Safar E manzil E shab yaad nahiN
Log rukhsat hue kab yaad nahiN
Dil meN har waqt chubhan rahti thi
Thi mujhe kis ki talab yaad nahiN
Wo sitaara thi K shabnam thi K phul
Ek soorat thi ajab yaad nahiN
Aisa uljha huN gam E duniya meN
Ek bhi khaab E tarab yaad nahiN
Bhoolte jaate haiN maazi ke dayaar
Yaad aayeN bhi to sab yaad nahiN
Ye haqeeqat hai K ahbaab ko hum
Yaad hi kab thhay jo ab yaad nahiN
Yaad hai sair E charaaGhaaN ‘Nasir’
Dil ke bujhne ka sabab yaad nahiN
Tujhe hai Mashq E Sitam ka Malaal waise hi
Humaari Jaan hai, JaaN par wabaal waise hi
Chala Tha Zikr Zmaane ki Bewafaayi ka
So aa gaya hai tumhara Khayal waise hi
Hum aa gaye haiN Tah E Daam to Nasib apna
Wagarna usne to phenka tha Jaal waise hi
MaiN rokna hi nahin chahta tha Waar uska
Giri nahin Mere Haathon se Dhaal waise hi
Zamaana humse bhala Dushmani to kya rakhta
So kar gaya hai humaiN Paayemaal waise hi
Mujhe bhi ShouQ na tha DaastaaN sunane ka
‘Faraz’ usne bhi poocha tha Haal waise hi
Dekhaa hua sa kuchh hai to sochaa hua sa kuchh
Har waqt mere saath hai uljhaa hua sa kuchh
Hotaa hai yuuN bhii raastaa khultaa nahiN kahiN
Jangal sa phail jaataa hai khoyaa hua sa kuchh
Saahil kii geelii ret pe bachchoN ke khel saa
Har lamhaa mujh meN bantaa bikhartaa hua sa kuchh
Fursat ne aaj ghar ko sajaayaa kuchh is tarah
Har shay se muskuraataa hai rotaa hua sa kuchh
DhuNdhlii sii ek yaad, kisii qabr kaa diyaa
Aur mere aas paas chamkataa hua sa kuchh
Hum to yuN khush the k ek taar grebaan meN hai
Kya khabar thi k bahaar iske bhi armaan meN hai
Ek zarb aur bhi ae zindagi e teeshaa ba dast
SaaNs lene ki sakat, ab bhi meri jaan meN hai
Main tujhe kho ke bhi zinda huN ye dekha tu ne
Kis Qadar hausla haare hue insaan meN hai
Faasle Qurb k sho’loN ko hawaa dete haiN
MaiN tere shahr se door aur tu mere dhyaan meN hai
Sar E deewaar frozaaN hai abhi ek chiraaGh
Ae naseem E sehari, kuchh tere imkaan meN hai
Dil dhaRakne ki sadaa aati hai hai gaaahe gaahe
Jaise ab bhi teri aawaaz mere kaan meN hai
Hum haiN mataa-E-koochaa-E-baazaar ki tarah
UThtii hai har nigaah khareedaar ki tarah
Is koo-E-tishnagi maiN buhat hai k aik jaam
Haath aa gaya hai daulat-E-bedaar ki tarah
Wo to kahiN haiN aur magar dil k aas paas
Phirti hai koi shay nigah-E-yaar ki tarah
Seedhi hai raah-E-shauq pe yuN hi kabhi kabhi
Kham ho gayi hai gesoo-E-dildaar ki tarah
Ab ja k kuch khulaa hunar-E-naakhun-E-junuN
Zakhm-E-jigar hue lab-O-rukhsaar ki tarah
‘Majruh’ likh rahe haiN wo ahal-E-wafaa ka naam
Hum bhi khaRe hue haiN gunahagaar ki tarah
[ Majruh Sultanpuri ]
Apni dhun meN rahtaa huN
MaiN bhii tere jaisaa huN
O pichhlii rut ke saathii
Abke baras maiN tanhaa huN
Terii galii meN saaraa din
Dukh ke kankar chuntaa huN
Mujh se aaNkh milaaye kaun
MaiN teraa aaeenaa huN
Meraa diyaa jalaaye kaun
MaiN tera Khaalii kamraa huN
Tuu jiivan kii bharii galii
MaiN jangal ka rastaa huN
Apni lahr hai, apnaa rog
Dariyaa huN aur pyaasaa huN
Aatii rut mujhe royegii
Jaati rut ka jhoNkaa huN
