| Hum Musaafir Yun Hi Masroof-E-Safar Jaayen Ge, Be-Nishaan Ho Gaye Jab Shehar To Ghar Jaayen Ge; Kis Kadar Hoga Yahan Mehr-O-Wafa Ka Maatam, Hum Teri Yaad Se Jis Roz Utar Jaayen Ge; Jauhri Band Kiye Jaate Hain Bazaar-E-Sukhan, Hum Kise Bechne Almaas-O-Gauhar Jayen Ge; Nemat-E-Zeest Ka Yeh Karz Chukega Kaise, Laakh Ghabra Ke Yeh Kehte Hain Rahen Mar Jaayen Ge; Shayad Apna Bhi Koi Bait Hudi-Khvan Ban Kar, Saath Jaaye Ga Mere Yaar Jidhar Jaayen Ge; Faiz Aate Hain Rah-E-Ishq Main Jo Sakht Maqaam, Aane Walon Se Kaho Hum To Guzar Jaayen Ge! |
| Na Ho Yaa Rabb Aisi Tabiyat Kisi Kee, Ki Hans Hans Ke Dekhe Museebat Kisi Kee; Jafaa Un Se Mujh Se Wafa Kaise Chhute, Ye Sach Hai Nahi Chhutati Aadat Kisi Kee; Achhoota Jo Gham Ho To Is Mein Bhi Khush Hun, Nahi Mujh Ko Manzoor Shirkat Kisi Kee; Haseeno Kee Dono Adayein Hain Dil-Bar, Kisi Kee Haya To Shararat Kisi Kee; Mujhe Gum-Shuda Dil Ka Gham Hai To Ye Hai, Ke Is Mein Bhari Thi Mohabbat Kisi Kee; Bahut Roye Hum Yaad Mein Apne Dil Kee, Jahan Dekhi Nanhi Si Turbat Kisi Kee! |
| Mujhse Milne Ke Wo Mujhse Milne Ke Wo Karta Thaa Bahane Kitne, Ab Guzarega Mere Saath Zamaane Kitne; Main Gira Tha To Bahut Log Ruke The Lekin, Sochta Hun Mujhe Aaye The Uthane Kitne; Jis Tarah Maine Tujhe Apna Bana Rakha Hai, Sochte Honge Yahi Baat Na Jaane Kitne; Tum Naya Zakham Lagao Tumhein Is Se Kya Hai, Bharne Wale Hain Abhi Zakham Purane Kitne! |
| Jhonka Idhar Na Aaye Naseem-e-Bahaar Ka, Naazuk Bahut Hai Phool Charaag-e-Mazaar Ka; Phir Baithe-Baithe Vaad-e-Vasl Us Ne Kar Liya, Phir Uth Khada Hua Vahi Rog Intezaar Ka; Shaakhon Se Barg-e-Gul Nahi Jhadte Hain Baag Mein, Zevar Utaar Raha Hai Uroos-e-Bahaar Ka; Har Gul Se Laalazaar Mein Ye Puchta Hun Main, Tu Hi Pata Bata De Dil-e-Daagdaar Ka; Is Pyaar Se Fishaar Diya Gor-e-Tang Ne, Yaad Aa Geya Maza Mujhe Aagosh-e-Yaar Ka; Hilti Nahi Hawa Se Chaman Mein Ye Daaliyan, Munh Choomte Hain Phool Uroos-e-Bahaar Ka; Uthta Hai Naza Mein Vo Sarhane Se Ai 'Ameer', Mitta Hai Aasra Dil-e-Ummeedvaar Ka! |
| Koi Naata Na Mohabbat Ke Barabar Nikla, Toot Kar Chaha Jise Woh Sitamgar Nikla; Yun To Har Lehar Se Thi Apni Shanasayi Bahut, Samjha Sahil Jise Woh Gham Ka Samandar Nikla; Rooh Mein Jhaanka To Yeh Mehsoos Hua Mujh Ko, Itna Zarkhaiz Jo Lagta Tha Woh Banjar Nikla; Narmi Hathon Mein Na Garmi Saanson Mein Magar, Maine Chuu Kar Use Dekha To Woh Patthar Nikla! |
