Bepanah

Chal ek khoobsurat gunah kar lein
Do pal ka hi sahi, ishq bepanah kar lein..

Mita karke har darr, har ek gila
Hum khud ko tera aur tujhko apna kar lein..

Khwaab

Ik khwaab jo humne dekha tha,
Us khwaab se ta'alluq toot gaya..
Kar ahd-e-muqammal nikle the,
Wo safar adhar mein chhoot gaya.

Jaagi ya aankhein soyi ho,
Har haal usi ko dekha tha..
Wo nabeena humko karke,
Ta-umr ko dekho rooth Gaya.

Ik marz sareeka samjhe hum,
Bhi ki koshish chhutkare ki..
Jiski marham na ho paaye,
Wo dard sukoon ko loot Gaya.

Kisi roz jo aankhein band hongi,
Us khwaab ko dhoondenge phir se..
Jo chashmein phir na khul paayein,
Maano roshan shams doob Gaya.

Wo aur kya tha..

Wo dekh ke mujhko chhup jana,
Aur chhup kar dekh ke sharmana,
Wo ishq nahi toh aur kya tha!

Sakhiyon se apni batlana,
Aur batla kar phir itrana,
Wo ishq nahi toh aur kya tha!


Un surkh gulabi hontho'n se,
Halke halke se fuslana,
Phir zikr humara kar karke,
Wo maddham maddham muskana..

          Un shokh-nashili nazro'n se,
          Mujhko yu'n ghaafil kar jana,
          Aur phir mayassar karke yun,
          Kahi'n door nazar se ho jana..

          Wo ishq nahi toh aur kya tha!

Un kaali lambi zulfo'n se,
Khushrang fiza ko kar dena,
Mulzim thehra ke mujhko phir,
Ilzam wo mere sir dena..

          Wo husn tilasmi dikhla kar,
          Mujhko yu'n bebas kar jana,
          Phir aur deedaar na de karke,
          Halke halke se tadpaana..

          Wo ishq nahi toh aur kya tha!
