Main Samt-E-Yaar Par Nikla

main samt-e-yaar par nikla,shehar chod kar apna
ghar veeran kar apna, aaraam chod kar apna

tere shehar mein hawa na’shaad chalti hai
main kis jagah thehrun, gham bhula kar apna

shayad tu mujhe samne dekh kar, paas ajaye
kya tere ghar ke aage makaan bana lun apna 

jama masjid main khada hua tha, ke aazan hui 
koee keh raha tha jaa dil halka kar le apna

ghalib ki galiyaan, nizamuddin ki raunak, haye
kis munh se lauta hun, visaal chod kar apna 

azal se teri inaayat baahon ka ramz jaana 
ek aisa ramz hai, jo deewana kar le apna 

ab itne haadso’n ke baad kon sambhalta hai
tu tha toh jaise laga tha, ilaaj hoga apna 

saanehe dikhai dete hain the un chasmo mein 
un chasmon mein hijr ka khudka ghar tha apna 

vada-e-vasl tumhara tha, jo tum kabhi nahi aaye
yahan arzoo-e-vasl mein, marna mumkin hai apna

ye ek baat tanhayi mein aasani deti hai “arshad” 
kabhi jab koee nahi tha, toh khuda tha apna
