अलग बैठे थे फिर भी आँख साकी की पड़ी मुझ पर,
अगर है तिश्नगी कामिल तो पैमाने भी आयेंगे।
Sutoon-e-daar pe rakhte chalo sar ke charag,
Jahan talak ye sitam ki siyaah raat chale.
Sunte hain ki kaante se gul tak hain raah mein laakhon veerane,
Kahata hai magar ye ajm-e-junoon sahara se gulistan door nahin.
Dua deti hain raahein aaj tak mujh aabala-pa ko,
Mire kadamon ki gul-kari bayaban se chaman tak hai.
Majrooh likh rahe hain wo ahal-e-wafa ka naam,
Ham bhi khade hue hain gunhgaar ki tarah.
Majrooh Like Rahe
Fareb-e-saki-e-mahfil na poonchiye ‘Majrooh’,
Sharab ek hai badale hue hain paimane.
Sair-e-sahil kar chuke ae mauj-e-sahil sar na mar,
Tujh se kya bahalenge toofanon ke bahlaaye hue.
Taqdir ka sikwa bemani, jeena hi tujhe manjoor nahin,
Aap apna muqaddarban na sake, itna to koi majboor nahin.
Mili jab unse nazar, bas raha tha ik jahan,
Hati nigaahe to chaaro taraf the veerane.
Dast-e-poor-khoon ko kaf-e-dast-e-nigaran samjhe,
qatl-gah thi jise ham mahfil-e-yaran samjhe.
Shama bhi, ujaala bhi main hi apni mehafil ka,
Main hi apni manjil ka raahbar bhi, raahi bhi.
Bahane aur bhi hote jo zindagi ke liye,
Ham ek baar teri aarjoo bhi kho dete.
Ye aag aur nahin dil ki aag hai naadan,
Chiraag ho ke na ho, jal bujhenge parwaane.
Ab sochte hain layenge tujh sa kahan se ham,
Uthane ko uth to aaye teere aastan se ham.
Kya galat hai jo main deewana hua, sach kehana,
Mere mahboob ko tum ne bhi agar dekha hai.
Alag baithe the phir bhi aankh saki ki padi mujh par,
Agar hai tishnagi kamil to paimane bhi aayenge.
Pehale sau baar idhar aur udhar dekha hai,
Tab kahin dar ke tunhen ek baar dekha hai.
Pehale Sau
Shabe intezar ki kashmkash na poonch kaise sahar hui,
Kabhi ek charag jala liya, kabhi ek charag bujha diya.
Jawfa ke jikr par tum kyon sambhalkar baith gaye,
Tumhari baat nahin, baat hai zamaane ki.
Jala ke mashal-e-jana, hum junoone sifat chale,
Jo ghar ko aag lagaye hamare sath chale.
