Baharon mein rang o boo na rahi

Baharon mein ab rang o boo na rahi
Paaband inayaton ki aarzoo na rahi

Raaste besabri se pukaarte hain unke
Jin manzilon ki ab justajoo na rahi

Dil ki har dhadkan ko tees diya tha jisne
Gham e hasti mein wo khalish surkhroo na rahi

Saare but to devata ban baithe hain
Bas sangtarash hai jiski aabroo na rahi

Hori

Holi ke mauke par kuch alfaaz aaye :


Khelo more sang bhi Shyam hori,
kyun Radha ki satrangi aur
mori chunariya kori?

Jawab mein ek dost ne kaha:
 
Rahda ke dhadakan se bandhi
saavariyaa ki dori
un rangon men dooba khele
kaise auron sa holi?

Phir maine likha:

Chaliya ki hori jaaye mora dil kured,
Rukmini aur Radha main kahe kare hai bhed?

Yesno

No, not in the way you look at me
It's glances that stray away

And not in the words we share
It's in ones we don't say

The touches don't mean much
Feelings linger, so thick they fray

Smoke leaves your lips like desire
Wafts up, in the air and away

Rented once its never the same
Why are hearts made this way

Somethings can't ever be undone
Leaking love on a rainy day

Night is a revisit of day
More moments of false interplay

You sleep finally in a broken bed
And I wonder how we got this way

Hopeless

Hate come easy
Love be slow

Time comes long
runs to go

fall the clown
peace restore

the guilty hands
pure driven snow

afar justice yawns
here blow after blow

where mercy be
God only know

Ishara

Dosti nahin kum as kum mujhse bair kar
Koi to rasm e duniya tu bakhair kar

meri kismat likhi tere khwaabon ne
Doob gayi phir woh ashkon main tair kar

Sargam ki taal bhi, sharaab bhi, baahon ke jaal bhi,
Rangon ki kisi shay ko to gair kar

Muddat

Vehshat e dil kya bataaun tumko
Toote khwabon se aao sajaoon tumko

Bhool jaoon tanhaayi ki sadiyaan
Vasl ke lamhe pee loon pilaa doon tumko

Dil ke andhere abhi aankhon mein baaki hain
Chiraagon ko bujha loon phir nihaarun tumko

Saanson ki garmi yakeen dila rahi hai tum ho warna
Dil ke farebon mein kayee baar tha paaya tumko
