Hunar...

Main dam bhi lunga koyi saaya nazar to aa jaaye,
Hai kitni door ab manzil khabar to aa jaaye.

Abhi aaghaaz hai to aagahi se kya darna,
Zara raftaar mein mera safar to aa jaaye.

Main sunaaunga kisi din tumhe apna kissa,
Hai intezaar lafzon mein asar to aa jaaye.

Hai woh quvvat ke main jeet hi lunga duniya,
Dilon ko jeetne ka bas hunar to aa jaaye...

-'Khayaal'

Bahaar aane taq....

देखा है मैंने दश्त में भी बहार आते हुए,
दर्द के मारे हुओं को करार पाते हुए।
एक मुझी पर क्यों न होता है मेहरबान ख़ुदा,
देखा तिफ्लों को भी दरिया के पार जाते हुए।

है कमी मुझमें या कि है कमी ज़माने में,

पेश आती है मुश्क़िलें क्यों घर बनाने में,
गूँजते हैँ यही सवाल इस वीराने में,
मुझसे दूर जाते हुए कुछ मेरे क़रीब आते हुए।

ऐ दोस्तों, मुझको न तुम दीवाना कहो,
ये सवाल आम है इसको तो न अंजाना कहो,
इसे बस मेरा नहीं, अपना भी अफ़साना कहो,
हंसोगे कब तक दिल में मुश्किलें छुपाते हुए।

मैंने देखा है दश्त में भी बहार आते हुए...

Mera Ghar

Pehchaan.ne se ab mujhe darta hai mera ghar,
Main jis gali rehta hoon, wahaan se hi kyon aksar,
Bina dua-salaam guzarta hai mera ghar.

-"Khayaal"

Saayeqaat..

Ghiri ghata hai magar koyi saayeqaat nahin,
Halki si baarish hai ae dil darne ki koyi baat nahin.

Dil bahel jaaye hawaayein ab aisi kahaan,
Aur rula de jo hoti woh ab barsaat nahin.

Hamne duniya ke liye ashqon se adaavat kar li,
Aur khush rahoon ab aise mere haalaat nahin.

Sun.na chaaho to mere dil ki dhadkanein sun lo,
Ab sunaane ko mere paas waaqiyaat nahin.

-'Khayaal'

Visaal...

Yeh qurbaton ka kya naya nizaam aaya hai,
Hai Vasl ek gunaah yeh paighaam aaya hai.

Unki imaandaari ko to dekhiye zara,
Bas main hi hoon jis par haseen ilzaam aaya hai.

Tum bhi to they zoya-e-visaal-e-mukammalaan,
Phir kaise yahaan bas mera hi naam aaya hai.

Naseeb tha na tarq karna na ulfat naseeb mein,
Kaisa yeh mere ishq ka anjaam aaya hai.

Rehte they is 'khayaal' se saare hi tagaaful,
Jaane yeh kaise zikr sar-e-aam aaya hai...

मनुष्यता....

निजता का ध्यान कर
स्वयं का सम्मान कर।
है मनुष्य तो मनुष्यता

के लिये बलिदान कर।।

प्रकाश के प्रचारकों को,
आलोक-पुंज धारकों को।
दिव्य के प्रसारकों को
रश्मि-किरण दान कर।।

नवीन का संचार हो
और ज्ञान का विस्तार हो।
अद्वैत सदाचार हो तू
ऐसा अनुष्ठान कर।।

Zabt....

Zabt ke fard chaaq chaaq siye jaate hain,
Zindagi deti hai aawaaz jiye jaate hain.

Ek din aayega hamara charagar bhi koyi,
Bas yehi soch ke ham dard piye jaate hain.

Zakhm dukhte hain raqeebon ko khushi milti hai,
Chupke chupke woh hampe waar kiye jaate hain.

Meri majbooriyon par lutf unhe aata hai,
Kehkahe unke meri jaan liye jaate hain...

