kahin chand rahon mein kho gaya kahin chandni bhi bhatak gai
main charagh wo bhi bujha hua meri raat kaise chamak gai
meri dastan ka uruj tha teri narm palkon ki chhanw mein
mere sath tha tujhe jagna teri aankh kaise jhapak gai
bhala hum mile bhi to kya mile wahi duriyan wahi fasle
na kabhi hamare qadam badhe na kabhi tumhaari jhijak gai
tere hath se mere hont tak wahi intizar ki pyas hai
mere nam ki jo sharab thi kahin raste mein chhalak gai
tujhe bhul jaane ki koshishen kabhi kaamyab na ho sakin
teri yaad shakh-e-gulab hai jo hawa chali to lachak gai

jo ab bhi na taklif farmaiyega
to bas hath malte hi rah jaiyega
nigahon se chhup kar kahan jaiyega
jahan jaiyega hamein paiyega
mera jab bura haal sun paiyega
khiraman khiraman chale aaiyega
mita kar hamein aap pachhtaiyega
kami koi mahsus farmaiyega
nahin khel naseh junun ki haqiqat
samajh lijiyega to samjhaiyega
hamein bhi ye ab dekhna hai ki hum par
kahan tak tawajjoh na farmaiyega
sitam ishq mein aap aasan na samjhen
tadap jaiyega jo tadpaiyega
ye dil hai ise dil hi bas rahne dije
karam kijiyega to pachhtaiyega
kahin chup rahi hai zaban-e-mohabbat
na farmaiyega to farmaiyega
bhulana hamara mubarak mubarak
magar shart ye hai na yaad aaiyega
hamein bhi na ab chain aaega jab tak
in aankhon mein aansu na bhar laiyega
tera jazba-e-shauq hai be-haqiqat
zara phir to irshad farmaiyega
hamin jab na honge to kya rang-e-mahfil
kise dekh kar aap sharmaiyega
ye mana ki de kar hamein ranj-e-furqat
mudawa-e-furqat na farmaiyega
mohabbat mohabbat hi rahti hai lekin
kahan tak tabiat ko behlaiyega
na hoga hamara hi aaghosh khali
kuchh apna bhi pahlu tahi paiyega
junun ki 'jigar' koi had bhi hai aakhir
kahan tak kisi par sitam dhaiyega

ishq ko be-naqab hona tha
aap apna jawab hona tha
mast-e-jam-e-sharab hona tha
be-khud-e-iztirab hona tha
teri aankhon ka kuchh qusur nahin
han mujhi ko kharab hona tha
aao mil jao muskura ke gale
ho chuka jo itab hona tha
kucha-e-ishq mein nikal aaya
jis ko khana-kharab hona tha
mast-e-jam-e-sharab khak hote
gharq-e-jam-e-sharab hona tha
dil ki jis par hain naqsh-e-ranga-rang
us ko sada kitab hona tha
hum ne nakaamiyon ko dhund liya
aakhirash kaamyab hona tha
hae wo lamha-e-sukun ki jise
mahshar-e-iztirab hona tha
nigah-e-yar khud tadap uthti
shart-e-awwal kharab hona tha
kyun na hota sitam bhi be-payan
karam-e-be-hisab hona tha
kyun nazar hairaton mein dub gai
mauj-e-sad-iztirab hona tha
ho chuka roz-e-awwalin hi 'jigar'
jis ko jitna kharab hona tha

chupke chupke raat din aansu bahana yaad hai
hum ko ab tak aashiqi ka wo zamana yaad hai
ba-hazaran iztirab o sad-hazaran ishtiyaq
tujh se wo pahle-pahal dil ka lagana yaad hai
bar bar uthna usi jaanib nigah-e-shauq ka
aur tera ghurfe se wo aankhen ladana yaad hai
tujh se kuchh milte hi wo bebak ho jaana mera
aur tera danton mein wo ungli dabana yaad hai
khinch lena wo mera parde ka kona dafatan
aur dupatte se tera wo munh chhupana yaad hai
jaan kar sona tujhe wo qasd-e-pa-bosi mera
aur tera thukra ke sar wo muskurana yaad hai
tujh ko jab tanha kabhi pana to az-rah-e-lihaz
haal-e-dil baaton hi baaton mein jatana yaad hai
jab siwa mere tumhaara koi diwana na tha
sach kaho kuchh tum ko bhi wo kar-khana yaad hai
ghair ki nazron se bach kar sab ki marzi ke khilaf
wo tera chori-chhupe raaton ko aana yaad hai
aa gaya gar wasl ki shab bhi kahin zikr-e-firaq
wo tera ro ro ke mujh ko bhi rulana yaad hai
dopahar ki dhup mein mere bulane ke liye
wo tera kothe pe nange panw aana yaad hai
aaj tak nazron mein hai wo sohbat-e-raaz-o-niyaz
apna jaana yaad hai tera bulana yaad hai
mithi mithi chhed kar baaten nirali pyar ki
zikr dushman ka wo baaton mein udana yaad hai
dekhna mujh ko jo bargashta to sau sau naz se
jab mana lena to phir khud ruth jaana yaad hai
chori chori hum se tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
muddaten guzrin par ab tak wo thikana yaad hai
shauq mein mehndi ke wo be-dast-o-pa hona tera
aur mera wo chhedna wo gudgudana yaad hai
bawajud-e-iddia-e-ittiqa 'hasrat' mujhe
aaj tak ahd-e-hawas ka wo fasana yaad hai
