Introduction to Satori

Satori is a Japanese word that means ‘awakening,’ the Buddhist equivalent of the beginning of the path to enlightenment.

As the title of this book of poetry, it represents moments in the journey of human experience. A journey which, whether seen as meaningless or as filled with purpose, is nevertheless fascinating and tantalizingly invites us to explore its mysteries and contradictions.

At one level, the poems express universal emotions and the well-known themes of ghazals -pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain. However, these themes are sprinkled with philosophical musings, existential questions, cynical reflections, and some “aha!” and “oh-no!” perspectives.

Of course, the words acquire meaning based only on the reader’s interpretation… an interpretation which often comes as a surprise to the writer.

Most of the poems follow the ghazal form, with rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter. However, some are written in free verse. The dominant language is Urdu but is often ed and enriched with Hindi.

Hello!

Thank you for ing this book, which is very close to my heart.

My ion for Urdu poetry began when I was 10 years old and heard Jagjit and Chitra Singh for the first time. This ion grew over the years as I started listening to Mehdi Hassan and Farida Khanum. Before I tell you how that beginning led to this book, let me give you a quick biography.

After completing my Masters in English Literature, I started my career in the area of writing, editing, and communications training. Working with one of the biggest management consulting firms in the world gave me an opportunity to move into the sphere of people development and helping others realise their potential.

I continued to write both as part of my job and as a hobby. While the prose in English was for everyone’s consumption, the poetry in Urdu remained a wellguarded private pleasure.

However, the small pieces of writing were not enough and I was bitten by the bug of becoming a writer. My growing interest in psychology and spirituality, and experience of working closely with some of the most successful people on the challenges they faced was egging me on to write a book on self-awareness and human behaviour. Last year, I decided to put to test my commitment and talent, and gave up my job to spend all my time writing. The book was born but I

am still stuck at chapter 3.

And that brings me back to that thread I left hanging in the first paragraph. During this eventful year, I shared some of my ghazals with a few people who are special to me and happened to mention that I had a collection of more than 80 of these now. You can guess the rest. “No, no, no,” said I. “Why not?” said my mom. “I can’t” I protested. “You must,” insisted my friends. Six months later, here we are... Satori, you, and I.

Just to round off the biography, professionally I am now a freelance leadership development specialist. When I am not working, you will find me in a coffee shop, reading a book or trying to complete chapter 3. I also enjoy listening to Sufi music, watching murder mysteries, splashing paints on canvas, travelling, and spending time with my family – my mother, brother, sister-in law, and two absolutely adorable nephews.

If you have been reading this, I will let you get on with the book. I do hope you will enjoy it.

With deep gratitude,

Hum ddhoonddhte phirte hain raasta khud ke mittaane ko

Hum ddhoonddhte phirte hain raasta khud ke mittaane ko Kab milti hai lekin shamma har ik parwaane ko

Kaun hai is duniya mein jise garaz nahin apni Karta hai wo raushni bhi to charaagh kehlaane ko

Beinteha taaqat maana sachchaayi mein lekin Jhootth bahot kaam aaya mere dil ke behlaane ko

Na sahi fareb us ki shokhi aur maskharaapan Baarha bheega barsaat mein wo aansu chhupaane ko

Kya khaak karoge mohabbat tum kisi aur shakhs se Ddarte ho jab apne hi wajood ke apnaane ko

Ranj ke chand qatre hain koyi sailaab nahin

Ranj ke chand qatre hain koyi sailaab nahin Abhi tumhaari mohabbat kaamyaab nahin

Zarf mein mere nahin paaoge tum kami Haan magar sabr bhi mera behisaab nahin

Kal shikaayat thi ke talab nahin dil mein Aaj masla ke unke ruqh par naqaab nahin

Kya haq hai ise mujhse sawaal karne ka Aayine ki gustaaqhiyon ka jawaab nahin

Jaane ab kis baat par hai qhafa woh hum se Kuchh dinon se salaam nahin aadaab nahin