Baaqi Shaam

Shaam baaqi thi main mehfil se chala aaya tha
Bujhte angaaron ko main fir se jala aaya tha

Aaye to they wahaan sab shaam ko rangeen karne
Dil ko karne roshan kon bhala aaya tha

Chehre apnon ke bhi lagte nahi the apnon se
Har koyi ajnabi rangon mein dhala aaya tha

Sard jismo ki tapish ka 'khayaal' kisne kiya
Kisko pata chala ke ek dil ka jalaa aaya tha...

-'Khayaal'

Munaasibat...

Main kyon aakhir wahi sab mas-ale har baar likhoon,
Sej sholon ko likhoon aur gulon ko khaar likhoon.

Kaisi chubhte hain nashtar yeh mere seene mein
Kaise neze huye dilon ke aar-paar likhoon.

Tumhaari jeet meri jeet hai, tum kehte they,
Tumhaari jeet ko phir kaise apni haar likhoon.

Jawaab mein hi kyonkar rahoon uljha itna,
Sawaal baaqi hain jo reh gaye do chaar likhoon.

Jawaab they tumhaare paas mere shikwon ke,
Magar jawaab ko haami ya ke inqaar likhoon.

Tumhaare pehlu mein madhosh tha main sadiyon taq,
Hai munaasib ke ab khud ko main bedaar likhoon...

Saraab-e-Khayaal

Qaraar paane ki koshish mein aur lutaya hamne,
Jis simt nazar ki tumko khada paaya hamne.

Fareb tha ke haqeeqat ise ab kya kahiye,
Jagmaga sa jo tha dekha tera saaya hamne.

Hai kashish ashq mein ya dil ki kuch majboori hai,
Jitna diya dilasa khud ko aur rulaaya hamne.

Is qadar phans ke reh haya hu is saraab-e-Khayaal mein,
Khud ko bhula diya aur tumko bhi na paaya hamne...

Khaaron ki chubhan ka bhi na shikwa kare koyi,
Tum hi kaho ke aise mein ab kya kare koyi

Hai vahshaton ke saaye mein Imaan ki basti,
Kisko hai fikr jaan ki parwaah kare koyi...

Haqeekat

Hijaab-e-mehvish azaab nikla
Jawaab nikla ke baab nikla

Wo ek mushq thi jo chhupaye chhupi na
Yeh ishq aur tha be-naqaab nikla

Woh jiski tamanna thi belaag dil ko
Wo hi shauq-e-khana kharaab nikla

Purana sa ek gul kitaabon se nikla,
Main hairaan hoon kaise shaadaab nikla.

Justjoo

Dasht ki dastaq huyi hai phir bahaar mein
Kuch naqsh-e-paa hain phir mere hi intezaar mein

Zarra zarra wajud chhina jata hai kyonkar,
Kuch bhi raha na jaise mere ikhtiyaar mein

Barson tadap rahi thi ek aahat koyi jaise
Sadiyon kati hai raat isi izteraar mein

Lamba hai yeh kissa-e-justjoo-e-kehkashaan
Ek toot'ta taara samajh lo ikhtesaar mein

Woh surkh rang gul khilega to ek din
Guzarta gaya 'Khayaal' isi aitbaar mein...

-"Salman -Khayaal"

Tamashayee

Zindagi mein kuch aise sakht muqaam aaye hain
Kam hi hua hai ke jab apne hi kaam aaye hain.

Shauq-e-tamaasha is had ko badh gaya dekho,
Phoonk kar apne hi deewaar-o-dar-o-baam aaye hain.

Aur to aur tamaashbeeni ka kissa suniye
Kal talak koyi na tha ab log tamaam aaye hain.

Fareb-rukh pe jo they hamdardi ka ghoonghat daale,
Dekho wo be-naqaab sare-aam aaye hain...

