tum ko hum dil mein basa lenge tum aao to sahi

tum ko hum dil mein basa lenge tum aao to sahi
saarii duniya se chupa lenge tum aao to sahi 

ek vaadaa karo ab ham se na bhichdoge kabhi 
naaz ham saare uthaa lenge tum aao to sahi

bewafa bhii ho sitamagar bhii jafaa_peshaa bhii 
hum Khudaa tum ko banaa lenge tum aao to sahi 

yuun to jis simt nazar uthatii hai tariki hai 
pyaar ke deep jalaa lenge tum aao to sahi 

ikhtalafaat bhii mit jaayenge rafaa rafta 
jis tarah hogaa nibha lenge tum aao to sahi 

dil kii viiraanii se ghabaraake na munh ko modo 
bazm ye phir se sajaa lenge tum aao to sahi

raah taariik hai aur dur hai manzil lekin 
dard kii shamaen jala lenge tum aao to sahi

ye zindagii to koi bad-dua lage hai mujhe

har ek ruuh mein ek Gam chhupa lage hai mujhe
ye zindagii to koi bad-dua lage hai mujhe

jo aansuu mein kabhee raat bheeg jati hai
bahut qariib vo aavaaz-e-paa lage hai mujhe

main so bhee jaaun to merii band aankhon mein
tamaam raat koi jhankata lage hai mujhe

main jab bhee us ke Khayaalon mein kho saa jaataa huun
vo khud bhee baat kare to buraa lage hai mujhe 

main sochataa thaa ki lautungaa ajanabii kii tarah
ye meraa gaaon to pahachaanaa saa lage hai mujhe

bikhar gayaa hai kuchh is tarah aadamii kaa vajuud
har ek fard koi saanehaa lage hai mujhe

zara si baat pe har rasm tod aayaa tha

zara si baat pe har rasm tod aayaa tha 
dil-e-tabaah ney bhee kyaa mizaaj paayaa thaa 


muaaf kar naa sakii meri zindagi mujh ko 
vo ek lamhaa ki main tujh se tang aayaa thaa 


shaguftaa phuul simat kar kali bane jaise 
kuchh is tarah se tune badan churaayaa thaa 

guzar gayaa hai koi lamhaa-e-sharar kii tarah 
abhii to main use pahachaan bhee na paayaa thaa 

pataa nahin ki mere baad un pe kyaa guzari 
main chand Khwaab zamaane mein chhod aaya tha

aadaten bhee ajeeb hoti hain

saans lenaa bhee kaisi aadat hai
jiiye jaanaa bhee kya ravaayat hai

koi aahat nahin badan mein kahin
koi sayaa nahin hai aankhon mein

paanv behis hain, chalate jaate hain
ik safar hai jo bahataa rahataa hai

kitane barason sey, kitanii sadiyon sey
jiye jaate hain, jiye jaate hain

 

aadaten bhee ajeeb hoti hain

ab naa mangenge zindagi yaa rab

aadatan tum ne kar diye vaade
aadatan ham ne aitabaar kiya

teri raahon mein baarahaa ruk kar
ham ney apana hee intazaar kiya

ab naa mangenge zindagi yaa rab
ye gunaah ham ne ek baar kiyaa

dil mein mahak rahen hain kisi arazu ke phool

dil mein mahak rahen hain kisi arazu ke phool
palakon mein khilane vaale hain shaayad lahu ke phool

ab tak hai koi baat mujhe yaad harf harf
ab tak main chun rahaa hun kisi guftaguu ke phool

[harf-harf=each and every letter (of the alphabet)]
[guftaguu=conversation]

kaliyaan chatak rahi thee ki awaz thee koi
ab tak sama'aton mein hai ik Khush-guluu ke phool

[sama'ato.n=hearing; Khush-guluu=one with sweet voice]

mere lahuu kaa rang hai har nok-e-Khaar par
seharaa mein har taraf hai merii justajuu ke phool

[nok-e-Khaar=tip of the thorn; seharaa=desert/wilderness]

deewane kal jo log the phoolon ke ishq mein
ab un ke daamanon mein bhare hain rafu ke phool

Mean doondhta hun

main dhundhataa hun jise vo jahan nahin milata 
naii zameen nayaa aasaman nahin milata 

naii zameen nayaa aasaman bhii mil jaaye 
naye bashar kaa kahin kuchh nishaan nahin milata 

vo teg mil gai jis se huaa hai qatl meraa 
kisii ke haath kaa us par nishan nahin milata 

vo meraa gaanv hai vo mere gaanv ke chuulhe 
ki jin mein shole to shole dhuaan nahin milata

jo ik Khudaa nahin milataa to itanaa maatam kyun
yahan to koi mera hamazabaan nahin milata 

khada hun kab se main cheharon ke ek jangal mein 
tumhaare chehare kaa kuchh bhii yahan nahin milata