Zamaane bhar ko kitna bhi bura keh lo Insaan magar yahaan koyi qharaab nahin

Hona hai aazaad gar is qaid-e-hayaat se Ddaalo in pyaalon mein zehar sharaab nahin

Asal suroor na-haasil mohabbat se aa raha tha

Asal suroor na-haasil mohabbat se aa raha tha Wo to rangeen paani tha jo saaqi pila raha tha

Har koyi kar raha tha taareef mauseeqi aur mehfil ki Sargam ka lekin har sur khud ko tanha pa raha tha

Nazrein hatt-ti hi nahin theen shabnam ki nazuk boond se Thaame tha jo boond wo pattha bhi na hil pa raha tha

Jab na mili wajah inkaar ki to kar liya iqraar Shaayad wo rishta nahin muhaida bana raha tha

Shafaq ko kahaan tha ehsaas ki sehar us hi se hai Yun bhi ek baadal ka tukda use sata raha tha

Har kisi ko chaahiye suboot apne hone ka Ungli mein chubhh kar khaar shaayad tavvajjo chaah raha tha

Pyaar ko anjaam de kar dhokha diya taqdeer ne

Pyaar ko anjaam de kar dhokha diya taqdeer ne Asal ishq woh tha jo kiya raanjha aur heer ne

Kitni baar apni nazaron mein giraaya mujhko Poochh kar beraham savaalaat mere zameer ne

Maut se kaho abhi kare kuchh der intezaar Mustaqbil hai raushan kaha tha ek faqeer ne

Boli kitna haseen ho gaya saara jahaan Chhue jaise hi paaon tumhaare is zanjeer ne

Ek hi lamhe mein mitta ddaali saari daastaan Tumhaare naam par khinchi hui ek lakeer ne

Phir loge naam mera phir kahenge sab qaafir tumhein

Phir loge naam mera phir kahenge sab qaafir tumhein Na jao aaj maikade mein ye qasam hai tumhein

Berukhi aur buzdili par bekaar hi shaq kiya Mujrim thi bebasi jisne kiya majboor tumhein

Har zarra mehka sa hai saara aalam hai madhosh Aaj phir ye pagli hawa chhu kar aayi hai tumhein

Qon ke kuchh nishaan tumhaare pade hain yahan Le jaao inhein ab jaana kahin aur hai tumhein

Khwaahishein meri haqeeqat ki mohtaaj nahin hain Aaj bhi apne ghar mein kayi baar dekha hai tumhein

Mere gunah ka kuchh ilzaam tumhaare sar bhi hai Kyun nahin roka jab maine maana tha rab tumhein

Pyaar ko junoon mein tum ne parastish bana diya

Pyaar ko junoon mein tum ne parastish bana diya Wo insaan hi achha tha kyun khuda bana diya

Mujjassamon ka naseeb hai toott kar bikhar jaana Khud apne hi rone ka kyun saamaan bana diya

Madad to hai khuloos se haath barha dene ka naam Wo sahaara bhi kya jise ehsaan bana diya

Roz ddhoonddhta hoon khud ko us meherbaan ki tasveer mein Ho kar duur usne mujhe masroof kitna bana diya

Ehtaraam na tha to kaise rehti zinda shafqat Rishta to raha par use khokhla bana diya

Rashk ki wajah ban gayi yeh ehsaas-e-kamtari Hasad ne meri dosti ko zillat bana diya

Multaalba karna ishq ka to shauq raha hai un ka Is shauq ne par kitnon ka tamaasha bana diya

Kyun rakh jaate ho rozaana ye kaagaz kalam paas mere

Kyun rakh jaate ho rozaana ye kaagaz kalam paas mere Keh jo diya ki kehne ko kuchh bhi nahin hai paas mere

Dhoonddhte ho kahaaniyaan to kitaabon mein mil jaayengi Bekaar lagaate ho andaaza kaun hai duur kaun paas mere

