Itna bhi hum se naraz na hua kar

Itna bhi hum se naraz na hua kar 

Bad'naseeb zaroor hain par be'wafa nahin

Kisi aur ko meray haal se na gharz hai na koi wasta

Kisi aur ko meray haal se na gharz hai na koi wasta 

Main bikhar gaya hoon smait lo, main bigar gaya hoon sanwaar do

Meri zaat zarah-e-be'nishaan

Meri zaat zarah-e-be'nishaan 

Main woh kis tarah se karoon biyaan 

Jo kiye gaye hain sitam yahan 

Sunay kon meri yeh daastaan

Koi hamnasheen hai na raaz'daan 

Jo tha jhoot woh bana sach yahan 

Nahin kholi magar main ne zubaan 

Yeh akela pan yeh udasiyaan 

Meri zindagi ki hain tarjumaan 

Meri zaat zarah-e-be'nishaan 

Kabhi sooni subha main dhoondna 

Kabhi ujri shaam ko dekhna

Kabhi bheegi palkon se jaagna 

KAbhi beetay lamhon ko sochna 

MAgar ik pal hai umeed ka 

Hai mujhe khuda ka jo asaraa

Nahin main ne koi gila kiya 

Na hi main ne di hain dohaiyaan

Meri zaat zarah-e-be'nishaan 

Main batayon kiya mujhe kiya milay

Mujhe sabar hi ka sila milay 

Kisi yaad hi ki rida milay

Kisi dard hi ka sila milay 

Kisi gham ki dil main jaga milay 

Jo mera hai woh mujhe aa milay 

Rahay shaad youn hi mera jahan 

Keh yaqeen main badlay mera gumaan 

Meri zaat zarah-e-be'nishaan

Kaisay in lamhon main teray paas aayon

Kaisay in lamhon main teray paas aayon 

Sagar gehra , raat andheri, main tanha

Pathar hai teray haath main ya koi phool hai

Pathar hai teray haath main ya koi phool hai 

JAb tu qabool hai tera sab kuch qabool hai 

Phir tu ne de diya hai naya faasla mujhe

Sar pe abhi to pichli musaafat ki dhool hai 

Tu dil pe bojh le ke mulaqaat ko na aa 

Is juram main to teri judai qabool hai 

Tu yaar hai to itni karri gutagoo na kar 

Tera asool hai to mera bhi asool hai 

Lafzon ki abroo ko ganwao na youn "adeem"

Jo maanta nahin ussay kehna fazool hai

Sookhay hont sulagti aankhain , sarsoon jaisa rang

Sookhay hont sulagti aankhain , sarsoon jaisa rang 

Barson baad woh dekh ke mujh ko dekh ke reh jaye ga dang

Maazi ka woh lamha mujh ko aaj bhi khoon rulaye ga 

Ukhri ukhri baatain us ki ghairon jaisay dhang 

Dil ko to pehlay hi dard ki deemak chaat gayi thi 

Rooh ko bhi ab khaata jaye tanhai ka zang 

Inhi ke sadqay ya'rab meri mushkil kar asaan 

Meray jaisay aur bhi hain jo dil ke haathon tang 

Sab kuch de ke hans di aur phir kehnay lagi taqdeer 

Kabhi na ho gi teray dil ki poori aik umang 

Kiyon na apni chooriyon ko kirchi kirchi kar daloon 

Dekhi aaj aik sundar naari piyaaray piya ke sang 

Shabnam koi tum se haaray , jeet pe maan na karna 

Jeet woh ho gi jab jeeton gi apnay aap se jung

Ab karb ke toofaan se guzarna hi paray ga

Ab karb ke toofaan se guzarna hi paray ga 

Suraj ko samandar main utarna hi paray ga 

Fitrat ke taqazay kabhi badlay nahin jaatay 

Kushboo hai agar woh to bikharna hi paray ga 

Parti hai tp par jaye shikan us ki jabeen par 

Sachai ka izhaar to karna hi paray ga 

Her shakhs ko ayein gay nazar rang sehar ke 

Khrasheed ki kirno ko bikharna hi paray ga 

Main soch raha hoon yeh sar shaher-e-nigaaran 

Yeh us ki gali hai to tehrna hi paray ga

Ab shaana-e-tadbeer hai hathon main hamaray 

Halaat ki zulfon ko sanwarna hi paray ga 

Ik umar se be,noor hai yeh mehfil-e-hasti 

"Ejaaz" koi rang to bharna hi paray ga 

 

Chragh samnay wale makaan main bhi na tha

Chragh samnay wale makaan main bhi na tha 

Yeh saneha meray weham-o-gumaan main bhi na tha 

Jo pehlay roz se do aangano main tha hayal 

Woh fasala to zameen-o-asmaan main bhi na tha 

Yeh gham nahin hai keh hum dono aik ho na sake

Yeh ranj hai keh koi darmiyaan main bhi na tha 

Hawa na janay kahan le gayi  woh teer keh jo 

Nishanay par bhi na tha aur kamaan main bhi na tha 

"Jamaal" pehli shanasai ka woh ik lamha 

Ussay bhi yaad na tha meray dehaan main bhi na tha

Door se aye thay saaqi sun ke may'khanay ko hum

Door se aye thay saaqi sun ke may'khanay ko hum 

Bas tarastay hi chalay afsoos paimaanay ko hum 

May bhi hai meena bhi hai sagar bhi hai saaqi nahin 

Dil main ata hai laga dain aag may'khanay ko hum 

Hum ko phansana tha qafas  main kiya gila siyaad se 

Bas tarastay hi rahay hain aab aur daanay ko hum 

Taaq-e-abroo main sanam ke , kiya khudai reh gayi 

Ab to poojain gay isi kaafar kay shaikhanay ko hum 

Baagh main lagta nahin sehra se ghabrata hai dil 

Ab kahan le jaa ke baithain aisay dewanay ko hum 

Kiya hui taqseer hum se to bata de Ae "Nazir"

Ta keh shaad-e-marg samjhain aisay mar jaane ko hum

Jahan tera naqsh-e-qadam dekhtay hain

Jahan tera naqsh-e-qadam dekhtay hain 

Khiyabaan khiyabaan arm dekhtay hain 

Dil aashafta  gaan khaal-e-kanj-e-dehan ke 

Saweeda main sair-e-adm dekhtay hain 

Teray saroo-e-qamat se ik qad-e-adam

Qayamat ke fitnay ko kam dekhtay hain 

Tamasha kar Ae mehv-e-aaina daari

Tujhe kis tamana se hum dekhtay hain 

Suraag-e-tuf-e-naal-e-daagh-e-dil se 

Keh shab ru ka naqsh-e-qadam dekhtay hain 

Bana kar faqeeron ka hum bhais ghalib 

Tamashaye Ehl-e-karam dekhtay hain