Badla Andaaz

Hai sheher purana par badle
Andaaz se ab dar lagta hai
Anjaam to hai matloob magar
Aaghaaz se ab dar lagta hai

Yeh oonchi oonchi meenarein,
Oonche hone ka paagalpan
Udne ki khwaahish hai lekin
Parvaaz se ab dar lagta hai

Yeh qadam qadam pe chauraste
Manzil ko bhulaate chalte hain
Mujhko in Galiyon ke badle
Sheeraz se ab dar lagta hai

Sheeri bhi zubaan ki talkh huyi
Kaanon ko dehshat hoti hai
Belaag barasne waale un
Alfaaz se ab dar lagta hai...

Sard Ehsaas..

Shaam baaqi thi main mehfil se chala aaya tha

Bujhte angaaron ko main fir se jala aaya tha

Aaye to they wahaan sab shaam ko rangeen karne 

Dil ko karne roshan kon bhala aaya tha

Chehre apnon ke bhi lagte nahi the apnon se

Har koyi ajnabi rangon mein dhala aaya tha

Sard jismo ki tapish ka 'khayaal' kisne kiya

Kisko pata chala ke ek dil ka jalaa aaya tha

Aaftaab-e-khayaal-e-yaar

Teri Aatish se mera jism pighal jaata hai
Aur too bekhabar har shaam ko dhal jaata hai

Phir mera haal hai kya dekhne ko chupke se
Banke Mehtaab too karke hijaab aata hai

Jis se hai ishq mujhe too uska aaina hai
Tujhe dekhoon to woh bada bebaaq nazar aata hai

Too mere Khayaal-e-yaar ka sooraj hai ajeez
'Khayaal' mein hi sahi par uski khabar laata hai

Na Jaano tum

Tum na hamraaz ho mere aur hamsafar bhi nahi
Par bina tere mere lafzon mein kuch asar bhi nahi

Main yeh bata na sakoon tumko ke ho kaun mere
Aur tumko meri haalat ki kuch khabar bhi nahi

Mera dil roz tadapta hai mere seene me
Hai kahin aur muqaam isko ke mayassar bhi nahi

Main hoon jo paas tere to bhi ashq zaari hain
Main jaaoon chhor tujhe itna mera jigar bhi nahi

Hai ajabnaak kahaani yeh karoon kaise bayaan
Hai to chhoti si magar itni mukhtsar bhi nahi

Chal padaa hoon main Ilaahi ek aisi raah pe ab
Saans bhi loon to kahan ispe koyi shazar bhi nahi...
-'khayaal'

Kya paaya

Woh jisne tijaarat ko hi imaan bana rakkha tha
Aur harf-e-Quraani ko taakhon me saja rakkha tha

Rang-o-boo ke taraddud wo bade karta tha
Aisee cheezon ko apni shaan bana rakkha tha

Mil gaya khaaq mein woh bhi dekho
Aasmaano mein jisne maqaan bana rakkha tha
-'Khayaal'

'Majaz' ke naam

Woh nahi hai to bhi har sher hai 'Khayaal' uska
Ki jab wo tha to har taraf tha jamaal uska

Wo bebaak kiye jata tha awargi ke kisse bayaan
Ho chala tha daur-e-adab me zikr aam uska

Uske har lafz ne ek nayi kahaani likhi
Rah gaya laajawaab ab talaq sawaal uska

Yon to pehle bhi 'Asraar' use kehte the
Phir naya rang isme mil gaya taqallus ka

Usne bahr-e-sana me khilwaton ki rau daali
Majaaz tha woh aur tha 'Majaaz' hi naam uska...

