Aaj yoonhi kuch khayal aaya

Aaj yoonhi kuch khayal aaya,

Mujhme' ek naya josh naa jaane' kahaan se' aaya.

Soch toh rahe' the’ ke ab bahut ho gaya,

Magar achaanak kuch aur haasil karne' ka woh junoon,

Ek-a-ek kahaan se' jaag gaya.

Umar aur ab tak ke' safar ki kya baat karoon?

Kya kya dekha,

Kya kya paaya,

Inn sab baton se' anjaan ho gaya.

Kehte' the’ mujhe' woh,

Ab bahut ho gaya,

Khwab se' dooor ho kar ab haqiqat ko jaano,

Magar mein toh apne' khwabon mein hi chalta gaya.

Raaz ki baat hai yeh,

Kisne' ise’ jaana hai?

Aage' taqdeer mein kya likha hai?

Yeh kisine' kab pehchana hai?

Magar phir bhi aaj kuch aisi masti cha gayi,

Ke' apne' khwabon ko haqiqat mein badalne' ke' junoon mein,

Main yoonhi chalta gaya.

Kabhi yoonhi muskurata hoon main

Kabhi yoonhi muskurata hoon main,
Kuch masti main aa jaata hoon main.

Khayalon ko kaabu karne' ki koshish mein,
Yoonhi maujon ki lehron main sama jaata hoon main.

Ek pal mein jaane' kitne' armaan aa jaate' hain,
Unn armaanon ko samajhte' samajhte',
Jaagte' hue' bhi khwab dekhta hoon main.

Haqiqat ka saamna toh roz kiya jaata hai,
Khwab bhi sote' hue' kai dekhte' hain.

Jaag kar khwab ko haqiqat mein badalne' ki junoon mein,
Zindagi ki har dard ko,
Masti bhara ahsaas bana hi deta hoon main  

Kisi na kisi ko

Kisi na kisi ko,

Kabhi na kabhi,

Kuch kehna chahta hoon.

Mausam kitna khubsoorat hai,

Hawa bhi hain masti mein,

Yeh sunana chahta hoon.

Kuch uljhan mein doob jaata hoon,

Unka jawab kya hoga?

Yeh samajhna chahta hoon.

Mann rok raha hai,

Dil magar manta nahi,

Isi kashmakash mein kho gaya hoon.

Ab mann ko kaboo kaise' karoon?

Dil se' guzarish kya karoon:?

Koi mujhe' bataa de',

Main ab intezaar kar raha hoon.

Jashn-e-diwali ka yeh mahaul

Jashn-e-diwali ka yeh mahaul,

Humare' dil-o-jaan ho gaye' kuch yoonhi kamaal.

Kya keh gaye' josh mein kuch yaad nahi,

Aaj ka sama hai kisi khaas jashn se' kum nahi.

Shikve' gile' toh hain badalte' mausam ki tarah,

Aaj unn badalte' mausam ko bhoola kar,

Hum mil gaye' saagar ki lehron ki tarah.

Yeh dil-e-nadaan bhi kya cheez hai,

 Kudrat ki tarah hamare' dil-o-dimag ka mahaul badalta rehta hai.

Tohfa kubool hai hamein aap sab ka,

Jo baant kar bhi kabhi kum naa ho,

Woh hai yeh pyaar aap sab ka    

Gum sum ho gaye' hain sab

Gum sum ho gaye' hain sab,

Yeh shaam bi hai kuch khamosh.

Aaj naa jaane' kya sama hai?

Bin piye' hi ho gaye' hain hum yoonhi madhosh.

Unki yaadon mein naa jaane' kaise' kho gaye'?

Naa jaane' unki yaadon mein kaise' doob gaye'?

Unn nadaniyon mein kuch aisi hi baat thi,

Jaise' chandni ki roshni mein kuch aisi hi raat thi,

Aaj bijli ki roshni tale’ hum unn andhiyaron ko yaad karte' hain,

Woh ab kahan honge'?

Yeh roshni se' sawaal karte' hain.

Apne' doston ki jeet mein

Apne' doston ki jeet mein,

Humne' khushiyan paayi hain,

Ek naye' josh ki aarzoo paayi hai.

Maidan-e-jung mein hum bhi the’,

Jeet ki umeed hum mein bhi thi.

Magar unki jeet mein baat hi kuch aur hai,

Khushi ka woh bahana kuch aur hi hai.

Dosti ka naya andaz shayad yahi hai,

Apni khwaishen doston mein poori hoti dekh,

Khush hona shaayad dosti ka naya andaz hai.

Tanhai mein baitha hoon

Tanhai mein baitha hoon,

Magar phir bhi akela nahi hoon.

Mere saamne' iss waqt koi nahi hai,

Magar phir bhi kisi ka saath hai.

Aaj khud se' hi guftagu kar raha hoon,

Kuch beete' hue' haseen lamhon ko yaad kar raha hoon.

Soch kar zara muskura raha hoon,

Khush ho raha hoon,

Aur hairaan bhi ho raha hoon.

Zindagi ke' iss anjaane' safar mein,

Hum auron se' kai umeedein lagayee' rehte' hain,

Shayad koi hamein kuch khushi dede',

Yeh aarzoo din raat lagaye' rehte' hain.

Kya ajeeb dastaan hai yeh zindagi bhi,

Khud hi hum khudi se' dooor ho jaate' hain.

Aaj khudi mein hi humne' ek naye' shaksiyat ko dhoond kar,

Zindagi ke' ek naye' andaaz ko dekh raha hoon.
