"kaisee 'ajeeb soorat-e-haalaat ho gayee" :: (1)
har jeet zindagee ki miri maat ho gayee!

phir tez dil meiN shiddat-e-jazbaat ho gayee
phir dard-o-Gham hi haasil-e-sauGhaat ho gayee

aaNkhoN se sail-e-ashk jo TooTaa, to is qadar
baadal baGhair ab ke yeh barsaat ho gayee

dekhaa jo Khud ko Ghaur se, aisaa lagaa mujhe
goyaa kih dil pe yoorish-e-aafaat ho gayee

saazish thi meri zeest ki shaayad mere Khilaaf
har ranj kaa nishaana miree zaat ho gayee

kyaa kyaa qayaamateN theeN jo dil par guzar gayeeN
un se jab aik roz mulaaqaat ho gayee

maine liyaa thaa bhool se rasm-e-vafaa kaa naam
shehr-e-jafaa meiN kitni baRee baat ho gayee!

yak.laKht mujh pe khul gaye asraar-e-zindagee
aur ibitidaa-e-daur-e-tilismaat ho gayee

kab tak yahee fasaana sunaate rahoge tum?
'naadaaN' uTho, kih ab to bohot raat ho gayee

tuhmat-o-ilzaam bhee hai, kulfat-o-aalaam bhee

be.qaraari har qadam par, be.basi har gaam bhee

is se baRh kar aur kyaa hogaa muhabbat kaa suboot?
dil meiN us kee yaad bhee hai, lab par us kaa naam bhee

aarzoo, hasrat, tamanna, aas, Khwaahish aur umeed!
chhoR deN yaaraan-e-manzil, ab Khayaal-e-Khaam bhee!

le usee kaa naam Ghaafil, kar usee ki justjoo!

jab uThaaya maine aaNkhoN se hijaab-e-Khudsaree
tab huaa aazaad-e-zulmat.Khaana`e-auhaam bhee

kaun ab suntaa hikaayat ranj-o-Gham kee, dosto?
yooN to 'naadaaN' shehr meiN kehne ko hai badnaam bhee!

"betaab hai dil dard-e-muhabbat ke asar se" (1)
duniyaa ke sitam aur zamaane ki nazar se

dil jabr-e-masheeyat ki shikaayat to kare hai
lekin hai 'ilaaj is ka `agar` se, na `magar` se

har moR pe duniya meiN faqat ranj hi kyoN hai?
poochhe to koi is ka sabab ahl-e-hunar se!

yeh dil hai tiraa, jism tiraa, jaaN bhi hai teree
jaaooN to kahaaN jaaooN maiN uTh kar tire dar se?

ik baar to mujh par bhi paReN teri nigaaheN!
ik baar to rehmat ki ghaTaa TooT ke barse!

go chup hai zabaaN, dil mira pathhar to naheeN hai
har dard numaayaaN hai miraa deeda`e-tar se

ik 'umr se hooN maiN bhi talabgaar-e-masarrat
ai dil, jo use laaooN to laaooN maiN kidhar se?

yeh dasht-e-junooN aur yeh raatoN ki siyaahi!
kyaa jaaniye kyaa soch ke niklaa tha maiN ghar se!

ai kaash, k. mil jaaye kaheeN manzil-e-maqsood
jee bhar gayaa 'naadaaN' miraa is raahguzar se

kaarzaar-e-junooN meiN aaya hooN
hosh ko kab ka maiN bhulaaya hooN

zindagi pur.kashish to hai, lekin
zindagi se fareb khaaya hooN

voh faqat ik Khayaal-e-GHaib naheeN
apne dil meiN use basaaya hooN

daulat-e-'ishq, pyaar ke tohfe
dekh kyaa tere dar pe laaya hooN!

log paiham savaal karte haiN --
tang kyoN zindagi se aaya hooN!

jab kabhi uski yaad aayee hai
aas kaa deep phir jalaaya hooN

uske aane ki ik KHabar sun kar
anjuman anjuman sajaayaa hooN

baaNT kar dil ki saari jaageereN
apni hasti ko Khud miTaaya hooN

kyaa 'ajab raasta hai irfaaN kaa!!
KHud ko kho kar hi KHud ko paaya hooN

yeh to dil kee zubaan hai, naadaaN
tum ko ab tak jo maiN sunaaya hooN

kyaa bataaooN kis qadar jeenaa miraa dushvaar thaa
zindagi ki raah par jab har qadam pur.Khaar thaa!

ibtidaa-e-'ishq meiN dil mustaqil sarshaar thaa
intihaa meiN jaane kyoN har shai se maiN bezaar thaa!

har qadam ashk-e-nadaamat, har nafas aah-o-bukaa

jab miraa koi shareek-e-Gham, na koi yaar thaa

is se andaazaa lagaayeN dil ke ujRe haal kaa
jo bayaabaaN ab hua hai, yeh kabhi gulzaar tha!

yooN pashemaaN ho ke 'naadaaN' kyaa milegaa - kuchch bataa!
tu ne un kaa dil dukhaaya, jinko tujhse pyaar thaa