Hai koyi kaam mujh se to keh dene mein jhijhakte kyun ho Yun hi waqt guzaarne ko kab aaya hai koyi paas mere

Tanhaayi se nahin mujh ko andheron se haul aata hai Jab siyah raat mein nahin hota mera saaya paas mere

Kyun lagaate ho nazar is motiyon ke khazaane ko Waise hi rone ki wajah kam reh gayin hain paas mere

Saahil se ttakraati lehrein bhi kamaal kiye jaati hain

Saahil se ttakraati lehrein bhi kamaal kiye jaati hain Meri ummeedon ki tarah apni hi jaan diye jaati hain

Rehne deejiye zehmat aap alfaaz dhoonddhne ki Ye bheegi palkein har paighaam diye jaati hain

Ye hai sirf veham mera ya ke haqeeqat hai Sab ki nazrein mujh ko ilzaam diye jaati hain

Keh do in hawaaon se humein kuchh yaad nahin Kyun bila wajah aap ka naam liye jaati hain

Jaane kahaan gayi tehzeeb in deewaaron ki Charcha ye mera sar-e-aam kiye jaati hain

Saanson ne in dinon pareshaan kar rakha hai Aati hain jyon koyi ehsaan kiye jaati hain

Haathon ki lakeeron ki ab hum kya misaal dein Har ik morh par kuchh aur hairaan kiye jaati hain

Taqdeer ke faisalon ko samjha hai bhala kaun

Taqdeer ke faisalon ko samjha hai bhala kaun Zindagi ke maqsad ko samjha hai bhala kaun

Baadal barsaat bijli mein kashish bahot hai lekin Dhanuk ke saat rangon ko samjha hai bhala kaun

Jhuki palkon ke suroor ke sabhi hain aashiq Kya chhupaati hain palkein samjha hai bhala kaun

Dard ke shadeed ehsaas se hoga kaun na-waaqif Dard ki meetthi chubhan ko samjha hai bhala kaun

Aarzoo kuchh paane ki kab hai paheli koyi Kuchh pa lene ke khauf ko samjha hai bhala kaun

Duur hue jaate hain wo jo qareeb hi na thhe

Duur hue jaate hain wo jo qareeb hi na thhe Sookhte jaate hain aansu jo bahe hi na thhe

Kyun afsos karein us deewaar ki daraaron ka Jis ki aahdd mein kabhi hum tum baitthe hi na thhe

Ki thi koyi khwaahish to ab yaad nahin humein Bikhre pade hain kuchh khwaab jo dekhe hi na thhe

Kab hai ikhtiyaar kisi ko qon par apne Ttheher gaye beech raah mein jo utthe hi na thhe

Kaise roye bhala koyi mayyat par meri Unka marna kya jo kabhi jeeye hi na thhe

Utth chala ab har aetmaad lekin

Utth chala ab har aetmaad lekin Apni zaat par to yaqeen rehne do

Ye chaand ye sitaare sab tum le lo Bas paaon taley zameen rehne do

Ab chhalak hi gayi hain aankhein To bila lagaam ye aansu behne do

Bahot ho gayeen pariyon ki baatein Ye jhootte afsaane aaj rehne do

Meri bardaasht ka pyaala la-mehdood hai Jise jo kehna hai kehne do

Insaaf to haq hai is ki bheekh kyun maangun Mujhe tum mujrim hi rehne do

Na lagaao marham na do dava Kuchh aur der ye koft ye dard sehne do

Kuchh khaas yaadein waabastaah hain in se Mere zakhmon ko yun hi rehne do

Kuchh alfaaz zubaan par aate aate reh jaate hain

Kuchh alfaaz zubaan par aate aate reh jaate hain Bhar bhi jaayein zakhm agar, kuchh nishaan reh jaate hain

Ye hain yaadein dhundhlaayi si ke sirf khayaal mera Yehi soch kar kuchh aansu bin bahe reh jaate hain

