Ab ke tajdeed-e-wafa ka nahin imkan janan

ab k tajdeed-e-wafa ka nahi imkaaN jaana
yaad kya tujhko dilaaein tera paymaaN jaana

yunhi mosam ki ada daikh k yaad aaya hai
kis qadar jald badal jaatay hein insaaN jaana

zindagi teri ataa thi so tere naam ki hai
hum ne jaisi bhi basar ki tera ehsaaN jaana

dil ye kehta hai k shaayad ho fasurda tu bhi
dil ki kya baat karein, dil to hai naadaaN jaana

awwal awwal ki muhabbat k nashay yaad to kar
be-piye bhi tera chehra tha gulistaaN jaana

aakhir aakhir to ye aalam hai k ab hosh nahi
rag-e-meena sulag uthi k rag-e-jaaN jaana

muddaton se yehi aalam, na tavaqqo na umeed
dil pukaaray hi chala jaata hai “jaana jaana”

hum bhi kya saada thay, hum ne bhi samajh rakha tha
gham-e-doraaN se juda hai Gham-e-jaana jaana

ab k kuch aesi saji mehfil-e-yaaraN jaana
sar-ba-zaanu hai koi sar-ba-girebaaN jaana

har koi apni hi awaaz se kaanp uthta hai
har koi apnay hi saaey se hiraasaN jaana

jis ko dekho wohi zanjeer-ba-pa lagata hai
shehr ka shehr hua daaKhil-e-zindaaN jaana

ab tera zikr bhi shaayad hi Gazal mein aaye
aur se aur hua dard ka unvaaN jaana

hum k roothi hui rut ko bhi mana lete thay
hum ne dekha hi na tha mosam-e-hijraaN jaana

hosh aaya to sabhii Khwaab thay reza reza
jaisay urtay huay auraaq-e-pareshaaN jaana
