Dil se tera khayal na jaye to kya karun

Dil se tera khayal
"Dua-e-lafz-Shayari"

Dil se tira khayal na jaye to kya karun
main kya karun koi na bataye to kya karun

umeed-e-dil-nashin sahi duniya hasin sahi
tere baghair kuch bhi na bhaye to kya karun

Dil ko khuda ki yaad tale bhi daba chuka 
Kam-bakht phir bhi chain na paae to  kya karun

Din ho ki raat ek mulaqat ki hai baat
itni si baat bhi na ban aae to kya karun

Jo kuch bana diya hai tire intizar ne!
ab sochta hu tu idhar aae to kya karun

dida-varan-but-kada is mashvara to do
kaaba jhalak yaha bhi dikhae to kya karun

apni nafi to falsafi-ji qatl-e-nafs hai
kahiye koi yeh jurm sujhae to kya karun

Ye haye haye mazhaka-angez hai to ho
dil se uthe zaban jalae to kya karun

main kya karun main kya karun garan ban gai
main kya karun koi na batae to kya karun

akhar se miri khabar-e-marg ai 'hafiz'
mera hi dost padh ke suney to kya karun

Dil Abhi Tak Jawaan Hai Pyare

Dil abhi tak jawan hai pyare
"Dua-e-lafz-Shayari"

Dil Abhi Tak Jawaan Hai Pyare
Kis Musibat Mein Jaan Hai Pyare

Tu Mere Hal Ka Khayal Na Kar
Is Mein Bhi Ek Shaan Hai Pyare

Raat Kam Hai Na Ched Hijr Ki Bat
Ye Badi Daastaan Hai Pyare

Talkh Kar Di Hai Zindagi Jis Ne
Kitni Meethi Zabaan Hai Pyare

waqt kam hai na ched hijar ki baat
yeh badi dastan hai pyare

Jaane Kya Kah Diya Tha Roz-E-Azal
Aaj Tak Imtihaan Hai Pyaare

ham hamin bande magar tere bande
yeh hamari bhi shaan hai pyare

kab kiya main ne ishq ka daava
tera apna guman hai pyareho na

Main Tujhe Be-Wafa Nahin Kahta
Dushmanon Ka Bayaan Hai Pyare

Saari Dunya Ko Hai Ghalat-Fahmi
Mujh Pe Tu Mehrabaan Hai Pyare

tere kuche mein hai sukhun warna
har zameen asmaan hai pyare

khair fariyad be-asar hi sahi
zindagi ka nishaan hai pyare

arz-e-matlab samajh ke hi na khafa
yeh to ek dastan hai pyare

Jang chid jaye ham agar kah den
yeh hamri zaban hai pyare
