Chor gaya

Maskan-e-maah o saal chhoR gaya

Dil ko uss ka khayaal chhoR gaya

Taaza dam jism o jaaN thay furqat meiN

Wasl , uss ka nidhaal chhoR gaya

Ahd-e-maazi jo tha ajab pur haal

Aik weeraan haal chhoR gaya

Zaala baari k marhaloN ka safar

Qaaflay, paayemaal chhoR gaya

Dil ko ab yeh bhi yaad ho k na ho

Kaun tha , kia malaal chhoR gaya

MaiN bhi ab khud se huN jawaab talab

Wo mujhey , bay sawaal chhoR gaya

Gaahe gaahe bas ab yahi ho kya

Gaahe gaahe bas ab yahi ho kya?

Tumse mil kar bahut khushi ho kya?

Mil rahi ho bare tapaak ke saath,

Mujhko yeksar bhula chuki ho kya?

Yaad hain ab bhi apne khaab tumheN?

Mujhse mil kar udaas bhi ho kya?

Bas mujhe yun hi ik khayal aaya,

Sochti ho to sochti ho kya?

Ab meri koi zindagi hi nahin,

Ab bhi tum meri zindagi ho kya?

Kya kaha, ishq jaawidaani hai?

Aakhri baar mil rahi ho kya?

Haan, faza yaan’ ki soyi soyi si hai

To bahut taiz roshni ho kya?

Mere sab tanz be-asar hi rahe,

Tum bohat door ja chuki ho kya?

Dil mein ab soz-e-intezar nahin,

Shamm-e ummeed bujh gayi ho kya?

Is samandar pe tashna kaam huN maiN,

‘Baan’ tum ab bhi beh rahi ho kya

Ab JunuN kab kisi ke bus meiN hai

Ab JunuN kab kisi ke bus meiN hai

Uski khushboo nafas-nafas meiN hai

Haal us Said ka,  sunaaiye kya!

Jis ka saiyyad khud qafas meiN hai

Kya hai gar zindagi ka bus na chala

Zindagi kab kisi ke bus meiN hai?

Ghair se rahiyo tu zara hushiyaar

Woh tere jism ki hawas meiN hai!

Paa-shikastaa paRa hua huN magar

Dil kisi naGhma-e-jaras meiN hai

‘Joan’ hum sab ki dastaras meiN haiN

Woh bhala kis ki dastaras meiN hai
