Dil mein ik lehar see uthee hai abhee
Koi taaza hawaa, chalee hai abhee

Shorr bharpaa hai, khaan-e-dil mein
Koee deewar see, giree hai abhee

Bharee dunyaa mein jee naheen lagthaa
Jaane kis cheez kee, kamee hai abhee

Kuch to naazuk mizaaj hain hum bhee
Aurr yeh chot bhee, nayee hai abhee

my favourite shair.........

Soo gay'e loog is hawelee ke
Ek khirkee magar, khulee hai abhee (2.30 a.m)

Sheharr kee be-chiraagh galiyoon mein
Zindagee tujh ko, dhoondathee hai abhee

Yaad ke be-nishaan jazeeroon se
Teree aawaaz aa, rahee hai abhee

Waqt achaa bhee aa'e gaa naasir
Gham na kar zindagee, paree hai abhee

Dil mein ik lehar see...........

Yeh jo do Ghadi kabhee ham kaheen

jo guzar laytay hain kobakoo

Yehi do Ghari kee hay guftago

Koee guftago ka jawaz hay?

Teri zindagi may khiyal hay

Teri zindagi ka jawaz hay

Tujhay zindagi ka khumar hay

Teri zindagi to hay zindagi

Meri zindagi ka pata nahee

Kabhee main chaman kee bahar tha

Magar ab to ek saraab hoon

Main gaee ruttoon ka shabab hoon

Magar ab bhee mujh may qarar hay

Magar ab bhee mera woojood hay

Jo agar judai hoee kabhee

to yeh rakhna yaad lamhe haseen...........

Yeh jo do Ghadi kabhee ham kaheen

jo guzar laytay hain kobaho

Yehi do ghadi kee hay guftagoo

Koee guftago may hay justajoo

Nahee koee jis ka jawaz hay

Magar ek is may be raaz hay

Yehi raaz hee to hay zindagi

Jo keh zindagi ka jawaz hay

Jo na hoon gay ham to yeh sochna

saray rah mil kay juda huay

Rahi zindagi to kabhee kaheen

saray rah miltay rahain gay ham

Yehi arzoo hay meri Najim

jo tadap rahi hay abhee talak

Dilay beqarar may kobako

Yehi do ghadi kee hay guftago........

Muhjay yaad hain wo haseen pal, jo tera mera wo qarar tha

Wo Muhabbatain mujhay yaad hain, nahee koee jin ka shumar tha

Mujhay yaad hain teri chahatain, wo sharartain bhee zara zara

Kabhee tujh ko mujh say bhee chah thee, to meray chaman kee bahar tha

Jo guzar gai meri zindagi, mujhay lag rahi hay wo khawb ik

Kabhee wo bhee yar theen ronkain, kabhee wo bhee lail-o-nihar tha

Yaka yak falak may yoon ja-ba-ja, chaleen aandhian lutay aashian

Hoeen nafratain chalay teer bhee, mera dil hee unn ka shikar tha

Jo chalay thay teer kuman say, to kuma tha meray he yaar ka

Yeh wohee tha "yaar" keh jo Najim, kabhee jaan say tujh peh nisar tha

Kabhee Yaad phir jo aa-ain

Wohee ujlee ujlee yaadain, Wohee meethee meethee baatain

Wohee nahr ka kinara, Wohee raunqain puranee

Kabhee tera gudgudana, kabhee mera muskurana

To unhain bhee yaad karna

Jinhain kho dia hay ham nay

Jo kabhee udaas baitho, to mujhay bhee yaad karna

Wohee na tamam yaadain, wohee naam yaad karna

Wohaee naam jo abhee tak, meray gird goonjtay hain

Jo na main bhulaa sakoon ga

Jo na tum bhulaa sako gay.....

Mera Dunya main aana Aazmaeesh hay meree

Mera Dunya say jana Imtihaan hoga mera

Ek apnay Wojooday khak-o-mattee kay sir per

Shehn-shahay Jahan ka mainay her hukm tala

Garchay Muslim hoon main to, Kafirana amal hain

Din to Masjid main guzra, shab ko may-khana hoga

Sir jhukaya kabhee jab, mainay paya Khuda ko

Bada kash main huaa jab, khud ko bay haal dekha

Larz utth-ta hoon main to, soochta hoon Najim jab

Maut aaee jo meree, mera kia haal hoga?