Maayoosi

Apne haalaat ki saaqi ko khabar hone tak
Main chhalakta hoon kyon har raat sahar hone tak

Waqfa-e-dhadkano me bhi kyon dil dhadakta hai
Ashq behte hain kyon khoon se tar hone tak

Main jo gumsum hoon koyi baat zaroori to nahi
Waqt lagta hai magar khatm-e-asar hone tak

Baad muddat ke mujhe ab ye 'khayaal' aaya hai
Chaand bhi rehta hai maayoos badar hone tak

Raah kaisi

Tum na hamraaz ho mere aur hamsafar bhi nahi
Par bina tere mere lafzon mein kuch asar bhi nahi

Main yeh bata na sakoon tumko ke ho kaun mere
Aur tumko meri haalat ki kuch khabar bhi nahi

Mera dil roz tadapta hai mere seene me
Hai kahin aur muqaam isko ke mayassar bhi nahi

Main hoon jo paas tere to bhi ashq zaari hain
Main jaaoon chhor tujhe itna mera jigar bhi nahi

Hai ajabnaak kahaani yeh karoon kaise bayaan
Hai to chhoti si magar itni mukhtsar bhi nahi

Chal padaa hoon main Ilaahi ek aisi raah pe ab
Saans bhi loon to kahan ispe koyi shazar bhi nahi...

Haqeekat

Toone kaha jo bhi mere dil me darj raha
Maine jo keh diya aankho se toone suna bhi nahi

To agar door hai aankho se to kuch sukoon to hai,
tera is dil me base rehna itna bura bhi nahi

Yehi naseeb hai mera main tumse door rahoon
Too jab qareeb tha to main yeh samajh saka hi nahi

Ab khayaal rehta hai bas tera to koyi uljhan nahi hai
Mere qareeb hona kyonki teri razaa hi nahi

Main aansuon me khush hoon mujhe khush rehne do
Tumhaare saamne to khul ke main hansaa bhi nahi.....

Waaqiye

woh jo kehte hain ajab waaqiye nahi hote
aur hote hain jo woh saamne nahi hote

apni har nafs naye daur se guzarti hai
hain unhe yeh gila kuch khaas tajurbe nahi hote

hai jo imaan pe har waqt shaan se qaayam
paas us dil ke kabhi waswase nahi hote

hai ke taqdeer badi cheez itna jaan le too
warna tere mere yeh silsile nahi hote...

Saraab-e-haqeekat Part 2

Hai khoon barasta har subah aaftaab se
Hai teeragi si phailee bhare maahtaab se

Har ek saans jo chalti hai to dam nikalta hai
Kaise mumkin hai paar paana aise azaab se

Yeh hai wahi duniya ke aur duniya hai
Aansu agar nikle hain to baatil hubaab se

Sab wo maqtal hain ab jo kabhi gulshan the
Kaise nikle hain raaz-e-ilhaam dekho saraab se

Ab sard hawaaon me bhi thithuran nahi baaqi
Aati nahi hai khushboo kisi bhi gulaab se

Hai haqeeqat yeh ya 'khayaal' mera hai
Dariyaa bhare lahoo se hain aur nasein aab se...

Shikaayat

Unko hai shikaayat kyon na kuch kehta hoon main
Abhi hai zarf kuch baaqi to chup rehta hoon main.

Woh keh rahe hain dost jo khud ko mera ajeez
Koyi unse jaake pooch le kahaan rehta hoon main

Mujhko hi khud saraab khuda ne bana diyaa,
Kab se yunhi pyaasa dariyaaon mein behta hoon main

Tum jo samajh rahe ho mujhe woh nahi hoon main
Phir kya wajood hai mera, is soch mein rehta hoon main

Tere qareeb hoon main aur hoon tumse door bhi
Hai agar yeh zindagi to haan- zinda rehta hoon main...
-'khayaal'

Saraab-e-haqeekat

Raah-e-guzar-e-zindagi kuch log yun miley
Phir chale raaste vaakiye silsiley

Kuch talkh tabassum aur kuch teshaan-e-sheereen
Kuch raaz bhi mile o kuch hamraaz bhi mile

Kisko hai kya khabar ke hai parbat ke paar kya
Gulshan mile ke faqt saraab-e-yakeen miley

Kuch dhoondhte hi reh gaye apne azeez ko
Kuch pehle ke musaafir darmiyaan makeen miley

Rakkho ye bas 'Khayaal' ke ummeed totey na
Wo hai ke chaar-su jahaan dekho wahin miley.

