Hangama-e-Gam se tang aakar izhaar-e-musarrat kar baithe
mashhoor thi apni zindaadili, daanistaa sharaarat kar baithe

koshish to bahot ki hamane magar, paayaa na Gam-e-hasti ka mafar
viraani-e-dil jab had se badhii, ghabaraa ke mohabbat kar baithe


nazaro se na karate pursish-e-Gam, Khaamosh hi rahna behtar tha
diwaano ko tumane chhed diyaa wallaah qayaamat kar baithe


har cheez nahi ek markaz par, ek roz idhar ik roz udhar
nafrat se na dekho dushman ko, shayad ye mohabbat kar baithe


Akhtar

Talaash kar

Meri taqdeer say pooch meri kismat ka faisla
Meri muskurahat pe na ja mera dard talaash kar
Ankhon say pooch mere intezaar ki had
Itminan pe na ja mere sabr ko talaash kar
Mere doston say pooch meri dosti ka alam
Surat pe na ja meri seerat talaash kar.

Wafaa Nahi Hoti

Dost To Bahut Hain Magar Wafaa Nahi Hoti
Har Gire Hue Ghoonghat Mei Hayaa Nahi Hoti.

Apni Ana Ko Har Cheez Pe Qurban Kar Dete Hain
Magar Dosti Se Piyari koi Anaa Nahi Hoti.

Us Ke Har Sitam Ko Hans Ke Seh Lete Hain
Jo Dost Sitam De Woh Sazaa Nahi Hoti.

Har Dard Ka Elaaj Maujud Hai Is Duniya Mei
Lekin Jo Dost Zakhm De Uski Dawaa Nahi Hoti.

Dil Aur Aayene Mei Faraq Sirf Itna Sa Hai
Jab Dil Toot ta hai To Us Ki Sadaa Nahi Hoti.

Mahtab Bure Se Bhi Bad Tar Hai Wo Insaan
Jis Mei Apne Doston Ke Liye Wafaa Nahi Hoti.

Misaal Kar Daala

Mohabbaton Ne Kaisa Kamaal Kar Daala
Humain To Udasiyon Ki Misaal Kar Daala.

Kabhi Milein To Poochhein Ge Ek Dooje Se
Ke Kis Ko Kis Ke Gam Ne Nidhaal Kar Daala.

Tu Bata Us Se Kiya Kahoon Ga Main
Meri Udasi Pe Jo Kisi Ne Sawaal Kar Daala.

Suna Tha Zindagi Ka Safar Mushkil Hai
Humne Karke Mohabbat Aur Bhi Mahaal Kar Daala.

Kuchh To Hum Bhi Moam Ke The Aur Kuch
Tumne Bhi Zindagi Ko Shoulon Ki Shaal Kar Daala.

Raha Hai Koi

Bahut Qareeb Aa Kar Door Ja Raha Hai Koi
Dosti Ka Haath Mila Kar Door Ja Rha Hai Koi.

Char Din Ki Zindagi Hai Phir Wapas Jana Hai
Phir Kyun Mujh Ko Behad Sata Raha Hai Koi

Mere Hisse Ki Zindagi Bhi Us Ke Naam Kar De
Baargah-E-Elahi Mei Haath Utha Raha Hai Koi.

Zindagi Bhar Kabi Bhi Hum Judaa Na Hon Ge
Wo Waade,Wo Qasmein Bhula Raha Hai Koi.

Wo Haath Jin Se Hameesha Duaein Mangein Thein
Aaj Unhein Haathon Se Mayyat Saja Raha Hai Koi.

Mahtab Alam (Mushk)

wo bhi nahi main bhi nahi

Larzishon ko manta wo bhi nahi main bhi nahi
Dono insan hain khuda wo bhi nahi main bhi nahi.
Wo mujhe aur main use ilzaam deta hoon
Khud apne andar jhankta wo bhi nahi main bhi nahi.

Mahtab Alam (Mushk)

Mujhe Bas Itna Samjhao

kabhi Tum Laut Ke Aao Mujhe Bas Itna Samjhao
Kahan Se Seekh Li Tum Ne Ada Mujh Ko Bhulane Ki
Tumhe Mujh Se Shikwa Tha Ya Koi Bhi Shikayat Thi
Zehmat To Zara Si Thi Na Ki Koshish Bataane Ki
Bhala Yun Chhor Ke Apna Koi Apnon Ko Jaata Hai
Musalsal Dukh Ki Barish Mei Jeewan Bhar Rulata Hai
Abhi To Rait Geeli Hai Abhi Sab Naqsh Baqi Hain
Gaye Qadmon Pe Laut Aao Mujhe Bus Itna Samjhao.

Jiya Karta Hai

Ye Na Socho Ke Faqat Naam Liya Karta Hai
Aik Deewana Teri Aahat Mei Jiya Karta Hai.

Wo Janta Hai Ke Tu Us Ke Muqaddar Mei Nahi
Phir Bhi Har Roz Tujhe Yaad Kiya Karta Hai.

Kuch Nahi Mangta Rab Se Kabhi Apne Liye
Teri Khushiyon Ki Dua Mang Liya Karta Hai.

Raat Ko Yaad Mei Teri Jo Tarapta Hai Dil
Chand Se Ja Ke Teri Baat Kiya Karta Hai.

Kuch Nahi Chahta Tum Se Apni Chahat Ka Sila
Ye Deewana To Faqat Pyar Kiya Karta Hai.
