Ajam ke shahroN meN ek shahar  ka hai ye  qissa
Yeh raft O bood ka ek silsilaa jo qaayam hai
BhaNvar meN jis ke har ek cheez doob jaati hai
Suna hai us meN kisi qasbe ka rayees baRa
PhaNsa kuchh aisa, koi chaal kaargar na hui
Har ek tibbee madad, har dawa, ilaaj, gharaz
Woh sab jo qabza E insaan O mumkinat meN tha
Kiya, tamam maseeha qareeb O door jo the
Talab kiye gaye, sab ko zar E kaseer diya
Magar khuda ko jo manzoor tha woh ho ke raha
Ajal ne beTe se mahboob baap chheen liya
Khabar yeh phail gayi door paas pal bhar meN
Har ek rota tha zaar O qataar sun sun kar
Pisar ke bain ka dil par asar shadeed hua
Woh seena peet ke kahta tha baar baar, ‘Pidar!
Chale ho aisi jagah chhoR kar hameN sab ko
JahaaN na dost na hamdam na koi hai munis
Andheri kothri hogi, akele rahna hai
Na khana paani jahaaN hai na roushni ka guzar
WahaaN pe jaisi bhi guzregi khud hi sahna hai
Har ek chez ko tarsoge haaye haaye wahaaN
Koi madad ko na aayega aisi duniyaa hai!!’
Ghareeb bhi koi shamil tha us janaaze meN
Aur apne noor E nazar ko bhi saath laaya tha
Suni jo aah O buka us ne kuchh nahi samjha
Palat ke baap se poochha bahut hi saadgi se
‘Hamare ghar liye jaate haiN kya unheN baba?’

Teri Bargah Mein Ay Khuda, Junhi Sar Ko Maine Jukha Diya,
Usi Waqt Teri Khudayi Ne, Mujhe pastiyon Se Utha Diya,
Main Zaleel Tha Main Haqeer Tha, Tere Dar ka Aik Faqeer Tha,
Tu Ne Aik Hi Sajday Mein, Mujhe Kya Se Kya Bana Diya,
Rag-e-Jaan Se Bhi Tu Qareeb hai,Tu Hi Likhta Sab K Naseeb Hai,
Jisay Chaha Pal Mein Utha Diya, Jisay Chaha Pal Mein Gira Diya…..!!!!

Sitare Jo Damakte Hain Kisi Ki Chashm-e-Hairan Mein

Sitare Jo Damakte Hain
Kisi Ki Chashm-e-Hairan Mein

Mulaqaten Jo hoti Hain
Jamal-e-Abr-o-Baran Mein

Kya Mere Siwa Shehar Mein Masoom Hain Saare

Shayed Yeh Zarf Hai Jo Khamosh Hun Ab Tak
Warna To Tere Aeib Bhi Maloom Hain Saare

Kya Mere Siwa Shehar Mein Masoom Hain Saare

KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

khvab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai 
aisi tanhai ki mar jaane ko ji chahta hai 

ghar ki vahshat se larazta huun magar jaane kyuun 
shaam hoti hai to ghar jaane ko ji chahta hai 

koi ham-dam na rahA koi sahArA na rahA 

koi ham-dam na rahA koi sahArA na rahA 
ham kisi ke na rahe koi hamArA na rahA 

shaam tanhAi ki hai aaegi manzil kaise 
jo mujhe raah dikhA de vahi taarA na rahA

Chalo ab aisa karte hain sitaarey baant lete hain

Chalo ab aisa karte hain sitaarey baant lete hain.
Zarurat ke mutabiq hum saharey baant lete hain.

Mohabat karne walon ki tijaarat bhi anokhi hai,
Munaafa chhor detey hain khasaarey baant lete hain.

ik lafz-e-mohabbat ka adna ye fasana hai

simTe to dil-e-ashiq phaile to zamana hai

dil abhi tak javan hai pyare

dil abhi tak javan hai pyare 
kis musibat men jaan hai pyare

hai justuju ki khuub se hai khub-tar kahan 

hai justuju ki khuub se hai khub-tar kahan 
ab Thaharti hai dekhiye ja kar nazar kahan

Raz E ulfat chhupa ke dekh liya

Raz E ulfat chhupa ke dekh liya
Dil bahut kuchh jala ke dekh liya

Aur kya dekhne ko baaqi hai
Aap se dil lagaa ke dekh liya

Mat qatl karo awaz ko

tum apne aqidon ke neze
har dil men utare jaate ho

ham log mohabbat vaale hain
tum ḳhanjar kyuun lahrate ho

Ab kahan dhoondhne jaoge hamaare Qaatil

Ab kahan dhoondhne jaoge hamaare Qaatil
Aap to qatl ka ilzaam hami par rakh do

Hum Dekhenge, Hum Bhi Dekhenge

Laazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge
Wo din ki jis ka vaada hai
