Main Ik Chota Baccha

Umr Jalvon Mein Basar Ho

Umr jalvon mein basar ho yeh zaroori to nahin
Her shab-e-gham ki seher ho yeh zaroori to nahin

Chashm-e-saaqi se piyo ya lab-e-saagar se piyo
Bekhudi aathon peher ho yeh zaroori to nahin

Neend to dard ke bistar pe bhi aa sakti hai
Un ki aaghosh mein sar ho yeh zaroori to nahin

Shaikh karta to hai masjid mein Khuda ko sajday
Us ke sajdon mein asar ho yeh zaroori to nahin

Sab ki nazron mein ho saaqi yeh zaroori hai magar
Sab pe saaqi ki nazar ho yeh zaroori to nahin

Ghar Yaad Aata Hai Mujhe

Kisi Ki Rabba Maa.n Na Maray

Sher

Tujhe kia khabar teri yaad ne mujhe kaisay kaisay sata diya

Kabhi tanhaai main hansa diya kabhi mehfilon mein rula diya

Kabhi yoon hua teri yaad mein meri har namaaz qaza hui

Kabhi yoon hua teri yaad ne mujhe mere rabb se mila diya

Dhoondo Ge Agar Mulkon Mulkon

Teri Khushbu Ka

Teri khushbu ka pata karti hai

Mujh pe ehsaan hava karti hai

Shab ki tanhaai mein ab to aksar

Guftugu tujh se raha karti hai

Dil ko us raah pe chalna he nahin

Jo mujhe tujh se juda karti hai

Zindagi meri thi lekin ab to

Teray kehnay mein raha karti hai

Us ne dekha he nahin varna ye aankh

Dil ka ehvaal kaha karti hai

Shaam partay he kisi shakhs ki yaad

Koocha-e-jaa.n mein sada karti hai

Dukh hua karta hai kuch aur bayaa.n

Baat kuch aur hua karti hai

Abr barsay to inaayat us ki

Shaakh to sirf dua karti hai

Masla jab bhi utha chiraaghon ka

Faisla sirf hava karti hai

~Parveen Shakir

Jisay Aks Aks

Jisay aks aks ganva diya

Kabhi rubaru thi meray liye

Jisay naqsh naqsh mita diya

Kabhi chaar su thi meray liye

Jo had-e-hava se bhi door hai

Kabhi ku-ba-ku thi meray liye

Jo tapish hai mauj-e-saraab ki

Kabhi aabju thi meray liye

Jisay 'aap' likhta hoon khat mein ab

Kabhi sirf 'tu' thi meray liye

~Mohsin Naqvi

Achanak

Koi Chaaon Ho

Koi chaaon ho

Jisay chaaon kehnay mein

Dopeher ka gumaan na ho

Koi shaam ho

Jisay shaam kehnay mein shab ka koi nishaan na ho

Koi vasl ho

Jisay vasl kehnay mein hijr rut ka dhuaan na ho

Koi lafz ho

Jisay likhnay parhnay ki chaah mein

Kabhi aik lamha garaa.n na ho

Yeh kahaan hua hai keh hum tumhain

Kabhi apnay dil se pukaarnay ki sa'ii karain

Vohee.n aarzu be-amaa.n na rahay

Vohee.n mausam-e-gham-e-jaa.n na ho

Mohabbat Ka Sitara

Udaas Shaamain

11.11.11 - 8 years later...

Na ab vo yaadon ka charhta dariya, na furqaton ki udaas barkha

Yunhi zara si kasak hai dil mein, jo zakhm gehra tha bhar gaya vo

Dariya Ki Hava Tez

Chaand Ke Saath

Chaand ke saath meri baat na thi pehli si

Vo meray saath tha, per raat na thi pehli si

Aap ki yaad se hoti rahee.n her shab baatain

Roz miltay thay per yeh mulaqaat na thi pehli si

Yoo.n teri yaad mein nam rehnay lagi thee.n aankhain

Ashk barsay thay, vo barsaat na thi pehli si

Un se kehna unhain hum yaad bohot kartay hain

Dil ki dharkan ki koi baat nahin pehli si

Un se miltay he badalti gayee duniya meri

Vo tha pehla sa meri zaat na thi pehli si
