ARZ KIYA HAI

Kuchh humne bhi jeene ka jaam chakha tha...
Kuchh humein bhi shayari ka shaukh chadha tha...

Do ghoont ishq ke aur nasha utar gaya,
Dhuain ke saath saath maza bhi udh gaya!

Ab hum marne ke liye jeete hain; aur jeene ke liye marte hain...
Zindagi se maut ki dua kiya karte hain

Bachpan mein bade hone ke liye beqarar the...
Budhape mein bachpan ki yaadein jiya karte hain!

KHUDAHAFIZ

Khamoshi ki goonj mein,
Qayanaat ki dhool mein,
Naam ek aur jud gaya...
Aag ka dhuan reh gaya.

Dard ka bayaan nahiin,
Chot hai nishaan nahiin,
Dawa-e-maut dil ko choo gaya...
Kafiron ko rooh de gaya.

Har qadam ki aahat se,
Sab dilon ki chaahat se,
Har taranh se door ho gaya...
Tu khuda ka noor ho gaya.

GILA

Milke bichhadna hi duniya ka dastoor hai.
Woh waada kiya kyon jo nibhaane se majboor hai?
Zareeya banoon main - teh dili khwahish;
Yeh chiraagh zamaanon se benoor hai...

Kafiriyat humein jaise virasat mein mil gayi,
Jism ki nas nas ke khoon ko mal gayi.
Palkon ka pehra utthayein kaise, Haya?
Har jaganh unhika paakeeza suroor hai...

Sare-aam apna haq qaraar doon,
Tareeqa yeh humein kabhi qabool hi na hua!
Tauba karoon ya sajde karoon main;
Dil mein khayal yeh jo ikhteyaar hua...

Ghalat fehmi ka shikaar yeh beemaar dil,
Na humaara raha, aapka toh kabhi na hua!
Apne hi aansoo pi pi ke zinda hai;
Gunaahe pyaar ka yeh kasoorwaar hua...
*************************************************

NASEEB-E-AKHIRIYAT

Hasrat-e-maut bhi chaukhat tak aake mud gayi;
Zyarat ho aapki yeh dil ne tamanna hi na ki...
Aur aaj jo barzakh bani hai yeh zamin,
Meri mayyat utthayein hain aap kaandhe pe!

Chalo, jaan yeh ghurbat mein barbaad hi sahi;
Pade toh qadam barkat ke ghareeb-khaane mein...
Maana iss din ko dekhne ko main zinda na rahi,
Farsh-e-aza toh bichhi hai mere darwaaze pe!!!
