aa’raf

kahin dur hansti hui barf ki pattiyan

aadam

phir kisi peD ne chup-chap bulaya hai mujhe

aafaq

ufuq se ta-ba-ufuq

aafaqiyat

parinde kaisi kaisi bastiyon se uD ke aate hain

aaina

usne socha ki fasana gul ka

aaj aur kal

jaise aaghosh-e-mohabbat mein humakti hui nannhi bachchi

aaj ke shair ke nam

kya paoge sachchi baaten bol ke tum

aaKHir-e-fan

gili kachchi chikni miTTi

aaKHiri bar

hum jo yun phir rahe hain ghabrae

aane wale din

aane wale dinon ki hararat ko mahsus karte hue

aashob-e-agahi

ek ghanere shajar ke sae mein

aazadi

sarhaden nahin thin jab pahle ke zamanon mein

ab ke kuchh aise milen

kar chuke jang bahut aao ye jurat bhi karen

abr

kal the jis shaKH par ghazal-KHwan hum

adhure safar mein sukh ka sans

aur hum sochte the

ai wali-o-rabb-e-kaun-o-makan

Dub gai KHamoshi mein maghrib ki azan

aKHtar-e-larzan

mera pindar-e-nazar TuT gaya

andesha

hath mein biti baat ki larzish

antar manthan

devtaon ne samundar ko matha

apna izhaar

kise KHabar thi ki maut ke baad

athena

koi devi

baalidgi

subh-dam

bahnen

meri bahnen mujhe be-intiha mahbub hain maula

baunon ke darmiyan

kis qadar bekar si baaton mein uljhe hain sabhi

ba-yaad-e-ghaalib

kaghazi pairahan-e-‘ishq wo ejaz-nawa

bebasi

KHuda se aql na milti to kya paDi thi mujhe

be-nishan

han ye sach hai tere nagar mein jahan

bewafa

kaun aawara hai

bhunchaal

kurra-e-arz ki manind hai insan ka wujud

bisat

tu jhuk bhi gai to kya hoga

bistar mein

sham ke khane ke baad

bulandi

bagule ki manind

buzdil

ye subh-o-sham dariya ke kinare baiThne wale

chalo usko DhunDen

abhi waqt hai jagne ka

chamakta lamha

tu lamhe ki zad se kahan bach sakega

chand lamhe chand sadiyan

mulaqat ke chand lamhe

chap

yahan ab se kuchh der pahle

chhoTu bhi gaya school

chhoTu jaega school ab

chil

kamre ki iklauti aankh se bahar jhanko

circus ka ghoDa

saped aur bhura badan ka chharera

dalil ki haibat

din bhar ka thaka hua tha suraj

darwaze ke pichhe

kal ki baat hai

dasht-nawardi ka rishta

phir chalte chalte chhaale kuchh to phuT bahe

dastan-go

idhar aao main tumko uski kahani sunata hun

dhuan

phir usi rah se guzra hun jahan

dil dushman

‘aqilon ne farmaya

dil ki diwar par phailti KHamoshi

dil ki diwar par phailti KHamushi ke siwa kuchh nahin

dil sard hua

dil sard hua

diwar

tumhaare mere darmiyan

ehtiraaz

aaj ki raat ke daman mein hain kya kya jadu
