kaheen tot-ta taara aasman pe jo kabhi tum dekho

kaheen tot-ta taara aasman pe jo kabhi tum dekho
aankhon se meri rawani-e-daryea-e-ashk kabhi tum dekho

bakhshain hain jo tu ne zakham-e-ulfat mujhey
buntey houay naasor-e-jan sabhi tum dakho

ghum-e-hijraan ke dard ka aalam kiyun kar ho biyaan
kisi zakhmi taiyer ka tarpna kabhi tum dekho

waqt-e-kalaam munh se uskay phool jhartey hain
laboon ki janbish pe hotey raqs-e-tabussam kabhi tum dekho

silsilaa zaat-e-Qais ki dharkanon ka qaim hai kaise
palkoon ka uski girna aur uthna kabhi tum dekho

Gayi rutoon key kuch khawab sunbhal rakhna

Gayi rutoon key kuch khawab sunbhal rakhna
Sard shaamon key chand azaab sunbhal rakhna

Muhabbt may rawa rakhay hain tu ne sada asol-e-tijarat
Aye jaan-e-wafa sood-o-ziyan kay wo sub hisaab sunbhal rakhna

Teri chahat may ta-umr shair kehtay rehay
Ab ghazal ki wo mehakti kitab sunbhal rakhna

Tareeq-e-wafa kay sub asloob aik shab-e-vasl nay sikha diye
Ulfat kay wo sub nisaab sunbhal rakhna

Dastaan-e-safar jo usay suna suna kay roye hum Qais
Sisaktey hurfoon ki wo sisakti kitaab sunbhal rakhna

Fasloon ko manzil se shikwa kiyun hai

Fasloon ko manzil se shikwa kiyun hai
Tawaalt-e-safr ko musaafir se shikwa kiyun hai

Zameen bhi simmat jati gr tu do gaam chalta
Sehar-e-husn may kohney waley saahir se shikwa kiyun hai

Daagh chaand may jo dekha tu tanha tarapta choor ayea
Aye aashiq-e-baatin tujhey zaahir se shikwa kiyun hai

Dar-e-maqtal lagzish teray qadmoon ki tujhey ruswa kr gaye
Jab tehri rasm mar kay amr hona tu jaabir se shikwa kiyun hai

Uss nay jab dil-e-naashad ko thokar may udaa diya Qais
Iss aday-e-be-niyazi pe uss haseen saahir se shikwa kiyun hai

Kabhi gulaab wo kitaboon may rakhti thi

Kabhi gulaab wo kitaboon may rakhti thi
Kahtoon ke meray jawab kitaboon may rakhti thi

Zamaana shanaas thi wo bhaut
Har qadam phoonk kar rahoon may rakhti thi

Chehra shanaasi may kaml maharat hasil thi usay
Sadaa hi bhaut sawal nighaoon may rakhti thi

Usay aitmad tha bhaut apni taqdeer per
Roshan diye aksr toofani hawaoon may rakhti thi

Sagar ki bhiparti lehroon se usay ishq tha bhaut
Issi zoum may naam mera paaniyun pe likhti thi

Usay shayed baharon se adawat thi bhaut
Wafaoon ka naam zard patton pe likhti thi

Wo jo Milan rut may dagh-e-judai de gaye
Suna hai hijr ki shab wo aansoon se roti thi

Ab kay bars saawan ko sulagtey dekha hai

Ab kay bars saawan ko sulagtey dekha hai
Dasht ki sookhi piyaas may aab ko sulagtey dekha hai

Uss roz se ankh ne meri neend se dushmani kar dali
Jis shab se teri palkoon pe khawab ko jaltey dekha hai

Paani pe wo likhta raha dil-e-nashad ka fasaana
Hum ne tu kitab-e-ishq kay har baab ko jaltey dekha hai

Mansob har qissa jafaoon ka mujh se kr detay hain tere shehar kay log
Shayed kisi ne teri wafaoon ki kitab ko sulagtey dekha hai

Yaad key anokhey jugnu tawaaf krtey hain shajr-e-be-saya ka
Yaadon key uffaq pe mahtaab ko sulagtey dekha hai

Kali qaba mein lipta uska haseen wajood

Kali qaba mein lipta uska haseen wajood
Tarpa jaye khilti kaliyun ko bhi
Chaandni jo bhikarti hai teri galiyun may
Sharma jaye hai tera haseen mukh dekh kar
Per
Jaanan!
Dil-e-sharminda naadim hai teri wafaoon pay
Jo rang badl gayen mosam ki tarah
Ab
Aag barsati hai teri haseen muskaan
Shoulay ugalti hain teri haseen jheel si aankhain
Pathar barstay hain lafzon ki surat terey gulaab pankriyun se laboon se

Wafaa dhoondne walo Kabhi sehraa ki rait chahni hai

Wafaa dhoondne walo
Kabhi sehraa ki rait chahni hai
Kabhi sagar ki lehroon ko ginna hai
Kabhi aasman key taaron ko shumar kiyea hai
Nahi
Tu
Jaan lo wafa nahi milti
Zidagi se
Sanam ki zulfoon se
Wafa milti hai
Tu
Sirf aur sirf
Dhalti shaam se
Utartey samandar se
Gheri chahti taareki-e-shab se
Dil may sulagti aatish-e-ishq se
Aur
Wafe milti hai
Rah-e-adum pe
Tu
Aye mutalashi-e-wafa
Chal oorh lay matti ki chaader
Aur gum hoja amr hoti wafaoon may

Yaad ke unjaan jazeroon se
Kaisi ye sadaa arahi hai
Sadaa hai ya bazghast hai
Guzrey kisi toofan ki

Sadaa hai betay kisi gulaab lamhon ki
Kia hai ye kaisa hai mouamaa
Aye jane-e-jaanan
Lout aa us unjaan jazeeray se
Aur sadaaon ko apni mushoor awaz

Saahil pey aik musafir muntazir khada hai
Sadiyuon se
Kaie rat-jagon se
Lout aa kay uski piyaas bujhey
Teri deed se
Teray wajood ki mehak se
Teri aik nazr-e-qaatil se
Lout aa us yaad key unjaan jazeeron se
Lout aa

Ab kis baat ka hai dukh kis baat pe pachtawaa jaanan
Ab kay saawan may bin boondon ki baarishain barasti dekho

Aaghaz-e-safar-e-vasl may kabhi tanha choor gaye thay tum
Dar-o-baam pe meray ab qadmoon ki be-awaaz aahatain tarsti dekho

Yadoon kay jazeroon pe aksr toofan bapaa rehtay hain

Lafz bantey teer lub hotey kamaan mai dekhta raha

Saahil ki rait pe betha tasveer-e-jaanan bana raha tha
Toofan aye aur usay mit-ta mai dekhta raha

Raat key pichley pehar roz pukara karta tha tujhey
Sadaoon ko nakaam-o-namuraad lout-ta mai dekhta raha

Gham-e-hijr bukhsh kr jis pal lout gaye they
Sagar ke uss kinarey mouj ko hansta mai dekhta raha

Uss raat ke dard ka aalam kia btayen tum ko
Chandni ko chup chaand ko jalta mai dekhta raha

Ay jaan-e-Qais aa dekh kaise roshan hai teray naam ka diya
Khud ko khud me pal pal pighalta mai dekhta raha