Aisa nahin hai ke jawaab milta nahin koyi Lekin kuchh sawaal hamesha un-kahe reh jaate hain

Kabhi tanhaayi mein baitth kar suniye to gaur se Khaamosh andhere nazmein kayi keh jaate hain

Hum likh dete hain ghazlein kayi khwaabon ki ret par Phir lehron mein haqeeqat ki sab harf beh jaate hain

Kabhi umr qaid suna li kabhi maaf kar liya

Kabhi umr qaid suna li kabhi maaf kar liya Kitni baar khud ko katghare mein khada kar liya

Saada dili us ki maar ddaalegi ik din mujhe Umr bhar mera saath nibhane ka vaada kar liya

Main karta raha talaash is zindagi ka maqsad Aur us ne bas bebaak jeene ka faisla kar liya

Kuchh to kusoor mera bhi hoga yaqeen hai mujhe Varna log kyun kehte ke waqt ne insaaf kar liya

Ghar mein baitth kar baatein karne mein hai bahot sukoon Achha hua in deewaaron se raabta kar liya

Lo phir khol kar baitth gaya hoon yaadon ki kitaab

Lo phir khol kar baitth gaya hoon yaadon ki kitaab Phir karne chala hoon neki buraayi ka hisaab

Wo waaqeyaat wo lamhe wo saare ittefaaq Kuchh chhotti uljhanein kuchh gehre aazaab

Gar mile mauqa to ja kar maazi mein apne Kuchh pal dobaara jee loon dekh loon naye sapne

Lekin ye mumkin ho bhi jaaye toh kis chauraahe par jaaun Kis dehleez pe tthehroon kis morh se guzar jaaun

Har raasta meri hi khwaahish se bana tha Har maqaam har rang ko maine hi chuna tha

Aana to mujhe yahin tha kisi raaste bhi aata Aur kya farq paddta jo kahin aur bhi jaata

Par yeh bhi manzil nahin, ek aur chauraaha hai yahaan Phir se karna hai faisala ke jaana hai kahaan

Aage abhi dhundh si hai lekin kadam baddhana hai Khud hi raah banaani hai khud hi charaagh jalaana hai

Milte ho har subah har shaam ajnabi ki tarah kyun

Milte ho har subah har shaam ajnabi ki tarah kyun Chhupaate ho mohabbat ko kisi jurm ki tarah kyun

Karte hain savaal mere dar-o-deewaar bhi ab mujhse Apne hi ghar mein rehte ho tum mehmaan ki tarah kyun

Maaloom hai nahin rehta kuchh bhi duniya mein ik jaisa Phir badalte ehsaas chubhte hain kaanton ki tarah kyun

Karte hain yaqeen qhud par lekin ye kaam nahin aasaan Toott jaate hain iraade girti chattaan ki tarah kyun

Ba-zaahir bahot mazboot lagte hain dil ke jo rishte Dar haqeeqat hote hain kachche dhaagon ki tarah kyun

Aakhri boond bhi la pila de saaqi

Aakhri boond bhi la pila de saaqi Kya khabar kal ye bhi naseeb ho ke na ho

Aaj peete hain gham ko bhulaane ke liye Khuda jaane kal ye gham bhi ho ke na ho

Kehte hain zindagi hai faqat chaar pal ki Kya maaloom abhi kuchh baaqi ho ke na ho

Abhi mauqa hai ye lamha ji lene de Kya aitbaar phir kabhi fursat ho ke na ho

Dushvaar hai par apni si lagti hai ye shab Aur kya parvaah humein sehar ho ke na ho

Dekhe hain hum ne kuchh log is qadar maghroor

Dekhe hain hum ne kuchh log is qadar maghroor Jo apni galatiyon par bhi naaz karte hain

Bigadte hain yun ke utre hain falak se Har kisi sheh pe wo etaraaz karte hain

Sirf raaye nahin dete karte hain taqreer Jis ka apni taareef se aaghaaz karte hain

