Meri Tanhaiyan Karti Hain Jinhe Yaad Sada,
Unko Bhi Meri Zaroorat Ho Zaroori Toh Nahi!
Na Kar Dil Azaari Na Ruswa Kar Mujhe;
Jurm Bata, Saza Suna, Ya Phir Khatam Kar Mujhe!
Ek Ye Bhi Bharam Tuta Milne Ko Wo Na Aaya Humse,
Kya Guzri Dil Pe Kabhi Puchne Na Aaya Humse;
Pehle Bhi Yun Usne Tode Hain Kayi Vaade,
Humse Na Bura Mana Na Humko Malaal Aaya Unse!
Ek Ghazal Tere Liye Zaroor Likhunga,
Be-Hisaab Us Mein Tera Kasoor Likhunga;
Toot Gaye Bachpan Ke Tere Saare Khilaune,
Ab Logon Ke Dilon Se Khelna Tera Dastoor Likhunga!
Mile Toh Hazaaro Log The Zindagi Mein Yaaro;
Woh Sab Se Alag Tha Jo Qismat Mein Nahi Tha!
Jab Gila Shikwa Apno Se Hi Ho Toh Khamoshi Bhali,
Ab Har Baat Par Jung Ho Zaroori To Nahi!
Wafa Ki Zanzeer Se Dar Lagta Hai,
Kuch Apni Taqdeer Se Dar Lagta Hai,
Jo Mujhe Tujhse Juda Karti Hai,
Haath Ki Us Lakeer Se Dar Lagta Hai!
Hans Kar Qubool Kya Kar Li Sajayen Maine,
Zamane Ne Dastur Hi Bana Diya Har Ilzaam Mujh Par Madhne Ka!
Ajeeb Raat Thi Kal Tum Bhi Aa Ke Laut Gaye;
Jab Aa Gaye The Toh Pal Bhar Thehar Gaye Hote!
Ai Dost Hum Ne Tark-e-Mohabbat Ke Bawajud;
Mehsoos Ki Hai Teri Zaroorat Kabhi Kabhi!