Bechainee

Uski aankhon me bhi hai izteraar aaj ki raat
Dekhne wali hai yeh ravish-e-yaar aaj ki raat

Thaa surkh rang mera fard-e-gham-e-pinhaan
Nikla lahoo ashko se to aaya qaraar aaj ki raat
 

Ab talaq goya main jiya koocha-e-qaatil
Marna naseeb tha jo koo-e-yaar aaj ki raat

Sholey aseer hain abhi kuch gard-e-aatishaan
Dekhoge isi raakh me phir se sharaar aaj ki raat.

Khwaahish...

Tumko dekhe zamana hua hai
Jaane ab kaisi lagti ho
Ab bhi singaar sajaati ho
Haatho me mehndi rachti ho?

Us gulmohar ke ped tale
Jab ham alsaate rehte the
Kuch baatein khatti meethi si
Aankhon me karte rehte they
Woh din bhi saare hawa huye
Ham door huye phir juda huye
Yeh ab bhi socha karta hoon
Main gulmohar ki chhaao tale
Kya ab bhi sir dhak kar chalti ho??

Main jo mar jaaoon to itna karna
Woh dupatta mujhe udhaa dena....

Ahwaal...

Mere dayaar me koyi jo pur-asbaab aata hai,
Bas haafiz hai WO hi, dil se yehi jawaab aata hai.

Na uthaya jaata hai nivala na khaya jaata hai
Banke mohsin jab shauk-e-khana kharaab aata hai.

Is haal-e-chaman pe kaleja kaamp jata hai
Bada ghamgeen hota hai aksar jo ek khwaab aata hai.

Saayebaano ke saaye hi me jab azaab aata hai
Rooh hoti hai jab bismil to inqelaab aata hai...

Khayaal....

Yeh veerana ye khaalipan mujhe ab raas aata hai
Ke jitna door jaata hai woh utna paas aata hai

Agarche dhoondhta hu usko to apne kareeb hota hoon
Aur jab khud ko talaashoon to wo mere nazdeeq aata hai

Khudaya kaisi uljhan hai yeh kaisa hai sukoon dil ko
Ke har aakhir me yeh kaisa ajab aagaaz aata hai

Agar too woh nahi jisko main socha roz karta hoon
To reh reh ke phir mujhe yeh kis ka 'khayaal' aata hai

Aaj ki raat...

Uski aankhon me bhi hai izteraar aaj ki raat
Dekhne wali hai yeh ravish-e-yaar aaj ki raat

Thaa surkh rang mera fard-e-gham-e-pinhaan
Nikla lahoo ashko se to aaya qaraar aaj ki raat
 

Ab talaq goya main jiya koocha-e-qaatil
Marna naseeb tha jo koo-e-yaar aaj ki raat

Sholey aseer hain abhi kuch gard-e-aatishaan
Dekhoge isi raakh me phir se sharaar aaj ki raat.
-'khayaal'

Bas itna karna...

Tumko dekhe zamana hua hai
Jaane ab kaisi lagti ho
Ab bhi singaar sajaati ho
Haatho me mehndi rachti ho?

Us gulmohar ke ped tale
Jab ham alsaate rehte the
Kuch baatein khatti meethi si
Aankhon me karte rehte they
Woh din bhi saare hawa huye
Ham door huye phir juda huye
Yeh ab bhi socha karta hoon
Main gulmohar ki chhaao tale
Kya ab bhi sir dhak kar chalti ho??

Main jo mar jaaoon to itna karna
Woh dupatta mujhe udhaa dena....

Azaab

Kab se bhatak rahe hain sab dasht-o-saraab mein
Hai kaisi teergee yeh chadhe aaftaab mein

Yeh kyon log bhatakte hain paabajola dar-badar
Hokar aseer fikr-e-go mago azaab mein

Jo joya-e-haq hain to kyon hain baatil mein
Kyon jee rahe hain saare is khalk-e-hubaab mein

Ab to yeh kehkashaan bhi lo uth khadi huyi
Sulagne lagi hai aag jab se maahtaab mein...

