chupke chupke raat ko tashrif jab lata hai chand
har taraf dharti pe kaisa nur barsata hai chand
pahle din ke chand ko sab log kahte hain hilal
chaudhwin tarikh ho to badr kahlata hai chand
pur-sukun mahaul tare kahkashan thandi hawa
raat ki mahfil mein aksar raqs farmata hai chand
jab ghata ghanghor aati hai kabhi barsat mein
odh kar sapnon ki chadar shab mein so jata hai chand
kahti hai bachche ko mera chand kahte pyar se
istiara pyar mein ek man ke ban jata hai chand
har ghadi betab hain mama ke darshan ke liye
chhote bachchon ke dilon ko khub bahlata hai chand
tum ko bhi bachpan mein ai 'abrar' kitna pyar tha
jis tarah 'danish' miyan ko aaj-kal bhata tha chand

jab mile the tum se pahli martaba
ye laga jaise ki sab kuchh pa liya
mil gai thi is jahan ki har khushi
badli badli ho gai thi zindagi
ek din phir hae aisa bhi hua
ho gae ek dusre se hum juda
milne ki bas aas baqi rah gai
ek tadapti pyas baqi rah gai
aaj bhi is dil ko mere hai yaqin
kya pata kis mod takrae kahin
is liye ummid rakh kar barqarar
karta hun har-pal tumhaara intizar

surmai pahadon par
ye hare bhare jangal
shakh shakh hariyali
chumte hue panchhi
chaar su fazaon mein
zindagi mahakti hai
phul muskuraate hain
rang-o-nur ki chadar
odh kar hawa nikli
aasman raushan hai
dur tak zamin apni
banh khole man jaisi
khelte parindon ko
pyar se bulati hai
titliyon ke jhurmut se
ek ek pagdandi
be-nazir lagti hai
jaise koi man beti
saf suthre aangan mein
chutkiyon se rangon ki
raushni lutati hun
surmai pahadon ke
mashriqi kinaron par
raushni chamakti hai
zindagi damakti hai
ye bahaar ka mausam
is zamin se ugta hai
is zamin ka hissa hai
jis kisi ka ji chahe
ye bahaar le jae
surmai pahadon ke
jangalon ki shadabi
shakh shakh hariyali
jis kisi ka ji chahe
apni ruh mahkae

har roz main ye karta hun dua
ai mere khuda ai mere khuda
nafrat ke andhere mit jaen
bas prem ujale muskaen
chhat jaen ghamon ke sab baadal
lahrae jo khushiyon ka aanchal
kuchh fikr na ho kuchh jhut na ho
duniya mein kahin par lut na ho
har shahr hamara gulshan ho
hansta hua har ek aangan ho
har ghar mein bachche dhum karen
taswir-e-khushi mein rang bharen
har aankh mein ho ulfat ki chamak
har jism mein ho ulfat ki mahak
duniya mein kahin par jang na ho
insan pe zamin ye tang na ho
bas amn ka suraj muskae
har samt ujala phailae

tamam-umr dil-e-khud-nigar ki nazr hui
adhure khwab hain daman mein tishna-lab baaten
gulu-girafta gale be-asar munajaten
jo ghut ke mar gain sine mein wo mulaqaten
jo karwaton mein katin wo gunah ki raaten
ba-shauq-e-qadr kahin jin ki qadr ho na saki
wo armughan-e-nawa wo sukhan ki saughaten
ba-nam-e-husn wo chitthi jo dar ki nazr hui
zamane ki nigah-e-kaj-nazar ki nazr hui
tamam-umr dil-e-pur-hazar ki nazr hui
ba-kar guzri hai jaane ki raegan guzri

inhi do se aabaad har ek ka ghar hai
kamana hai fan aur bachana hunar hai
ye baat aaj hi sochna hai zaruri
kise hai khabar aane wale dinon ki
bure waqt mein kaam aaenge aksar
rakhoge agar chaar paise bacha kar
bachat hi se mil-jul ke banti hai daulat
bachat hi se badhti hai mulkon ki taqat
ye faslen ye bazar ye kar-khane
bachat ne sanware hain bigde zamane
zara ja ke ghar dekh lo chiyuntiyon ka
wo danon ka karti hain kaise zakhira
yunhi qatra qatra samundar banega
yunhi lamha lamha muqaddar banega
bachat ki jo bachpan se daloge aadat
bade ho ke paoge duniya mein rahat
