Aarzuu hai wafaa kare koi
Aarzuu hai wafaa kare koi,
Jee na chaahe to kya kare koi,
Gr maraz ho davaa kare koi,
Marne wale ka kya kare koi,
Kosstay hain jale huye kya kya,
apne haq main duaa kare koi,
Un se sab apni apni kehte hian,
Mera matlab adaa kare koi,
Chaah se aap ko to nafrat hai,
Mujh ko chaahe khuda kare koi,
Iss gile ko gila nahin kehte,
Gar maze ka gila kare koi,
Yeh mili daad ranj-e-furqat ki,
Aur dil kaa kahaa kare koi,
Tum saraapa ho suurat-e-tasveer,
Tum se phir baat kya kare koi,
Kehte hain hum nahin khudaa-e-kareem,
Kyun hamari khataa kare koi,
Jis mei laakhon baras ki huuren hon,
Aisi jannat ko kya kare koi,
Is jafaa pr tumhe tamanna hai,
Ke meri iltijaa kare koi,
Muun lagaate hi Daagh itraaya,
Lutf hai phir jafaa kare koi..
Ajab apna haal hota jo visaal-e-yaar hota
Ajab apna haal hota jo visaal-e-yaar hota,
Kabhi jaan sadqe hoti kabhi dil nisaar hota,
Koi fitnaa ya qayamat na phir aashkaar hota,
Tere dil pe zaalim kaash mujhe ikhtyaar hota,
Jo tumhari tarah tum se koi jhootey vaadey karta,
Tumhi mujsfi se keh do tumhe eitbaar hota?
Yeh maza tha dillagi ka ke baraabar agg lagti,
Na tujhe qaraar hota na mujhe qaraar hota,
Yeh maza hai dushmani mein na hai lutf-e-dosti mein,
Koi ghair ghair hota koi yaar yaar hota,
Tere vaadey per sitamgar abhi aur eitbar karte,
Agar apni zindagi per humain eitbaar hota,
Yeh woh dard-e-dil nahin hai ke ho charasaaz koi,
Agar aik baar milta to hazaar baar hota...
Aap ka aitbar kon kare
Aap ka aitbar kon kare,
Roz ka intizar kon kare,
Zikr-e-mehr-o-wafaa to ham karte,
Ho jo us chashm-e-mast se be'khud,
Phir uset hoshiyaar kon kare,
Tum to ho jaan ik zamaney ki,
Jaan tum per nisaar kon kare,
Aafat-e-rzgaar jab tum ho,
Shkiva-e-rozgaar kon kare,
Apni tasbeeh rehne de zahid,
Daana daana shumaar kon kare,
Aank hai tark-e-zulf hai shayed,
Dekhen dil ka shikaar kon kare,
Vaada karte nahin yeh kehtey hain,
Tujh ko umeed'vaar kon kare,
Daagh ki shakal dekh kar boley,
Aesi shakal ko pyaar kon kare..
Rahe ga ishq tera khaak mein mila ke mujhe,
Ke ibtidaa mein huye ranj intihaa ke mujhe,
Diye hain hijar mein dukh dard kis balaa ke mujhe,
Shab-e-firaaq ne maara litaa litaa ke mujhe,
Baghair maut ke kis tarah koi marta hai,
Mera raqeeb bhi roya galey laga ke mujhe,
Har ik shakhss ko haasil judaa hai kefiyat,
Jafaa ke lutf tujhe hain, mazey wafaa ke,
Ghazab ki aah meri, Daagh naam hai mera,
Tamaam sheher jalaao ge kya jalaa ke mujhe..
Rahe ga ishq tera khaak mein mila ke mujhe
Ranj Ki Jab Guftaguu Honay Lagi
Ranj Ki Jab Guftaguu Honay Lagi
Aap Se Tum Tum Se TU Honay Lagi
Chahye Paighambar Dono Taraf
Lutf Kia Jab Du-Ba-Du Honay Lagi
Meri Ruswayi Ki Naubat Aagayi
Unki Shohrat Qu-Ba-Qu Honay Lagi
Bay Niazi Badh Gayi Hai Is Qadar
Aarzoo Ki Aarzoo Honay Lagi
Ab Tou Mil Kar Dekhye Kya Rang Ho
Phir Hamari Justajuu Honay Lagi
“Daagh” Itraaye Howay Phirtay Hain Aaj
Shaayad Unki Aabruu Honay Lagi
Rasm-e-Ulfat Sikha Gaya Koi
Rasm-e-Ulfat Sikha Gaya Koi
Dil Ki Duniya Pe Chhaa Gaya Koi
​
Ta Qayaamat Kisi Tarah Na Bujhay
Aag Aisi Laga Gaya Koi
​
Dil Ki Duniya Ujri Si Kyun Hai ?