Ehteraam-e-deen

Jis dil se bhi imaan ki aadat chali gayi
Kaafir huye wo jinse ibaadat chali gayi

Bas yun samajhiye dil se jo khauf-e-khuda gaya
Saath uske sab gunjaish-e-rehmat chali gayi

Jis haath ne apne Khuda ka kabhi zikr na kiya
Us dast-e-sinaayi se sab san-at chali gayi

Dariye ke na aaye kabhi aisa koyi manzar
Saadiq kahein ke hamse sadaaqat chali gayi

Darvesh na bano na sahi kuch to karo 'khayaal'
Duniya na kahe ke Deen ki muhabbat chali gayi...

Surkh Nishaan.....

Meri chaahaton ka phir se nateeja sifar gaya
Mehnat se joda raat bhar dil phir bikhar gaya

Sir pe mere yeh sholey baras rahe hain kyon
Tha ek nanha baadal, na jaane kidhar gaya

Ek baar chun liya jo mehram usi ko phir
Main gaya wahaa wahaa wo jidhar jidhar gaya

Yun surkh nishaano ka bas peechha kiya karoon
Mere jism se nikal ke mera dil kidhar gaya
-'Khayaal'

Inqelaab

Mere dayaar me koyi jo pur-asbaab aata hai,
Bas haafiz hai WO hi, dil se yehi jawaab aata hai.

Na uthaya jaata hai nivala na khaya jaata hai
Banke mohsin jab shauk-e-khana kharaab aata hai.

Is haal-e-chaman pe kaleja kaamp jata hai
Bada ghamgeen hota hai aksar jo ek khwaab aata hai.

Saayebaano ke saaye hi me jab azaab aata hai
Rooh hoti hai jab bismil to inqelaab aata hai...

Khala...

Ek khala se guzar raha hoon main
Qatl apna hi kar raha hoon main

Ghair lagti hai yaar ki mehfil wahaan
Khud ke hone se dar raha hoon main

Raas aati nahi hain ab to anaa ki baatein
Pur-hausla tha kabhi ab sihar raha hoon main

Husn kyon lootne waalo ko mila karta hai
'Khayaal' bhi yeh Lut ke kar raha hoon main

Mera aane wala kal...

Main apne aaj ko kal pe nahi chhaane dunga
Naa to kisse aur na hi fasaane dunga

Main hu jo bhi jaisa bhi isi pal hoon main
Kal tasavvur me bhi kisi ke khud ko na aane dunga

Main yun hi chupchaap chala jaunga is duniya se
Na khabar dunga aur na gham manaane dunga...

Tanhaayi

Ab ke malool-o-tanhaayi ka mara hoon main
Na-aashnaa-e-visaal hoon naqaara hoon main

Hikaayaton mein meri ek tera hi bayaan hai
Shikaayaton mein teri hasad ka maara hoon main

Ab to mujhko mera jawaar bhi bhool gaya
Mujhe bhi khud 'Khayaal' nahi kab se aawaara hoon main.

Khuda Khair kare....

Makhdoom kiya tumko to kya gunaah kiya
Agar gunaah kiya to khuda khair kare

Fugaan na karoon tumse to ghair se gila karoon
Dil tumse hua hai soz Khuda khair kare.

Gulcheen aa gaye hain kuch mere dayaar mein
Ujad na jaaye ye gulistaan Khuda khair kare

Yeh jo hai zindagi....

