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
