Poet in a lost city

  Ab mushkil mera pehle jaisa hona Ab mushkil mera roo ba roo khud se hona Ab mushkil mera aitbaar k raston par chalna Ab mushkil tera mujh mein wafa ka ayeena dhoondna Main sangdil ya mein khud ka khud hi qatil Maaf ho meri sabhi gustakhiyan Ya phir saza mein meri kahani na ho Ab mushkil sach or jhoot mein kahani ko batana Rishton ko chupana khud ko mitana ya main jo nahi hoon wo ban k batana Bataun main kya tumhein dil ke lafzon se main jo likh raha sach ki tehreer likhun or utha doon sab parde or jismo ko mita do or zakhmi rooh o ko dikhaun Mein likhun zindagi aur tumhey tum se milaun Main shab mein besabab jesa teri lataluki Aja kbhi baat to kar koun ghalat koun sahi Ye elaan to kar Chaar diwari mein bhi reh kar hum zamane ko zamane se likh rahay Hum saray tano ko tamashun main badal rahay Hum khud hi se khud ki mulaqat kar rahay Jese shaaraab ko sharaabio se tol rahay Afsano mein likhu kya jab zindagani ki kitab he khaali Wo mujh se poch rahay pata mera Jinhey khud hi nhi pata...

  Dil betab mein umeedian bohat hain  Tere jane ke baad se ranjishein bohat hain Mein khafa khud se, ya khafa mujhse ye jahaan sara hai Sab falsafay beyan bhi kar dun to kyun kum mayar tera hai  Maaf ho meri baad dua wo is qadar jo ghabra rahay hain  Mein k guman mein berbaad sab rahay kardi  Ab mei jese koe besaki jis ko sab azma rahay hain  Khali raaton mein kyun teri batain sata rahi hain  Hum ansuon se dil dho rahe hain  Kuch to bo rahay hain ya tujh mein kahin so rahay hain  Hum kahaaniyan nahi likh rahe bus koray kagaz jala k chor rahay hain  Jo kabhi pori ho na sakay wo dua k sawal kar rahay hain  Hum tanhaiyon mein teri tasveer ko jala rahe hain ya khud mein tujh ko dafna rahay hain  Dil to kabhi tha hi nhi hum shuru se tujhe rooh mein basa rahay hain  Hum goonjtay sanaton mei saanso ko mehka rahai hain....  Hum de chukay tammam umer tum ek pal bhi na rokay  Meri saadgi teri bedili mein khud se gilla karu...