Raat gehraane lagi thi, halki si dhundh bhi thee. Angithi me se budhiya ne do koyle ke tukde nikaal kar hukke me rakkhe aur gudgudaane lagi.
Paas hi ek tooti taang wali chaarpaayi pe leta boodha khakhaar ke thookta hua budhiya ko gandi gandi gaaliyaan sunaane laga.
Boodhe ko pichhle saal jaate phaagun se TB ne pakad liya tha, ab wo tha aur uski chaarpaayi... Kabhi haajat par uth jaata tha, kabhi gaflat me chaarpaayi kharaab karta tha to budhiya use gaali sunana shuru kar deti thi...
'sun budhiya', woh dheeme se bola, 'abki jo Raajesar aaye to usse keh ke yeh paya theek kara dena, sirhaane se toota hai, jab kabhi jhoolne lagta hai to kaleja muh ko aa jata hai.'
'Haan haan karwa doongi', budhiya ki zabaan bolte bolte halki si baayi taraf jhuk jaati thi, hakeem saahab ne faalis ka asar bataya tha aur Raajeshwar ko chitthi bhi likh di thi... Koyi teen saal huye.
Beechkhuch haqeem saab aate rehte the budhiya buddhe ka haal lene. Raajeshwar ke wazeefe ke liye inhi haqeem saab ne jugaad lagwaya tha, kehte phirte the bada zaheen ladka hai, apne maan baap aur poore gaon ka naam roshan karega... Ab khet bik chuka tha aur Raajeshwar ke liye gaon me kuch bhi baaki na bacha tha...
Waapas aata bhi to kis ke liye, un gaon walo ke liye jinse baat karne me use sharm aati thi ya un maan baap ke liye jinko maraa hua bata chuka tha aur apni shaadi tak me na bulaya... Boodhe ko sadma laga tha aur aksar behki behki baatein karta tha.
'is baar raajesar se keh kar apne liye angrezi waza ki chilam mangwaaunga aur tumhe dikha ke piyunga yun...', boodhe ko phir se khaansi ka daura pada aur budhiya use gaaliyaan sunaane lagi....

Kinaara

Baais-e-tarq-e-muhabbat jo bhi ho
Chhor jaane ka ishara to de diya hota

Main Ba-Khuda kuch Fariyaad-o-fugaan na karta
Raah takne ko ek sitara to de diya hota

Beech majhdhaar mein hi chhor gaye tum mujhko
Dagmagati thi kishti ke kinara to de diya hota...
-'Khayaal'

Gham-guzeedaan

Ishq-o-ibaadat ka bhi na ehtaraam kiya
Gham-guzeedaan ko gham diya to bada kaam kiya

Ham hawaason me hi luta dete tujhpe yeh jaan-o-jigar
Toone ke hosh chheene, nek kaam kiya

Pyaar ki taaqat ka sunte aaye the lekin
Mujhko mere hi Ishq ne naaqaam kiya

Jazb seene me kar yeh dhuaan, gard-o-gubaar
Ek aur ashq chhalka ke phir ek jaam piya...
-'Khayaal'

Jaane kyon...

Jaane kyon,
Khayaalon me gum si
Yeh raat kat-ti nahi
Iski lambaayi
Duniya ke siro tak
Khinchi jaati hai

Jaane kyon
Yeh uneende din
Yun guzar jaate hain-
Ek pal guzra ho jaise
Ek lafz kaanon me pada ho jaise
Ek ghoont paani piya ho jaise

Jaane kyon!!!

Kab se aawaara hoon main...

Ab ke malool-o-tanhaayi ka mara hoon main
Na-aashnaa-e-visaal hoon naqaara hoon main

Hikaayaton mein meri ek tera hi bayaan hai
Shikaayaton mein teri hasad ka maara hoon main

Ab to mujhko mera jawaar bhi bhool gaya
Mujhe bhi khud 'Khayaal' nahi kab se aawaara hoon main.

Deewangi...

