kya bemurawwat kalq hai sab jama hain bismil ke paas
tanha mera qaatil raha koyi nahin qaatil ke paas

jinake honthon pe hansi paanv mein chhaale honge
haan wohi log tumhein dhuundhane waale honge

haan wohi log tujhe chaahane waale honge
andaaz apane dekhate hain aayine mein wo
aur ye bhi dekhate hain koyi dekhata na ho

may barasati hai fazaaon pe nasha taari hai
mere saaqi ne kahin jaam uchhaale honge

unase mafahuum-e-gam-e-zist ada ho shaayad
ashq jo daaman-e-mijagaan ne sambhaale honge

shamma le aaye hain ham jalwaagah-e-jaanaan se
ab do aalam mein ujaale hi ujaale honge

ham bade naaz se aaye the teri mahafil mein
kya kabar thi lab-e-izahaar pr taale honge

Apni soyee hui dunia ko jagaa loon to chaloon

Apne ghamkhane mein ek dhoom macha loon to chaloon

Aur ek jaam-e-mai talkh chadha loon to chaloon

Abhi chalta hoon, zara khud ko sambhaloon to chaloon

Meri aankhon mein abhi tak hai muhabbat ka ghuroor

Mere honton ko abhi tak hai sadaqat ka ghuroor

Mere maathe pe abhi tak hai sharaafat ka ghuroor

Aise wahmon se abhi khud ko nikaloon to chaloon

The Learning:

Ishq ke phool bhi khilte hain, bikhar jaate hain

zakhm kaise bhi hon, kuch roze main bhar jaate hain

Us khwabon main ab koi nahi aur hum bhi nahi

Itne roze se aaye hain, chup chaap guzar jaate hain

Nurm aawaaz, bholi baatain, mohazzab lehjaa

Pehli baarish main hi, sab rang utar jaate hain

Raasta roke khari hai, wahi uljhan kab se

Koi puche to kahen kya ke kidhar jaate hain

Just For You

aa.Nsuu mere tham jaaye.n to phir shauq ke jaanaa


aise me.n kahaa.N jaaoge barasaat bahuut hai

On Obsession:

Tu kahin bhi rahe sar pe tere ilzaam to hai

tere haathon ki lakiiron mein mera naam to hai .......

Mujhko tu apnaa bana ya na bana teri Khushi

tu zamaane mein mere naam se badnaam to hai .....

Mere hisse mein koi jaam na aayaa na sahi

teri mehfil mein mere naam koi shaam to hai ....

Dekh kar log mujhe naam tera lete hain
is pe main Khush hoon muhabbat ka ye anjaam to hai .....

Woh sitamagar hi sahi dekh ke usko 'Sabir'
shukr is dil-e-bimaar ko aaraam to hai ...

My Favourite Gazal:

Some Of My Favourite One Liners In Urdu:

Main Akela hi chala tha janibe manzil magar..
Log Saath aate Gaye aur Karwaan Banta gaya!

Nawak unhe darkar na Khanjar ki Zaroorat..
Qatil se bhi badhke hain Qatil ki adayen!



Wo lutf hi nahi ab, wo baat hi nahin ab..
Ya main gaya hoon ya tum badal gaye ho!



Tumhe ghairo se kab fursat, Hum apne ghum se kab khali..
Chalo bas ho chuka milna na hum khali na tum khali!



Main to hoon aaj bhi wabista.N damane Khiza.N..
Log Kehten hain mere ghar mein bahar aayi hai!



Afsos dil ka hal koi poochta nahi.N..
Ye keh rahen hain Sab teri soorat badal gayi!



Hum Hi jab n honge to kya range mehfil..
Kise dekhkar aap sharmaiyega!



Uth Bandh Kamar Kyon Darta Hai..
Phir Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai..





Yeh aarjzu.N thi tujhe gulke rubaru.N Karte..
Hum aur BulBul guftagu.N karte! ;)



Tu kahe to Chaand bhi le aa.ooN Zamin pe..
Jaan Ka kya bharosa jo hawale Kardoo.N



Seekh Duniya.N meain hi Zahid Hoor se milne ka Dhang..
Warna pachtayega ki Jannat mein ruswai hui!



Arrey o'nakhuda kya samajhte ho jawani ko?
Jawani josh mein aajai to tufaa.N ko ledoobe!



