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!!!