Apni chaahat ki mujhe naakaam si hasrat na do
Ahsaan karo mujhpe aur khud ko yeh zehmat na do

Ghair hi dekha tha tumne ghair hi socha kiya
Ab to itna hi karo ke ilzaam-e-raqaabat na do

Yeh baat deegar ke meri aankhon se chand aansu bahein
Na aao paas dil mera kamzor hai, ise hairat na do

Haste huye rona pada mujhko sar-e-mehfil magar
Ro ke bhi hansna pade aisee ajab haalat na do...

Nazr-e-shaayeri-e-Hindostaan

Ek koshish- a tribute to all of them beyond words, masters of words...

Toone badi ADA se hai BADR ko FARAZ diya
Mere khuda ne HASRAT-e-NIDA ko imtiyaaz diya.

FAIZ karke sabhi aan MEER-o-GHALIB-e-IQBAL,
QATEEL-e-INSHA ko bhi toone phir pur-alfaaz kiya

DAAG-e-DIL liye huye MAZROOH ki bhatkan thaami,
Fir ZAFAR deke LIYAQAT se use nawaaz diya

De diye chaak-JIGAR MOHSINo ko JOSH-o-KHUMAAR,
ZAUQ-e-Qalam ko phir ek WASEEM agaaz diya.

Ab talaq GULZAAR-e-SAAHIR-o-lafzaan mein kayi aye gaye,
Par haqiqat se ulajhta kyon na phir MAJAAZ diya...

Ehsaas tere hone ka -2

Mujhko pehle bhi tere khwaab ne rulaya hai,
Abr chhalka sa phir hai aaj mere takiye par,

Tera zikr na ho yeh 'khayaal' bhi hai mujhe
Zabt-e-jazbaat hai ek imtehaan shaam-o-seher,

Ehsaas tere hone ka daaman me bana rehta hai,
Aur ek too hai jise kuch khabar bhi nahi....

Ehsaas tere hone ka...

Itna na qareeb aao na dhao mujhpe sitam,
Tum jo paas aate ho main khud se door hua jata hoon.

Mera wajood hi mujhse ghair hone lagta hai,
Teri tapish se main madhosh hua jaata hoon.

Teri aahatein meri dhadkano mein bajti hain,
Main kya hoon aur kyon hoon bhool jaata hoon...

Khalish....

"Mere is dil ki khalish ko koyi kya samjhe,
Aap jo samjhe mujhe aawara to baja samjhe

Lagi thi dil ki lagi par kabhi wo na samjhe,
meri tadap ko bhi faqat mera gumaan samjhe

Kholkar Dil yeh kyon main dikhaaun sabko,
 Jisko aati ho mere ashkon ki zubaan samjhe

Ab 'khayaal ' hai ek yehi dua shaam-o -saher,
Na khaye hampe taras koyi na pareeshan samjhe...

Yeh baadal kab chhantenge....

"Sabr par baitha tha woh jamaal-e-khursheed
ki Yeh tanhaayi ki ghataa hai simat jayengi
Jitni hon barsa lena khushi ki kirnein,
Mere daaman se ab to dhoop bhi chhan jaati hai,
Mere chehre ke biyaban me ek saanjh dhali jaati hai
Yeh baadal kab chhantenge 'khayaal' karta hoon..
Apne aape se bas ab yeh sawaal karta hoon..
Ek muddat huyi hai jism yeh dhote dhote
Rooh ab azaad hona chahe hai,
Mujhe jaane do ab to bas yehi karaahe hai...
Ab jigar chaak hua jaata hai
Thak gaya hai woh use dam lene do...
Zindagi ki laash woh uthata hai...
Koyi apna sa hai woh..."

Meri chaahat ka asar.......

अब तो तमाशाई भी मेरी चाहत का असर देखेंगे 

मेरे दुश्मन मेरी निस्बत का जिगर देखेंगे

अपने इरादों के परों पे होके स्वर मैं जिधर जाऊँगा 

मुझको मालूम है सब लोग उधर देखेंगे 

ज़ब्त-ए-रफ़्तार फिर कुछ दे के अपने क़दमों को

सब्र देखेंगे और कुछ मेरा सफ़र देखेंगे
