***Kya Hai***

har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke ?too kya hai? ?

tumheeN kaho ke yeh andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai ?

na shole meiN yeh karishma na barq meiN yeh ada

koee batao ki woh shoKH-e-tund_KHoo kya hai ?

yeh rashk hai ki wo hota hai ham_suKHan tumse

wagarna KHauf-e-bad_aamozi-e-adoo kya hai ?

chipak raha hai badan par lahoo se pairaahan

hamaaree jeb ko ab haajat-e-rafoo kya hai ?

jalaa hai jicm jahaaN dil bhee jal gaya hoga

kuredate ho jo ab raakh, justjoo kya hai ?

ragoN meiN dauDte firne ke ham naheeN qaayal

jab aaNkh hee se na Tapka to fir lahoo kya hai ?

woh cheez jiske liye hamko ho bahisht azeez

siwaay baada-e-gul_faam-e-mushkaboo kya hai ?

piyooN sharaab agar KHum bhee dekh looN do chaar

yeh sheesha-o-qadah-o-kooza-o-suboo kya hai ?

rahee na taaqat-e-guftaar, aur agar ho bhee

to kis ummeed pe kahiye ke aarzoo kya hai ?

bana hai shaah ka musaahib, fire hai itaraata

wagarna shehar meiN ?GHalib? kee aabroo kya hai ?

Aaina Kyu Na Doon

Aaina kyu na doon ke tamasha kahe jise

Aisa kaha se laau ke tujhasa kahe jise

Hasrat ne la rakha teri bazm-e-khayal me

Guldasta-e-nigaah suveda kahe jise

Phoonka hai kisne goshe mohabbat mein aye khuda

Afasuun-e-intazar tamanna kahe jise

Sar par hajum-e-dard-e-garibi se daliye

Wo ek musht-e-khak ke sahara kahe jise

Hai chashm-e-tar me hasarat-e-diidar se niha

Shauq-e-ina gusekhta dariya kahe jise

Darakar hai shiguftan-e-gul haye aish ko

Subh-e-bahar paba-e-miina kahe jise

“ghalib” bura na man jo vaiz bura kahe

Aisa bhii koii hai ke sab achchha kahe jise

Un Ke Ek Jan-Nisar Ham Bhi Hain

Un k ek jan-nisar ham bhi hain

hain jahan sau-hazar ham bhi hain

tum bhi bechain ham bhi hain bechain

tum bhi ho beqarar ham bhi hain

ai falaq kah to kya irada hai

aish k khvastagar ham bhi hain

shahar khali kiye dukan kaisi

ek hi vada-khvar ham bhi hain

sharm samajhe tere tagaful ko

vah! kya hoshiyar ham bhi hain

tum agar apni khu k ho mashuq

apne matlab k yar ham bhi hain

jis ne chaha phansa liya hamko

dil-baron k shikar ham bhi hain

kaun sa dil hai jis main dag nahin

ishq ki yadgar ham bhi hain

****Us Se Keh Dena****

Khade Hain Hijr ke Lamhaat Us Se Keh Dena

Bikhar Rahi Hai Meri Zaat Us Se Keh Dena

Hawa-e-Mausam- e-Gham Us ke Shehar Jaye To

Meri Dukhon Ki Koi Baat Us Se Keh Dena

Yeh WeHshatein Yeh Udaasi Yeh Rat Jago ke Azaab

Usi Ki Hai Yeh Inayaat Us Se Keh Dena

Bahut mushkil Bahut KatarNaak Hoti Hain

Judayion Ki Har Ik Raat Us Se Keh Dena

Wo Dil Ki Bazi Jahan Mujh Se Jeetna Chahe

Main Maan Loonga wahi Maat Us Se Keh Dena

Wafa Ki Raah Mein Main Aaj bhi Akela Hoon

Koi Nahi Hai Mere Saath Us Se Keh Dena

Alam-E-Madhoshi

hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin

mere naghmat ko andaz-e-nawa yaad nahin

main ne palkon se dar-e-yaar pe dastak di hai

main wo saahil huun jise koi sada yaad nahin

main ne jin ke liye rahon mein bichaya tha lahu

ham se kahte hain wahi ahd-e-wafa yaad nahin

kaise bhar aaein sar-e-sham kisi ki ankhen

kaise tharraye charaghon ki ziya yaad nahin

sirf dhundhlaii sitaron ki chamak dekhi hai

kab hua kaun hua kis se khafa yaad nahin

zindagi jabr-e-musalasal ki tarah katti hai

jane kis jurm ki paaii hai saza yaad nahin

ao ik sajda karen alam-e-madhoshi mein

kahte hain ke Saghar ko Khuda yaad nahin

***Aadmi***

har taraf har jagah beshumar aadmi

phir bhi tanhaiyon ka shikaar aadmi

subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua

apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi

har taraf bhaagte daudhte raaste

har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi

roz jeeta hua roz marta hua

har naye din naya intezar aadmi

zindagi ka mukkaddar safar dar safar

aakhri saans tak bekaraar aadmi

***Kuch Bhi Nahin***

Socha nahin achha bura, dekha suna kuch bhi nahin,

Maanga khuda say raat din, teray siva kuch bhi nahin !

Dekha tujhay, socha tujhay, chaha tujhay, pooja tujhay,

Meri khata meri wafa, teri khata kuch bhi nahin !

Maanga khuda say raat din.

Jis par hamari aankh nay moti bichayey raat bhar,

Bheja wahi kagaz usay, hamnay likha kuch bhi nahin !

Maanga khuda say raat din...

Ik shaam ki dahleez par, baithay rahey woh dher tak,

Aankhon say kee batain bahut, munh say kaha kuch bhi nahin !

Maanga khuda say raat din.

Socha nahin achha bura, dekha suna kuch bhi nahin,

Maanga khuda say raat din, teray siva kuch bhi nahin !

Bazm- e- yaraan

Waqt ki taiz rawi dekh ke dar jatey hain

Log jetey hain kuch is tarah ke mar jatey hain

Zindagaani teri azmat ko badhane wale

Muskuratey hue maqtal se guzar jatey hain

Bazm- e- yaraan ho ke dasht- e-shab- e-tanahai ho

Zakhm bharne pe jab atey hain to bhar jatey hain

Yeh shab- o- roz bhi auraq- e- pareshan ki tarah

Baarha waqt ki aandhi main bikhar jatey hain

Kitni yadoun se ulajhti hai meri tanhai

Kitne toofaan mere sar se guzar jatey hain

Door reh ker bhi kabhi shikwa- e- doori na raha

Aap hi aap hain jis samt jidhar jatey hain

Waqt nasaaz hai behtar hai ke ab lout chalain

Shaam hote hi parindey bhi to ghar jatey hain
