan dekhey haiN,
matlabii yaar dekhey haiN badey beiimaan dekhey haiN,
khatr-e-jaan dekhey haiN aur kai suleimaan dekhey haiN,
na dekha tum jaisa nahiiN dekha jispe jaan detey haiN.
