Barsat Ke Aate Hi Tauba Na Rahi Baaki;
Badal Jo Nazar Aaye Badli Meri Niyat Bhi!
Meri Aankhen Aur Deedar Aap Ka;
Ya Qayamat Aa Gayi Ya Khwab Hai!
Dhoop Ne Guzarish Ki;
Ek Boond Barish Ki!
Duniya Mizaz-Dan-o-Mizaz-Ashna Na Thi,
Duniya Ke Paas Zehar Bahut Tha Dawa Na Thi;
Roshan Tha Dil Mein Sirf Kisi Yaad Ka Charagh,
Ghar Mein Koi Bhi Roshni Us Ke Siwa Na Thi!
Khamoshi Se Musibat Aur Bhi Sangeen Hoti Hai;
Tadap Ai Dil Tadapne Se Zara Taskeen Hoti Hai!
*Taskeen: Satisfaction, Comfort
Kuch Aansu Ro Lene Ke Baad Nazar-e-Khwab Ho Gaya,
Main Tum Ko Yaad Karte Karte Gehri Neend So Geya;
Ragen Lakiren Ho Gayi Masam Nuqte Ban Gaye,
Badan Tumhari Yaad Mein Huruf-e-Nazm Ho Geya!
Apni Marzi Se Kahan Apne Safar Ke Hum Hain;
Rukh Hawaon Ka Jidhar Ka Hai Udhar Ke Hum Hain!
Jo Nigah-e-Naaz Ka Bismil Nahi;
Dil Nahi Wo Dil Nahi Wo Dil Nahi!
*Bismil: Wounded
Yun Meri Ummeedon Ke Mahal Ho Gaye Mismar,
Jis Tarah Koi Ret Ki Deewar Na Thahre;
Pahuncha Naye Halat Ke Dhare Pe Safina,
Mumkin Hai Mere Haath Mein Patvar Na Thahre!
*Mismar: Ruined
*Safina: Boat
Aaj Pi Lene De Saaqi Mujhe Jee Lene De;
Kal Meri Raat Khuda Jaane Kahan Guzregi!
