Bichad gaye toh yeh dil umr bhar lagega nahi ... lagega lagne laga hai, magar lagega nahi ... nahi lageya usse dekh kar, magar woh khush hai ... main khush nahi hoon, magar dekh kar lagega nahi

Jeb mein kalam rakhne se shayar nahi banoge ... kalam zakhmon pe rakhni padti hai

Yeh joh zameer hai na, yeh kaanpta zaroor hai ... kabhi gunaah se pehle, kabhi gunaah ke baad

Gham koi dena hai toh dede mujhe ... dil mein rakh loonga nishani ki tarah

Main samundaron ka mijaaz hoon ... abhi us nadi ko pata nahi ... sabhi mujhse aake lipat gayi ... main kisi se jaake mila nahi

Yeh khoon, yeh wafa, yeh dua khandaan ki ... keemat bahut badi hai purane makaan ki

Bade ehtiyaad se rafta-rafta nikaalna hai ... bacha hai joh tujh mein mera hissa nikaalna hai ... nikaal laya hoon pinjre se ek parinda ... ab us parinde ke dil se pinjra nikaalna hai

Mera lehja cactus sa khurdura ... teri baatein raat rani ki tarah

Udaasi mein haste hai, khush ho toh rote hai ... yeh musafir mohabbat ke bade ajeeb hote hai

Dard ne kuch aisa mujhe jinjoda, ki woh gali, woh mahulla, woh shehar chhoot gaya ... khatta yeh huyi ke toda ek masoom sa dil ... saza yeh mili ke rishta sabhi se toot gaya

Le liya jugnuo taaro se karza maine ... magar apne chaand ko hargiz nahi kharcha maine

Dost, kareebi thi wajah, badnaseebi thi wajah ... woh joh aaj aake tere mere beech aa gayi ... tang haali haaye, meri gareebi thi wajah

Joh shayar kameena nahi hota, woh kameena shayar nahi hota

Batwa ya aashiq hai, usse khwaish nahi noton ki ... is tijori mein jagah hai bas mehboob ke photo ki

Kisi bemulk riyasat ke nawab lag rahe hai aap ... khasir kharaab lag rahe hai aap

Zeest ke pech-o-kham, yeh gham uff kam nahi hote ... woh toh ho jaate hai woh, hum, hum nahi hote

Kayi daffa mohabbat ko zinda rakhne ke liye, uske diye zakhmo ko kuredte rehna padta hai

Log botal kholke peete hai ... hum dil kholke peete hai

Mehakte lafzon ko ghazalon mein dhaal sakta hoon ... main kagazon se bhi khushboo nikaal sakta hoon ... tu meri jeb mein rakhe huye kalam pe na jaa ... main waqt aane pe chaaku bhi nikaal sakta hoon

Mohabbat kabhi jhooti nahi hoti ... kayi daffa jis se hum mohabbat kar behet'te hai, woh jhoota hota hai ... lekin mohabbat hamesha sachi hoti hai

Daur-e-ishq mein judaai ka gumaan bhi na tha ... uske haath ki mere paas koi tehreer bhi na thi ... sab poochte hai ke dikhne mein kaisi lagti hai woh ... uske saath meri koi tasveer bhi na thi

Jannte ho is duniya mein sabse fizool kaam kya hai ... uske baare mein sochna joh aapke baare mein sochta na ho

Angrezi seekhne mein koi aitraaz nahi hai ... pankh deti hai, naya aasmaan deti hai ... lekin Urdu ghosla hai, shaam ko ussi mein aana hota hai

Raat agar chaand bech de toh amavas ho jaati hai

Kamyaabi ka station aksar door hota hai, lekin chalte rehna chahiye ... kyun ki kahin na kahin kamyaabi ko bhi intezaar hota hai shidaat ki train ka

Fankaar askar jeete jee mashoor nahi hote, aur marte hi mahaan ho jaate hai ... zindagi gurbat ki aur maut shohrat ki

Shayari mein aur ishq mein farak nahi hai pyare ... dono hi mein shuruvaat mein lafz se sirf wah-wah nikalti hai ... aur jab gehrayi mein jaao toh dil se aah-aah hi nikalti hai

Shayari ki rooh alfaaz nahi, jazbaat hai ... logon ke dil mein utro toh baat hai

Hai koi jisse teri yaari na ho ... aadmi itna bhi bazaari na ho ... mujhse bhi hokar woh aage badh chuka ho ... dost bachke, ab teri baari na ho
