Yar k ghum ko ajab nakash giri ati hai

Yar k ghum ko ajab nakash giri ati hai
Por por ankh ni manid phari ati hai
Bay taluq na hamain jan k hum jantain hain
Kitna kuch jaan k ye bay khabri ati hai
Is qadar gundna perti hai laho se mati
Hath ghul jatain hain to koza giri ati hai
Kitna rakhtay hai wo is shahary khamosha ka khayal
Roz ik nao gulabo se bhari ati hai
Zindgi kese bus ho gai k hum ko tabish
Sabar ata hai na ashfta sari ati hai

Ye ajab sayete rukhsat hai k dar lagta hai

Ye ajab sayete rukhsat hai k dar lagta hai

Shahar ka shahar mujay rakhtay safar lagta hai

Hum ko dil ney nahi halat ne nazdik kiya

Dhoop main dor se her shakhs shajar lagata hai

Jis pay chaltay hoye socha tha k lout aon ga

Ab wo rasta bhi mujay shahary badr lagta hai

Muj se to dil bhi muhabat main nahi kharch hoya

Tum to kehtay thay k is kam main gar lagta hai

Waqat lafzo se banai hoi chadar jesa

Orh leta hun to sub khawab hunar lagta hai

Aik mudat se meri maan nahi soi Tabish

Maine ik bar kaha tha mujay dar lagta hai

Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai

Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai

K jab sarso ki gandal tha badan mera

Hawa muj ko khilati thi

Mujay charkhay ki khokhar se hi gahri nind ati thi

Dahan main sheer madar ki mahak k akhri din thay

Jawani jhil milati thi

Meri ankhon meray hatho meray pero main bosay thay

Meri maan muskurati thi

Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai

Main apnay ap main rahta tha jese phol main khushbu

Mujay ik naam ghar ki trah mitha tha ab bhi hai

Is ki shakrain chub main

Kahani lo barati thi

Ye baran saal pahlay ki kahani hai

Main hatho se gira harfe dua ban kar

Magar boso bhari shafqat tasali dhond lati thi

Na main sardo ki gandal tha

Na muj ko nind ati thi

Ajab c bay sbasi thi

Phir ik din bay gari muj ko meray ghar se nikal i

K jesay ankh se anso nikal ker phir nahi ata

Tujay to sab khabar ho gi

Mujay malk juno miras main day ker koi wapas plat aya

Wahan ki jagti ratain

Ser khama utarti nind ki khatain

Wo daftar main paray pather kleb se phot ti batain

Na main sardo ki gandal tha

Na ab charkhay ki khokhar thi k muj ko nind a jati

Pari muj ko dra jati

Ye bara roz pahalay ki kahani hai

Mujay gari ne station pay la phaynka

To mera shahar hi gum tha

Meri pahchan he gum thi

Meray dukh se bhara tanga gaya jab raylay bazar ki janib

Mera ghar bhi meray bachpan ki sorat

Gard guzran main kahin gum tha

Phir ik shahtot ki chao se pocha apnay baray main

Kisi saya kay nakshay ki sorat khul gaya muj per

Na is main mera bachpan tha

Na meray khana zado ki nishani thi

Phir ik dokan pay lat ki hoi tasveer se pocha

Tujay to sub khabar hogi

Yayan Abbas Tabish naam ka aik shakas rahata tha

Kahan hai wo

Na ba sarso ki gandal

Na wo charkhay ki khokhar

Magar ab band darwazay pay dundlay naam ki takhti

Meray gar ki nishani hai

Ye meray aaj k din ki kahani hai

Ye un dino ka zikar hai ik badsha tha

Ye un dino ka zikar hai ik badsha tha
Jis ki nazar main zindgi karna gunah tha
Shoq e marjat ki waha urth rahi tha khak
Kashti jali hoi thi kinara sayah tha
Main us k sath phirta tha kasre qaseem main
Is doti ka ik kabotar gawa tha
Betha tha is pay chand kisi cheel ki taraha
Kitna land shahar main nakhle gunah tha
Totay paro ka taj meri yadgar hai
At kaj kala main bhi kabhi kaj kala tha
Ahlay hunar ko meri raror thi jin dino
Takiya faqeer ka meri ama jaga main tha

Benaam Sa Ye Dard, Thehar Kyon Nahi Jata,

Benaam Sa Ye Dard, Thehar Kyon Nahi Jata,
Jo Beet Gaya Hai, Woh Guzar Kyon Nahi Jata,

Sab Kuch To Hai, Kya Dhundti Rahti Hai Nigahe,
Kya Baat Hai Main Waqt Pe Ghar Kyon Nahi Jata,

Woh Ek Hi Chera To, Nahi Sare Jahan Mein,
Jo Dur Hai Woh Dil Se Utar Kyon Nahi Jata,

Main Apni Hi Uljhi Hui Raho Ka Tamasha,
Jate Hain Jidhar Sab, Main Udhar Kyon Nahi Jata,

Woh Naam Jo Barso Se, Na Chehra Na Badan Hai,
Woh Khawaab Agar Hai To Bikhar Kyo Nahi Jataa

Wo Bholta hai na dil me utaarta hai mujhe.

Wo Bholta hai na dil me utaarta hai mujhe. 

Hamesha maar mohabat ki maarta hai mujhe. 

Main us ka lamha mujaod hoon magar wo shakhs. 

Fazool waqt samajh kar guzarta hai mujhe. 

Bazahir aisa nahi pairh is hawaili ka. 

Hawa chalay tu buhat phool marta hai mujhe. 

Main us k hath me jata hon maalo zar ki tarha. 

Wo roz qarz samajh kar utarta hai mujhe.