Kaun waqt zaaya kare un ko samjhaane mein Amooman khaali bartan aawaaz karte hain

Bas kuchh naam cheen logon se rakhte hain meil jolt Baaqi sab ko wo nazar andaaz karte hain

Na sarokaar unko kisi ke ehsaas se Na kisi ki ana ka lihaaz karte hain

Guftagu nahin karte qatl karte hain wo Kaam khanjaron ka unke alfaaz karte hain

Raushni in charaaghon ki madhham hui jaati hai

Raushni in charaaghon ki madhham hui jaati hai Chamak sitaaron ki bhi kuchh kam hui jaati hai

Wo hi hai gulistaan aur bahaarein bhi aayi hain Khushbu in gulon ki par kuchh kam hui jaati hai

Ya to bardaasht meri barhti jaati hai har lamha Ya phir ttees in zakhmon ki kuchh kam hui jaati hai

Yaadein to rafaaqaton ki phaili hain har taraf Haan wo khalish wo chubhan kuchh kam hui jaati hai

Kuchh to hai wajah ke tabiyat udaas nahin meri Shaayad meri mohabbat kuchh kam hui jaati hai

Aaj phir karvatein leti khaamosh siyaahi hai

Aaj phir karvatein leti khaamosh siyaahi hai Lo aaj phir kisi ne meri neend churaayi hai

Hum sab sog mana rahe thhe uske marne ka Woh bola jashn manaao ye to rihaayi hai

Nahin hai bardaasht tum ko ek shaam ki tanhaayi Hum ne tamaam umr intezaar mein bitaayi hai

Kyun karte ho tum mere rone par etaraaz Beetey lamhein yaad karne mein kya buraayi hai

Aql hum ko bhi kahaan aayi itne barson mein Baar baar us hi ummeed ki shama jalaayi hai

Yaqeen nahin hota ke humnava tha kabhi Wohi insaan jis ki aaj yaad bhi paraayi hai

Ranjishein aaj jaane kyun hone lagi thhin kam Is liye yaadon ki ye mehfil sajaayi hai

Hairaan hoon bahot dekh kar wo hausla jis se

Hairaan hoon bahot dekh kar wo hausla jis se Kiya itni sadiyon tak chup chaap guzar tum ne

Rakh kar paaon apne khwaabon ki kirchiyon par Hanste hue teh kar liya ye safar tum ne

Karte rahe parvaah zamaane bhar ki lekin Jise chaaha us hi ki na li khabar tum ne

Us ki kahi har baat ko laga liya dil se Khaamoshi ko us ki kab samjha magar tum ne

Dekh kar ye hansi mujhe jaane kyun lagta hai Seekh hi liya dard chhupaane ka hunar tum ne

Maut ko bhi lautt jaana pada dehleez se us ki Kab dekha hai duaaon mein ye asar tum ne

Shaayad kuchh mukhtalif hote taareekh ke panne Mudd kar na dekha hota peechhe agar tum ne

Hain khoobsoorat nazaare to hum kya karein

Hain khoobsoorat nazaare to hum kya karein Gar aayi hain bahaarein to hum kya karein

Kis ka ji nahin chaahta dekhne ko sapne Kambakht neend hi na aaye to hum kya karein

Maana ke ishq vishq sab bekaar ki baatein hain Jab dil zid par aa jaaye to hum kya karein

Us baat ko beete to ho gayi muddatein Na aaye yaqeen tum ko to hum kya karein

Jaayez sab ka shikwa khaamoshi se meri Par kehne ko na ho kuchh to hum kya karein

Aise bezaar bhi nahin hain zindagi se Padd gayi lat zehar ki to hum kya karein

Kal phir baat hui rab se mere andeshon ka ziqr bhi hua

Kal phir baat hui rab se mere andeshon ka ziqr bhi hua Kaha maine bas bhi karo aazmaayishein ab bahot hua

