Safar Men Dhoop To Hogi

Safar Men Dhoop To Hogi Jo Chal Sako To Chalo
Sabhi Hain Bheed Men Tum Bhi Nikal Sako To Chalo

Idhar Udhar Kai Manzil Hain Chal Sako To Chalo
Bane Banaaye Hain Saanche Jo Dhal Sako To Chalo

Kisi Ke Vaasate Raahen Kahaan Badalati Hain
Tum Apne Aap Ko Khud Hi Badal Sako To Chalo

Yahaan Kisi Ko Koi Raastaa Nahin Deta
Mujhe Giraake Agar Tum Sambhal Sako To Chalo

Yahi Hai Zindagi Kuchh Khwaab Chand Ummeeden
Inheen Khilaunon Se Tum Bhi Bahal Sako To Chalo

Har Ik Safar Ko Hai Mahfooz Raaston Ki Talaash
Hifaazaton Ki Riwaayat Badal Sako To Chalo

Kaheen Naheen Koi Sooraj, Dhuaan Dhuaan Hai Fiza
Khud Apne Aap Se Baahar Nikal Sako To Chalo 

safar mein dhoop
Chaand Se Phool Se Yaa Meri Zubaan Se Suniye

Chaand Se Phool Se Yaa Meri Zubaan Se Suniye
Har Taraf Aap Kaa Qisaa Jahaan Se Suniye

Sab Ko Aataa Hai Duniya Ko Sataa Kar Jina
Zindagi Kya Muhabbat Ki Duaa Se Suniye

Meri Aawaaz Parda Mere Chehre Ka
Main Hoon Khaamosh Jahaan Mujhako Wahaan Se Suniye

Kya Zaroori Hai Ki Har Parda Uthaayaa Jaaye
Mere Haalaat Apne Apne Makaan Se Suniye
Dekha Hua Sa Kuchh Hai To Socha Hua Sa Kuchh
Har Waqt Mere Saath Hai Uljha Hua Sa Kuchh

Hota Hai Yoon Bhi Raasta Khulta Nahin Kahin
Jangal Sa Phail Jaata Hai Khoya Hua Sa Kuchh

Saahil Ki Geeli Ret Pe Bachchon Ke Khel Saa
Har Lamha Mujh Men Banta Bikharta Hua Sa Kuchh

Fursat Ne Aaj Ghar Ko Sajaaya Kuchh Is Tarah
Har Shay Se Muskuraata Hai Rota Hua Sa Kuchh

Dhundhli Si Ek Yaad,  Kisi Qabr Ka Diyaa
Aur Mere Aas Paas Chamkata Hua Sa Kuchh 

chand se phool
Jab Kisi Se Koi Gilaa Rakhna

Jab Kisi Se Koi Gilaa Rakhna
Saamne Apne Aainaa Rakhna

Yoon Ujaalon Se Vaasta Rakhna
Shamma Ke Paas Hi Hawa Rakhna

Ghar Ki Taameer Chaahe Jaisi Ho
Is Men Rone Ki Jagah Rakhna

Masjiden Hain Namaaziyon Ke Liye
Apne Ghar Men Kahin Khudaa Rakhna

Milna Julna Jahaan Zaroori Ho
Milne-Julne Ka Hauslaa Rakhna

jab kisi se koi gila
Apna Gham Leke Kahin

Apna Gham Leke Kahin Aur Na Jaayaa Jaaye
Ghar Men Bikhri Hui Cheezon Ko Sajaayaa Jaaye

Jin Chiraaghon Ko Havaaon Kaa Koi Khauf Nahin
Un Chiraaghon Ko Havaaon Se Bachaayaa Jaaye

Baagh Men Jaane Ke Aadaab Huaa Karate Hain
Kisi Titli Ko Na Phoolon Se Udaayaa Jaaye

Khud-Kushi Karne Ki Himmat Nahin Hoti Sab Men
Aur Kuchh Din Yoon Hi Auron Ko Sataayaa Jaaye

Ghar Se Masjid Hai Bahut Door Chalo Yoon Kar Len
Kisi Rote Hue Bachche Ko Hansaaya Jaaye

apna gham leke kahin
