Ashaar Na ab raqeeb na naseh na ghum-ghusaar koi Koi hum nafas nahi, koi hum nawa nahi hai Woh log khush kismat the Apni Maazi ke tasaavoor se hiraasa hoon mein Tum jo tehar jaao Mujh se pehali si mohabbat Aaeeye haath uThaaeN ham bhi

Duniya ne teri yaad se begaana kar diya tujh se bhi dil-fareb hain gham rozgaar ke ********** Hui hai hazrat-e-naaseh se guftagu ji shab woh shab zaroor sar-e-kue-yaar guzri hai ********** Aur bhi gham hain zamaane meN mohabbat ke sivaa raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke sivaa ********** Woh baat saare fasaane me jis ka zikar na tha woh baat unk bahut naagawar guzri hai ********** DostoN us chashm-o-lab ki kuch kaho jis ke baghair gulistaN ki baat raNgeen hai na mai-khaane ka naam ********** Mil gaye ho to chalo rasm-e-duniya hi sahi warna yuN pursish-e-ehwaal se kya hota hai ********** Gar baazi ishq ki hai, jo chaahe laga do Dar kaisa gar jeet gaye to kya kehna, haare bhi to baazi maat nahi ********** Damaan-e-dil ko gulzaar bana rakha hai aao ek din dekh lo dil-e-pur khoon ka hunar ********** Kar raha tha gham-e-jahaaN ka hisaab aaj tum yaad behisaab aaye

har rag-e-khooN meiN phir chiraaghaaN ho saamne phir woh be-naqaab aaye ********** Umar-e-jaaved ki dua karte Faiz woh itne kab hamaare the **********

Ghazal
Na ab raqeeb na naseh na ghum-ghusaar koi tum aashna the to theeN aashnaiyaaN kya kya pohaNch kar dar pe tere mautbar tehre agar-che raah meiN hui jag-hasaaNiyaaN kya kya hum aise saada-luhon ki niyaaz mandi se butoN ne ki haiN jahaN mein khudaaiyaaN kya kya sitam pe khush kabhi lutf-o-karam pe ranjeeda sikhaieN tum ne hameiN kaj-adaiyaaN kya kya

Ghazal
Koi hum nafas nahi, koi hum nawa nahi hai ek dil tha faqt apna, ab woh bhi nahi hai kyun dekhte rahe sitaron ki taraf hum jab unse mulaqat ka vaada bhi nahi hai marne ka tere gham me iraada bhi nahi hai hai ishq, magar itna zyada bhi nahi hai Inhi paththaron pe chal ke aa sako to aao mere ghar ke raaste mein koi kehkashan nahi hai

Aashique
Woh log khush kismat the jo ishq ko kaam samajhte the yaa kaam se aashiqui karte the hum jeete ji masroof rahe, kuch ishq kiya, kuch kaam kiya kaam ishq ke aade aata raha, aur ishq se kaam ulajhta raha phir aakhir me tung aakar hum ne dono ko adhoora chod diya

Faraar
Apni Maazi ke tasaavoor se hiraasa hoon mein apni guzre hue ayyaam se nafrat hai mujhe apni bekaar tamanaaoo pe sharminda hoon apni be-sood umeedoo pe nidaamat hai mujhe mere maazi ko andhere mein daba rehne do mera maazi meri zilat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi meri umeedoo ka hasil meri kaavish ka sila ek benaam aziyat ke siwa kuch bhi nahi

Tum jo Thehar jaao

Tum jo pal ko Thehar jaao to yeh lamhe bhi aane wale lamhoN ki amaanat ban jaayeN tum jo Thehar jaao to yeh raat, mehtaab yeh sabza yeh gulaab aur hum donoN ke khuwaab sab ke sab aise mub-ham hoN ke haqeeqat ho jaayeN tum Thehar jaao ke unwaaN ki tafseer ho tum tum se talkhi-e-auqaat ka mausam badale raat to kya badalegi haaalat to kya badaleN ge tum jo Thehar jaao to meri zaat ka mausam badale meharbaaN ho ke na Theharo to phir yuN Theharo jaise pal bhar ko koi kuwaab-e-tamanna Thehare jaise durweshe madaH-nosh ke pyaale meiN kabhi ek do pal ke liye talkhi-e-duniya Thehare Thehar jaao ke madaarat mai-khaane se chalate chalate koi ek aadh subu ho jaaye is se pehale keh koi lamha aainda ka teer is tarha aaye ke pewaste gulu ho jaaye