Pehle muskuraaya phir bola maine to tumhein banaaya hai Tumhaari duniya par kya bas mera wo to sab maaya hai

Ye saare haalaat sirf tumhaare zehen ka tassavvur hain Jab tum samjho aasaan hain, tum jab socho mushqil hain

Jo bhi paana chaahte ho maujood tum mein hi hai Jis cheez se bhaagte ho tumhaare andar bhi hai

Jo ho use pehchaano jo hai use qabool karo Jab thak jaao bhaag daud se khud mein mujhe mehsoos karo

Dariya ho tum behte raho tumhein bas behte jaana hai Aur is safar ke khatm hone par tumhein mujh hi mein samaana hai

Saari khwaahishein mitt gayin dil pur sukoon ho gaya

Saari khwaahishein mitt gayin dil pur sukoon ho gaya Chhod di justaju teri to jeena aasaan ho gaya

Thi rangeen kabhi ye mehfil aur kuchh bhi nahin hai aaj Sab saaz khaamosh ho gaye, har gosha veeraan ho gaya

Ab kis se milein koyi bhi to raha nahin apna Gaye to sirf tum tthey lekin har dost kahin kho gaya

Yun to hum ne zaahir nahin hone diya haal-e-dil Par kuchh badtameez ashkon se wo raaz bayaan ho gaya

Jis shakhs ne bhi dekh liya tujh ko be-imaan ho gaya Ibaadat ke liye mash-hoor tera makaan ho gaya

Mohabbat to har koyi karta hai

Mohabbat to har koyi karta hai Phir tum ne kaun sa kamaal kiya hai

Ishq hai ye koyi jung to nahin hai Kyun apna ye bura haal kiya hai

Jeena hai aur ke ab chala jaaye Dil ne aaj achha sawaal kiya hai

Ab na karenge rukh un galiyon ka Faisla ye hum ne har saal kiya hai

Guzaar di reyt ke ghar mein umr tamaam Kaam ye tum ne bemisaal kiya hai

Kho gaya saara sukoon sab dard-e-dil bhi jaata raha

Kho gaya saara sukoon sab dard-e-dil bhi jaata raha Tum jo gaye kuchh yun hua har ek ehsaas jaata raha

Hansna rona milna bichhaddna sune sune se lafz hain Matlab inka lekin zehan se arsa hua jaata raha

Socha tha ke karenge shikaayat tumhaari tum hi se Lekin itne barson mein sab shikwa gila jaata raha

Na ab wo jaadu baaton mein teri, na wo dard firaaq mein Wo aitbaar bhi jaata raha, intezaar bhi jaata raha

Baddi hifaazat se rakha tha dil mein chhupa kar jise Tumhari aagosh ka wo haseen ehsaas bhi jaata raha

Jaane se pehle maang rahi mujh se ijaazat hai ye

Jaane se pehle maang rahi mujh se ijaazat hai ye Dekhiye to meri jaan ki kaisi sharaafat hai ye

Har jazbe se bacha kar chalte hain wo aanchal apna Apni to samajh se pare un ki nazaakat hai ye

Poochhne haal mera khud chal kar aaya hai mera qaatil Jannat hai jahannum hai ya roz-e-qayaamat hai ye

Thhe kabhi hum gumnaam koyi nahin jaanta tha humein Shohrat ho ke rusvaayi aap hi ki inaayat hai ye

Keechad mein chalo par daaman par daagh na aane paaye Izzat ke pehredaaron ki ajeeb rivaayat hai ye

Dekhi jo aaj murh kar wo baatein puraani

Dekhi jo aaj murh kar wo baatein puraani Dilchasp lagne lagi khud apni kahaani

Ab samjhe jo taalluq hai dard aur qaraar mein Dono apne aap mein bevajood bemaani

Jab pehli baar saari raat bheege thhe ruqhsaar Tab ja kar hum ne qeemat hansi ki jaani

