Yeh Kya Jane Maine Jana Hai, Jate Ho Khafa Hokar;
Main Tab Janu Mere⧬ Dil Se Chale Jao Juda Hokar;

Qayamat Tak Udegi Dil Se Uthakar Khak Aankhon Tak;
Ishi Raste Gaya Hai Hasaraton Ka Kafila Hokar;

Tumhin Ab Dard-E-Dil Ke Naam Se Ghabraye Jate Ho;
Tumhin To Dil Mein Shayad Aaye The Dard-E-Ashiyan Hokar;

Yoon Hi Hamdam Ghadi Bhar Ko Mila Karte To Bahatar Tha;
Ke Dono Waqt Jaise Roz Milate Hain Juda Hokar!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riste Hue Zakhm Kisko Dikhane Nikle;
Haath Me Namak Liye Malham Lagane Nikle;

Baroodi Surangon Se Uda Do Chuppi;
Ajnabi Kaise Tere Gam Se Begane Nikle;

Hum Se Bedari Ka Sabab Poochne Wale;
Aankhon Se Meri Neend Churane Nikale;

Sangshari Ka Ajab Shouq Wahan Ya Rabba;
Unke Har Nishane Pe Meri Sou Jaanen Nikle;

Meri Taqdeer Ke Sooraj Ko Jagane Wale;
Kam Se Kam Jugnoo Se To Behtar Nikale!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tune Ye Phul Jo Zulfon Mein Laga Rakha Hai;
Ik Diya Hai Jo Andheron Mein Jala Rakha Hai;

Jit Le Jaye Koi Mujhko Nasibon Vala;
Zindagi Ne Mujhe Da O Pe Laga Rakha Hai;

Jane Kab Aaye Koi Dil Mein Jhankane Vala;
Is Liye Main Ne Gireban Ko Khula Rakha Hai;

Imtehan Aur Meri Zabt Ka Tum Kya Loge;
Main Ne Dhadakan Ko Bhi Sine Mein Chupa Rakha Hai!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⧬Agar Talaash Karun Koi Mil Hii Jaayegaa;
Magar Tumhaarii Tarah Kaun Mujhe Chaahegaa;

Tumhen Zaruur Koi Chaahaton Se Dekhegaa;
Magar Vo Aankhen Hamaarii Kahaan Se Laayegaa;

Naa Jaane Kab Tere Dil Par Naii Sii Dastak Ho;
Makaan Khaalii Hua Hai To Koii Aayegaa;

Main Apani Raah ⧭Mein Diivaar Ban Ke Baithaa Hun;
Agar Vo Aayaa To Kis Raaste Se Aayegaa;

Tumhaare Saath Ye ⬈Mausam Farishton Jaisaa Hai;
Tumhaare Baad Ye Mausam Bahut Sataayegaa!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hoga Musafir Jo Jahan Me Aayega;
Safar Ka Jahan Muqaam Chor Jayega;

Iss Safar Me Hote Hain Sath Musafir Bahut;
Koi Kisi Ke Sath Naa Aaya Jayega;

Jayenge Yeh Doulat Yahan Chor Kar Saare;
Jism Ko Sirf Do Gazz Kafan Pehnaya Jayega;

Sajaya Nahi Jayega Phir Heere Motiyoun Se;
Zyada Se Zyada Haar-E-Gul Pehnaya Jayega;

Ek Hi Baat Hai Sachi Har Damm;
Ruhh Ka Sath Toh Rabb Hi Nibhayega!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⧭Wafa Ke Shish Mahal Mein Saja Liya Main Ne;
Wo Ek Dil Jise Pathar Bana Liya Main Ne;

Ye Soch Kar Ki Na Ho Tak Mein Khushi Koi;
Gamon Ki Ot Mein ⧭Khud Ko Chupa Liya Main Ne;

Kabhi Na Khatm Kiya Main Ne Roshani Ka Muhaz;
Agar Chirag Bujha, Dil Jala Liya Main Ne;

Kamal Ye Hai Ki Jo ⬈Dushman Pe Chalana Tha;
Wo Tir Apne Kaleje Pe Kha Liya Main Ne;

Qateel Jisaki Adavat Mein Ek Pyar Bhi Tha;
Us Aadmi Ko Gale Se Laga Liya Main Ne!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tere Ishq Ke Intaha Chahata Hun;
Meri Sadagi Dekh Kya Chahata Hun;

Sitam Ho Ki Ho Vada-E-Behijabi;
Koi Baat Sabr-Azama Chahata Hun;

Ye Jannat Mubarak Rahe Zahidon Ko;
Ki Main Aap Ka Samana Chahata Hun;

Koi Dam Ka Mehaman Hun Ae Ahal-E-Mahafil;
Chirag-E-Sahar Hun, Bujha Chahata Hun;

Bhari Bazm Mein Raz Ke Baat Kah Di;
Bada Be-Adab Hun, Saza Chahata Hun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y⧭e Tajaruba Bhi Karun Ye Bhi Kar Dikhalaun Main;
Ki Khud Ko Yaad Rakhun Us Ko Bhool Jaun Main;

Fareb-E-Kar Mein Kuch ⧭To Hai Koi Baat To Hai;
Ki Jan Bujh Ke Itane Fareb Khaun Main;

