Lamha Bhar Apna Hawaon Ko Bananay Waalay

Lamha Bhar Apna Hawaon Ko Bananay Waalay
Ab Na Aayein Ge Palat Kar Kubhi Jaanay Waalay

Kia Milay Ga Tujhe Bikhray Howay Khwaabon Ke Siwa ?
Ay Rait Pe Chaand Ki Tasveer Banaanay Waalay

Sab Ne Pehna Tha Baday Shoq Se Kaghaz Ka Libaas
Jis Qadar Loog Thay Baarish Mein Nahaanay Waalay

Mar Gaye Hum Tou Ye Qutbay Pe Likha Jaye Ga
So Gaye Aap Zamaanay Ko Jagaanay Waalay

Dar-o-Deewaar Pe Hasrat Si Barasti Hai “Qateel”
Jaanay Kis Dais Gaye Pyaar Nibhaanay Waalay ?

Tere mehndi lage hathon pe mera naam likha hai

Tere mehndi lage hathon pe mera naam likha hai,
Zara se lafzz main kitna paighaam likha hai,

Yeh teri shaan ke shayaa’n nahin lekin majboori,
Teri masti bhari ankhon ko mene jaam likha hai,

Main shayar hoon, magar agey na barh paya riwayat se,
Labon ko pankhrri*, zulfon ko mene shaam likha hai,

Mujhe maut aaye gi jab bhi tere pehluu main ayegi,
Tere gham ne bohat acha mera anjaam likha hai,

Meri qismat mein hai ik din griftaar-e-wafaa hona,
Mere chehre pe tere pyaar ka ilzaam likha hai,

Qateel ik khubsurat buut hai, main jis ka pujaari hoon,
Mere mazhab ke khaaney mein magar Islam likha hai.