Jis din saamne aaya buraayi ka chehra Us din pehli dafa nek-dili pehchaani

Guzre hi nahin thhe hum jab tak toofan se Kaise bataate kaun si rut hai suhaani

Falsafa lagta hai par tajurba hai ye Suno ise jeeney waalon ki zubaani

Sehra mein saraab ka manzar dekha hota

Sehra mein saraab ka manzar dekha hota Gar khud ko meri nazar se dekha hota

Ban jaata wo zaalim bhi hamdil tumhaara Ek baar us ki bebasi ko dekha hota

Beete waaqeyaat ki uljhanein na hotin Gar aane waale palon ko dekha hota

Shaayad hum bhi ho jaate aashiq kisi par Gar na deewaanon ka ye hashar dekha hota

Kaise karta insaan baatein gunaahon ki Jo kabhi us ne khuda ko dekha hota

Kyun hota koyi itna khaufzada maut se Kareeb se jo zindagi ko dekha hota

Chhup kar baittha hai kahin nahin aankh milaata hai mujh se

Chhup kar baittha hai kahin nahin aankh milaata hai mujh se Himaaqaton par apni ye dil kuchh sharmsaaz sa hai mujh se

Tum hamesha karte rahe duniya bhar se dillagi Phir kyun dil ko hua bharam koyi khaas nisbat hai mujh se

Jo baat huyi hi nahin kar lena us ka galat tarjuma Is jahaan mein kahaan hoga ehmaq bada koyi mujh se

Bahot samjhaaya in ko lekin aankhein bhar hi aati hain Jab aata hai khayaal uska jo hai tum ko azeez mujh se

Yun to nahin sarokar mujhe tum kahaan ho kis haal mein ho Un se kya kahun jo tumhaari khabar poochhte hain mujh se

Nahin hai mujh ko parvaah dohraata hoon yehi baat din raat Fareb yun dena khud ko seekhe to zara koyi mujh se

Main sochoon kaise jiyega wo mere baad

Main sochoon kaise jiyega wo mere baad Aur us ki baaton mein mera zikar bhi nahin

Kyun jhukaaye sar kisi insaan ke aage Maana ho jisne khuda ka shukar bhi nahin

Nahin aitbaar mujhe waadon par tumhaare Aur ab umr bhar intezaar ka sabar bhi nahin

Na maujon se matlab na kishti se mujhe Aur aane waale toofaan ki fikar bhi nahin

Kaun tha jis ka ro ro kar sog manaate ho Yahaan to duur duur tak koyi qabar bhi nahin

Teri yaad ne kuchh yun deewaana bana rakha hai

Teri yaad ne kuchh yun deewaana bana rakha hai Paagal shama ne jyon parwaana bana rakha hai

Dekhiye ho chala hai wo mauseeqaar in dinon Dil ki har ik aah ka taraana bana rakha hai

Duniya ko chhorhiye wo aadat se hai majboor Ek zara si baat ka fasaana bana rakha hai

Mehfilein sajaane ka shauq kise hai yeh to bas Peene pilaane ka bahaana bana rakha hai

Sirf mera naam hi nahin aaya zubaan pe varna Humraaz us ne saara zamaana bana rakha hai

Khilkhilaati hansi ki aawaaz hai har taraf

Khilkhilaati hansi ki aawaaz hai har taraf Khushi ke dikhave ke andaaz hain har taraf

In haseen jumlon ke tilism mein kho na jaana Muskuraate honton mein bhi raaz hain har taraf

Naye naghme bhi hum sunaayenge kisi roz Abhi toh bajte puraane saaz hain har taraf

Titliyon ki cheekhein kis tarah sune koyi Fizaayein jab aisi dilnawaaz hain har taraf

Gairon ki baaton se kab ttootta dil kisi ka Talkh lafz to apnon ke hi goonjte hain har taraf