Peeloge to Shekh kuch gar'm rahoge..
Thanda hi naa Karde.N tumhe Jannat ki Hawaa.eN!



Bekhudi mein bhi nahi.N Bhoole use..
Wah! kya kehna humari yaad ka!



Agar marte huye lab pe tera naam na Aayega..
Toh Main Marne se Baaz aya, Mere kis kaam Ayega?



Haya se sir jhuka lena..Ada se muskura dena..
Haseeno.N Ko bhi kitna sahal hai, Bijle gira dena!



Hum nahi wo jo khun ka dawa karen tujh.par
Balki poochega khuda bhi to mukar jaye.Ge!!



Shama ne aag rakhee sar pe qasam khane ko,
Ya Khuda maine jalaya nahin parwane ko!!!



Tab Dekh Ke chhipte the, Ab chhip Ke dekhte hain
Wo Daur-E-Ladakpan tha, Ye Rang-E-Jawani hai!


Unke Rukhsaar Pe Behte Hue Aansoo.n Tauba.

No Not An Illusion..But Still You Are.

[ I tried to depict the great song by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan- Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho,
In English for the ease of those who don't understand Urdu I hope you like it]

I searched You here.. And everywhere.
Just To search You I reached No where.
We were destroyed.. We were ruined.
but Not a sign of You.. Just anywhere.

You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. You Still Are.

You are even in a speck of dust..But How?
If you are there..then where are you Now?

I searched for you on every door.
Are you Still there..or no more.?
I have seen You in me..deep deep inside.
I have seen you in a circle on its every side.

You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. You Still Are.

Never we have seen You.. You were never to be found
Then whats the mystery.. Are You out of bounds?
If you say You are ...where I am.
Then what are the rules, to this game??

You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. You Still Are.

If No one is present near You... And You are just yourself?
Then I don't understand why are You still hiding yourself?

You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. You Still Are.

I have seen those who have lost themselves in You.
They have at least for found something of You..
You were not found In the Mosque or a Temple though
But I have seen You smiling in a broken heart for sure.
You are the reason, I call for my for my existence.
If You don't exist then what's my Existence?
If I have not feltYou in my dreams...
Then how did I felt that You Are GOD?
(I am amazed on what you are..)
If I hold you..you are a stone.. I not then You Are GOD.

If I have understood what You are.. Then I know What are You?
But If I Know what you are.. Since I have understood So You can't be GOD..Are You?

If I debate.. I know I would still not find You.
The solution to this Puzzle.. Is not that I find You.

You Don't hide.. But Still you don't unveil Yourself
You give your Signs.. But you don't show Yourself
You don't solve the war and bring peace to world
You don't tell the complete truth to the world
I am amazed that how You live in this small heart without curse.
Even though we know You can't fit in this whole big Universe
WhyYou have created so much confusion about Yourself.
I know You don't want us to know nothing about Yourself.

You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. You Still Are.

On this heart You have put in a different shade
Its just like a random line, a picture, what's been made.
I don't understand what's the puzzle..to find whats it's about.
Where We can find an answer is it North or it is South??
To write our own destiny, You have given that power.
Yet You have caged us in the Fate of the Hour.
Why have You made this world with such passion
As You have planned to destroy this on one occasion.
You have promised us heaven and to some even Hell
But to ask the truth what You have kept in mind , You'll never tell.
For the misstep of Adam You have punished his whole race
What justice is this we are unsure of.. What is its base??
You have made the man... the King of the world
but still the rule remains of Yours..You every word.
You made everyone so that You can be identified
But still You have hidden yourself from everyone inside.

Some time You turn a grime into a solitaire.
and if You turn solitaire into dust?.. So very Unfair.
The one who had given life to so many mortals
The reward You gave him was calcification.
First You let Kahaleel to be thrown into the fire by Nimrod
Then You turn the fire into flowery.. beautification?
First You let Joseph to be sold in the market of Egypt
And thenYou only made him the keeper of.. Egypt?
Some of us have lost themselves just to find You.
And Its You, who has made us so inquisitive
To find You.. if any Qais decides
You have made him the Majnu of Laila's Eyes.
If Mahiwal is disired by Sohni ever..
You drown her in the Chenab river.

You are there..where You always are.
We might not know but where You are.
You Are Not there.. But Still You are.
No Not An Illusion.. But You Still Are.