Kia Yahan Se Chala Gaya Koi
​
Waqt-e-Rukhsat Galay Laga Kar “Daagh”
Hanste Hanste Rula Gaya Koi
Lutf Wo Ishq Mein Paaye Hain
Lutf Wo Ishq Mein Paaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Ranj Bhee Aisay Uthaaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Jo Zamaanay Ke Sitam Hain Wo Zamaana Jaanay
TU Ne Dil Itnay Sataaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Muskuraatay Howay Wo Majmaa-e-Agyaar Ke Saath
Aaj Yun Bazm Mein Aaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Kaaba-o-Dair Mein Pathra Gayeen Dono Aankhain
Aisay Jalway Nazar Aaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Dosti Mein Teri Dar-Pardah Hamaaray Dushman
Is Qadar Apne Paraaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Daagh-e-Waarafta Ko Ham Aaj Tere Koochay Se
Is Tarah Khainch Ke Laaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Tumhare khath main naya ek salam
Tumhare khath main naya ek salam kis ka tha
na tha raqeeb to akhir wo nam kis ka tha
Wo qatl kar ke har kisi se puchte hain
ye kaam kis ne kiya hai ye kaam kis ka tha
Wafa karenge nibhayenge baat manenge
tumhen bhi yaad hai kuch ye kalam kis ka tha
Raha na dil main wo be-dard aur dard raha
muqeem kaun hua hai maqam kis ka tha
Na pooch-paach thi kisi ki na aao-bhagat
tumhari bazm main kal ehtamam kis ka tha
Guzar gaya wo zamana kahen to kis se kahen
khayal mere dil ko subah-o-sham kis ka tha
Har ek se kahte hain kya “Daagh” bewafa nikla
ye puche in se koi wo ghulam kis ka tha
phir shab-e-gam ne mujhe shakl dikhai kyon kar
ye bala ghar se nikli hui ai kyon kar
tu ne ki gair se meri burai kyon kar
gar na thi dil main to lab par tere ai kyon kar
tum dilazar-o-sitamgar nahin main ne mana
man jayegi ise sari khudai kyon kar
aina dekh k vo kahne lage ap hi ap
aise achon ki kare koi burai kyon kar
kasrat-e-ranj-o-alam sun k ye ilzam mila
itne se dil main hai itnon ki samai kyon kar
dag kal tak to dua ap ki maqbul na thi
aj munh mangi murad ap ne pai kyon kar
phir shab-e-gam ne mujhe shakl dikhai kyon kar
Ab woh yeh keh rahe hain meri maan jaayiye
Ab woh yeh keh rahe hain meri maan jaayiye,
Allah teri shaan ke qurbaan jaayiye,
Bigrre huye mizaaj ko pehchaan jaayiye,
Seedhi tarah na maaniye ga maan jaayiye,
Kis ka hai khauf rokne waala hi kaun hai,
Har roz kyun na jayiye mehmaan jaayiye,
Mehfil mei kis ne aap ko dil mein chupaa liya,
Itnon mei kaun chor hai pehchaan jaayiye,
Hai tevarii mein ball to nigaahen phiri hui,
Jaate hain aise aaney se ausaan jaayiye,
Do mushkilen hain ek jataane mei shauq ke,
Pehle to jaan jaayiye phir maan jaayiye,
Insaan ko hai khaana-e-hasti mein lutf kya,
Mehmaan aaye to pashemaan jaayiye,
Go vaad-e-visaal ho jhuuta maza to hai,
Kyun kr na aise jhuut ke qurbaan jaayiye,
Reh jaaye baad vasl bhi chettap lagi hui,
Kuch rakhiye kuch nikaal ke armaan jaayiye,
Achii kahi ke ghair ke ghar tak zara chalo,
Main aap ka nahin huun nigehbaan jaayiye,
Aaye hain aap ghair ke ghar se kharre kharre,
Yeh aur ko jataayiye ehsaan kar jaayiye,
Dono se imtihaan-e-wafaa pr yeh keh diya,
Manwaaayiye raqeeb ko yaa maan jaayiye,
Kya bd.gumaaniyan hain unhe mujh ko hukm hai,
Ghar mei khuda ke bhi to naa mehmaan jaayiye,
Kya farz hai ke sab meri baaten qubool hain,
Sun sun ke kuch na maaniye kuch maan jaayiye,
Saudaaaayiyan-e-zulf mai kuch to lattak bhi ho,
Jannat mei jaayiye to pareshaan jaayiye,
Dil ko jo dekh lo to yehi pyaar se kaho,
Qurbaan jaayiye tere qurbaan jaayiye,
Jaane na doon ga aap ko be-faislaa huye,
Dil ke muqadme ko abhi chhaan jaayiye,
Yeh to bajaa ke aap ko duniya se kya gharazz,
Jaati hai jis ki jaan usse jaan jaayiye,
Ghusse mei haath se yeh nishaani na gir parre,
Daaman mei le ke mera garebaan jaayiye,
Yeh mukhtasir jawab milaa arz-e-vasl pr,
Dil maanta nahin ke teri maan jaayiye,
Woh aazmuuda-kaar to hai gr walli nahin,
Jo kuch bataayiye Daag ussey maan jaaayiye…
Tumhare Khat Main Naya Ek Salaam KisKa Tha
Tumhare Khat Main Naya Ek Salaam KisKa Tha
Tumhare Khat Mein Naya Ek Salaam KisKa Tha
Na Tha Raqueeb Toh Aakhir WOh Naam KisKa Tha
Raha Na Dil Mein Woh Bedard aur Dard Raha
Mukim Kon Hua Hai Makaam Kiska Tha
Wafa Karenge Nibhayenge Baat Maanege
Tumhe Bhi Yaad Kuch Ye Kalaam Kiska Tha
Woh Katl KarKe Har KisiSe Puchhate Hai
Yeh Kaam Kisane Kiya Yeh Kaam KisKa Tha
Humare Khat Ke Toh Purze Kiya Padha Bhi Nahi
Sun Jo Tumane Baa-dil Woh Payaam KisKa Tha
Guzar Gaya WOh Zamana Kahoo Toh KisSe Kahoo
Khyaal Dil Ko Mere Subah-O-Shaam KisKa Tha
Har Ek Se Kehate Hai Kya ‘Daag’ Bewafa Nikala
Ye Puchhe Inse Koi Woh Ghulam KisKa Tha