Jiyoge kaise gar na ho nisbat koyi

Jiyoge kaise gar na ho nisbat koyi Ulfat na sahi, rakho to wehshat koyi

Kyun khattakne lagta hai sab ki nazron mein Haasil kar le jo zara si shohrat koyi

Haalaat ki to aadat hai badalte rehna Badal kar zara dikhaaye fitrat koyi

Kis tarah pesh aayein bhala tehzeeb se hum Jab lagaaye hum par jhootthi tohmat koyi

Rafaaqaton se parheiz nahin hai hum ko Gar paas aane ki utthaaye zehmat koyi

Tumhein kabhi meri yaad aati to hogi

Tumhein kabhi meri yaad aati to hogi Saba mere geet gungunaati to hogi

Chaand sitaare bhi sawaal karte to honge Barsaat ki koyi boond sataati to hogi

Baaton mein mera bhi zikar aata to hoga Achaanak ik sirhan si daurh jaati to hogi

Dil kisi waqt shikaayat karta to hoga Khaamoshi kabhi tilmilaati to hogi

Armaan kisi pal aahein bharte to honge Taqdeer chupke se muskuraati to hogi

Socha apne dil se kuchh guftagu ki jaaye

Socha apne dil se kuchh guftagu ki jaaye Dard nahin na sahi yun hi thodi pee jaaye

Chhorh aaye thhey jo adhoori kahin tum aur hum Chalo wo bhooli daastaan mukkammal ki jaaye

Tthehre rahe jo arsey se aankhon mein meri Un sabhi sawaalon ko ab zubaan di jaaye

Kar diya faisala faaslon ka shaayad naseeb ne Par apni napaidaari bhi qabool ki jaaye

Wo ehsaas reh gaye jo dabey hue kahin Unhein ab dum torhne ki ijaazat di jaaye

Kar dein dafn gar lamhe jo hue na mayyassar Shaayad ghutan kuchh kam ho shaayad saans li jaaye

Har baat ko sahi galat ke taraazu mein na tolo

Har baat ko sahi galat ke taraazu mein na tolo Shaayad kabhi do galat raahon mein ek chun-na pade

Kabhi to usoolon ko chhod apne man ko tattolo Shaayad apni hi nazar mein gunahgaar ban-na pade

Kya sach hai kya hai jhootth kya hai achhaayi kya buraayi In mauzuon par naseehatein kartein hain log bade

Lekin in baaton se pare hai qaaynaat ki gehraayi Jaana ye tab hum ne jab kuchh talkh faisle karne pade

Ek tum hi nahin jo ulajh rahe ho in dhaagon mein Kuchh maqaam zindagi ke hote hain pecheeda bade

Is mod par zehen ko chhod suno kya keh rahi hai rooh Taaki barson baad bhi na koyi afsos karna pade

Har pal kehta hai jee lo mujhe

Har pal kehta hai jee lo mujhe Abhi hoon abhi beet jaaunga main

Na rok paaoge tum mujh ko Aur na lautt kar aa paaunga main

Maana ke hoon mukhtasar lekin Duniya badal sakta hoon main

Khwaab tum roz jo dekha karte ho Taabeer un ki ban sakta hoon main

Maano to hoon taqdeer tumhaari Nahin to mehez ittefaaq hoon main

Main hi har tajurba tumhaara Haadsa bhi main mojeza bhi main

Rangat kuchh badli si hai mere gaaon mein aaj

Rangat kuchh badli si hai mere gaaon mein aaj Hai ek naya noor sa bhi meri raahon mein aaj

Ho gaya ho aazaad panchhi pinjre se jaise Nahin koyi beiddiyaan mere paaon mein aaj

Pighal gayi barf jo jami thi dil ke aas paas Khalish nahin qaraar hai meri aahon mein aaj

Sadiyon se chal raha tha kadakti dhoop mein Aur achaanak aa gaya tthandi chhaaon mein aaj

Wajah is ehsaas ki mere paas nahin koyi Mumkin hai main hoon kisi ki duaaon mein aaj