Wo Pal Kahan Hain Jo Duniya Se Jodata Tha Mujhe;
Jo Paun Tujh Ko To Sab Ke Qarib Aaun Main;

⧫Kabhi To Ho Mere Ehasas-E-Kamtari Mein Kami;
Kabhi To Ho Ki Use Khul Ke Aaun Main;

Wo Shakhs Hai Ki Nasim-E-Sahar Ka Jhonka Hai;
Bikhar Hi Jaun Jo Us Ko Gale Lagaun Main;

Azan Ke Bad Dua Ko Jo Hath Uthaye Wo;
Iman Apni Namazen Bhi Bhool Jaun Main!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apni Madhosh Nigahon Se Sawera Karna;
Issi Veeran Shabistan Mein Ujala Karna;

Tergi Rehti Hai Teri Shab-O-Roz Yahan;
Tum Kisi Roz Yahan Aake Basera Karna;

Woh To Phoolon Se Bhi Nazuk Hai Bahat Der Talak;
Jab Bhi Dekho To Nazar Uski Utara Karna;

Apni Zulfon Mein Chupalon Mujhko Udaas Hoon Main;
Roshni Chubhti Hai Ankhon Mein Adhera Karna;

Yoon To Har Din Teri Khushbu Se Jawan Rehta Hai;
Ankh Lag Jaye To Khwabon Mein Bhi Aya Karna;

⬉Woh Kisi Roz Idher Se Bhi Guzar Sakti Hai;
Tum Na Ik Pal Bhi Nazar Apni Hataya Karna;

Tumne Baadal Ki Tarha Dhoop Chhupani Hai Aziz;
Tum Har Ek Sham Use Chaand Dikhaya Karna!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⧭Jan-E-Sukun Aa Bhi Ja Tera Hi Intazar Hai;
Aankhon Se Ashk Hai Ravan Jan Bhi Beqarar Hai;

Hone Ko Fasl-E-Gul Bhi ⬈Hai Davat-E-Aish Hai Magar;
Apni Bahar Ka Mujhe Aj Bhi Intazar Hai;

Sare Sahare Ishq Ke Toot Chuke Hain Hijr Mein;
Ek Tumhari Yaad Bas Dard Ke Gam-Gusar Hai;

Ahad-E-Vafa Ka Aap Ke Lutf-O-Karam Ka Aap Ke;
Aur Kisi Ko Ho Na Ho Mujh Ko Aitabar Hai;

⧭Lut Gai Gham Ke Aabaru Lut Chuki Dil Ke Aarzoo;
Yahya Nigah-E-Lutf Ka Phir Bhi Ummidvar Hai! Yahya Jasdanwalla
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ye Dil Kabhi Na Muhabbat Mein Kamayab Hua;
Mujhe Kharab Kiya, Aap Bhi Kharab Hua;

Ajal Men, Zist Mein Turabat Men, Hashr Mein Zalim;
Tere Sitam Ke Liye ⬉Main Hi Intakhab Hua;

Nigah-E-Mast Ko Saqi Ke Kon De Ilzam;
Mera Nasib Ki Rusava Mera Shabab Hua;

Hamare Ishq Ke Das-Bis Ne Bhi Dad Na Di;
Kisi Ka Husn Zamane Mein Intakhab Hua;

Fana Ka Dawa Hazaron Ko Tha Zamane Mein;
Habab Ne Mujhe Dekha To Aab-Ab Hua!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeh Kis Khalish Ne Phir Is Dil Mein Aashiyana Kiya;
Phir Aj Kis Ne Sukhan Hum Se Gayebana Kiya;

⧬Gam-E-Jahan Ho, Rukh-E-Yar Ho Ke Dast-E-Udu;
Salook Jis Se Kiya Hum Ne Aashiqana Kiya;

The Khak-E-Rah Bhi Hum Log Qahar-E-Tufan Bhi;
Saha To Kya Na Saha Aur Kiya To Kya Na Kiya;

Khusha Ke Aj Har Ik Muddai Ke Lab Par Hai;
Wo Raz Jis Ne Hamen Rand-E-Zamana Kiya;

Woh Hilagar Jo Vafaju Bhi Hai Jafakhu Bhi;
Kiya Bhi Faiz To Kis But Se Dostana Kiya!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⧭Tu Bhi Kisi Ka Pyar Na Paye Khuda Kare;
Tujh Ko Tera Nasib Rulaye Khuda Kare;

Raton Mein Tujh Ko Neend Na Aaye Khuda Kare;
Tu Dar-Ba-Dar Ke Thokaren Khaye Khuda Kare;

Aaye Bahar Tere Gulistan Mein Bar Bar;
Tujh Par Kabhi Nikhar Na Aaye Khuda Kare;

⧬Tera Na Koi Sath Nibhaye Khuda Kare;

Manzil Kabhi Bhi Pyar Ke Tujh Ko Na Mil Sake;
Tu Bhi Dua Ko Hath Uthaye Khuda Kare;

Tujh Par Shab-E-Visal Ke Raten Haram Hon;
Shammen Jala Jala Ke Bujhaye Khuda Kare;

Ho Jayen Bad-Duayen 🔺Meri Dosto Galat;
Ab Un Pe Koi Harf Na Aaye Khuda Kare!
