Thand bahot hai ae paani muaaf kije,
Jism nahi aaj zehan ko saaf kije.
Ae subah uske aks se ru-ba-ru na kar,
mera kaam me jee nahi lagta din bhar.
Raat hai ankahi, Din abb tak khali,
Tere haatho ki ek cup chai adrak wali.
Maine kuchh kaha bhi nahi aur vo ruswa ho gayi.
Raat gujri bhi nahi aur subah ho gayi.
Ikk taraf teri hasi, ikk tarf aankhein,
Mein kis karwat sou koi itna bata de.
Roz subah ki tarah fir tera khayaal aaya,
Mein mann hi mann muskurata raha din bhar.
Uski inayaton* ka khud usko andaja nahi hai,
Dari dari si lagti hai jab bhi milti hai.
*kindness
Yeh mohabbat ki adaalat mere bass ki nahi,
Yeh keh ke mere munsif* ne bagawat karli.
*justice giver
Dil ki saafgoi ka koi kissa to nahi lekin,
Maa kehti hai neend me bachhon sa muskurata hu.
Guitar pe kureda aivain jo naam tera,
Har taar pe pyaar ka abb sur chadha hai.
Ae khuda meri khata muaaf karna,
Mera sajda pehle uska hai, tera baad me.
Teri khamoshiyon ko sun-ne ki koshish,
Hunar tere jazbaat mehsoos karne ka,
Tere isharon ko samajhne ki jaddojahaj,
Shouk tere pyaar ko tilism* karne ka.
Bass yahi ek salika hai,
Zindagi basar karne ka
talisman*
Surkh aankhein, geeli palkein,
Baithi aawaz, atakti saansein,
Aaina bhi ajeeb muh banata hai mujhe rota dekhkar.