| Deedaar Ki Hawas Hai Na Shauq-E-Visaal Hai, Azaad Har Khayal Se Mast-E-Khayal Hai; Keh Do Yeh Kohkan Se Hi Marna Nahi Kamaal, Mar Mar Ke Hijr-E-Yaar Main Jeena Kamaal Hai; Fatva Diya Hai Mufti Abr-E-Bahaar Ne, Tauba Ka Khooon Baada-Kashon Ko Halaal Hai; Aankhen Bata Rahi Hain Jaage Ho Raat Ko, In Saaghron Mein Buu-E-Sharab-E-Visaal Hai; Barsaao Teer Mujh Pe Par Itna Jaan Lo, Pehlu Mein Dil Hai Dil Mein Tumhara Khayal Hai; Aankhen Lada Ke Un Se Hum Aafaat Mein Pad Gaye, Aankhon Ki Har Zubaan Pe Dil Ka Sawaal Hai; Bhutt Keh Diya Jo Maine To Ab Bolte Nahin, Itni Si Baat Ka Tumhe Itna Khayal Hai; Pucha Jo Unse Jaante Ho Tum Jaleel Ko, Bole Ke Haan Woh Shayer-E-Naazuk-Khayal Hai! |
| Khayaal-e-Yaar Mein Mujh Ko Yun Hi Madhosh Rehne Do, Na Pucho Raat Ka Qissa Mujhe Khamosh Rehne Do; Sunaya Vasl Ka Qissa To Mere Dost Yun Bole, Kahan Tum Kahan Us Kee Haseen Aghosh Rehne Do; Mujhe Maloom Hai Us Ne Mera Hona Nahin Lekin, Meri Umeed Mat Todo Mujhe Pur-Josh Rehne Do; Mohabbat Jurm Hai Mera Mujhe Iqraar Hai Iska, Wafaa Ilzaam Hai To Phir Mere Sar Dosh Rehne Do; Kitaab-e-Ishq Se Hum Par Yehi Raaz Khula Hai, Paaye Jo Jaam Ulfat Ka Usse Meh-Nosh Rehne Do! |
| Muddat Se Lapata Hai Khudaa Jaane Kya Hua, Phirta Tha Ek Shakhs Tumhein Puchta Huaa; Wo Zindgi Thi Aap The Ya Koi Khwab Tha, Jo Kuch Tha Ek Lamhe Ko Bas Samna Hua; Hum Ne Tere Bagair Bhi Jee Kar Dikha Diya, Ab Ye Sawal Kya Hai Ki Phir Dil Ka Kya Hua; So Bhi Wo Tu Na Dekh Saki Ai Hawa-e-Dahar, Seene Mein Ik Charag Rakha Tha Jala Hua; Duniya Ko Zid Numaish-e-Zakhm-e-Jigar Se Thi, Fariyad Maine Kee Na Zamana Khafa Hua; Har Anjuman Mein Dhyaan Usi Anjuman Ka Hai, Jagaa Ho Jaise Khwaab Koi Dekhta Hua; Ye Iztiraab-e-Shauq Hai 'Akhtar' Ki Gum-Rahi, Main Apne Kaafile Se Hun Koson Badha Hua! |
| Ab Woh Ghar Tak Viraana Tha Bas Viraana Zinda Tha, Sab Aankhen Damm Tod Chuki Thi Aur Main Tanha Zinda Tha; Saari Gali Sunsaan Padi Thi Baad-E-Fana Ke Pehre Mein, Hijr Ke Dalaan Aur Aangan Mein Bas Ik Saaya Zinda Tha; Woh Dopeher Apni Rukhsat Ki Aisa Waisa Dhoka Thi, Apne Andar Apni Laash Uthaaye Main Jhootha Zinda Tha; Thi Woh Ghar Raatein Bhi Kahani Vaade Aur Phir Din Ginna, Aana Tha Jaane Wale Ko Jaane Wala Zinda Tha; Dastak Dene Wale Bhi The Dastak Sunne Wale Bhi, Tha Abaad Mohalla Sara Har Darwaza Zinda Tha; Peele Patton Ko Seh-Pehr Ki Vehshat Pursa Deti Thi, Aangan Mein Ik Aundhe Ghade Par Bas Ik Kava Zinda Tha! |
| Zara Si Der Ko Aaye The Khwab Aankhon Mein, Phir Us Ke Baad Musalsal Azaab Aankhon Mein; Wo Jis Ke Naam Kee Nisbat Se Roshani Tha Wujood, Khattak Raha Hai Wohi Aaftaab Aankhon Mein; Jinhen Mata-E-Dil-O-Jaan Samajh Rahe The Hum, Wo Aaine Bhi Hue Behijab Aankhon Mein; Ajab Tarah Ka Hai Mausam Kee Khak Udti Hai, Wo Din Bhi The Ki Khile The Gulab Aankhon Mein; Mere Ghazal Teri Wahshaton Kee Khair, Ke Hai, Bahut Dinon Se Bahut Iztarab Aankhon Mein; Na Jane Kaisi Qayamat Ka Peshkhema Hai, Ye Uljhanein Teri Be-Intasaab Aankhon Mein! |
