Yun tere jaane ke baad ye dil jaisa dhadka hi nahi
Bhaut bezaar rehta hoon, bhaut tanha gaya hoon
tu hi woh akhiri shaqs tha 
Jo mujhe mukammal jaanta tha, tere baad jo bhi mila
Usko main khoya khoya aur adhura mila 
Sawaal ab bhi hotein hain tere naam ke
Ab bhi jawab nahi hain mere paas
Halaat ye hain ke har mausam se tang aa chuka hoon main
Baarish mein bhi ab bahar nikalne ka man nahi karta
Chaaye bhi peeta hoon toh ek udaasi odh leti hai mujhe
Zaban bhi jalti hai agar - toh rukta nahi main 
Jaane kitne hi khat tujhe likh kar jala diye
Kitni nazmo mein tera zikr kar bhula dia 
Kitni cheezein kamre ki tod kar - jod chuka hoon
Har ek cheez jo mujhe teri yaad dilaati hai -
mujhe har ek us cheez se wehshat si hai
Woh kya hai ke ab - aadat si hai 
Cigarrette jala kar tujhe bhulane ki nakaam koshishein karna
Ab aadat si hai 
Panno par padi aansuon ki numi par phoonk maarne ki aadat si hai 
Adat si hai

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

Beqarari mein jo tujhe choo leta hoon main
Aisa kon sa gunaah kar deta   hoon main

khalwat e intizaar mein shab o roz 
khudko mahv e dua kiya hua hoon main

muzhda tere aane ki koee roz mile
bade tajjasus se namabar ko takta hun main

pinjra khula toh sab parinde ud gaye
qaid rehna chahta hoon, kon hoon main

mai-kade mein agyaar hi agyaar hain aur
saaqi ko sabka hamdard dekhta hun main

zabt nahi hota, jo uth'ti hai ishq mein tavaqqo
har shab khudko naya uzr deta hun main

tere kuuche mein meri lahad kyun na ho
wahan se niklte hi mar gaya hun main

naambar ko janu woh mera raqeeb ho chala
Pata hai, ab khat nahi likhta hun main

nadaamat kyun na ho ulfat mein arshad
ke aastaan-e-yar chod chuka hoon main
