Tu Bhi Chup Hai Main Bhi Chup Hun Ye Kaisi Tanhaai Hai

Tu bhi chup hai main bhi chup hun ye kaisi tanhaai hai,

Tere saath teri yaad aai kya tu sach-much aai hai...

Shayad wo din pahla din tha palkein bojhal hone ka,

Mujh ko dekhte hi jab us ki angdaai sharmaai hai...

Us din pahli baar hua tha mujh ko rifaaqat ka ahsaas,

Jab us ke malbois ki khushbu ghar pahunchane aai hai...

Husn se arz-e-shauq na karna husn ko zak pahunchana hai,

Hum ne arz-e-shauq na kar ke husn ko zak pahunchaai hai...

Hum ko aur to kuchh nahin soojha albatta us ke dil mein,

Soz-e-raqaabat paida kar ke us ki neend udaai hai...

Hum dono'n mil kar bhi dilo'n ki tanhaai mein bhatkenge,

Paagal kuchh to soch ye tu ne kaisi shakl banaai hai...

Ishq-e-pechaa'n ki sandal par jaane kis din bel chadhe,

Kyaari mein paani thehra hai deewaro'n par kaai hai...

Husn ke jaane kitne chehre husn ke jaane kitne naam,

Ishq ka pesha husn-parasti ishq bada harjaai hai...

Aaj bahut din baad main apne kamre tak aa nikla tha,

Joo'n hi darwaza khola hai us ki khushbu aai hai...

Ek to itna habs hai phir main saansein roke baitha hun,

Veerani ne jhaadu de ke ghar mein dhoil udaai hai.!!
