Jis Simt Bhi Dekhoon by Ahmed Faraz

Jis simt bhi dekhoon nazar aata hai ke tum ho
Ae jaan-e-jahaan ye koi tum saa hai ke tum ho

Yeh khwaab hai, khushboo hai, ke jhonka hai, ke pal hai
Yeh dhund hai, baadal hai, ke saayaa hai, ke tum ho ...

Is deed ki sahAat main kaiye rang hain larzaan
Mein hoon ke koi aur hai duniya hai ke tum ho

Dekho yeh kisi aur ki aankhain hain ke meri
Dekhoon yeh kisi aur ka chehra hai ke tum ho

Yeh umr-e-gurezaaN kahin tahre to yeh jaanoon
Har saans main mujh ko yeh lag ta hai ke tum ho

Har bazm main mauzoo-e-sukhan dil zadgaan ka
Ab kaun hai Shireen hai ke Laila hai ke tum ho

Ik dard ka phaila hua sahara hai ke mein hoon
Ik mauj main aaya hua dariya hai ke tum ho

Woh waqt na aaiye ke dil-e-zaar bhi sochai
Is shehar main tanha koi hum sa hai ke tum ho

Aabaad hum aashufta saron se nahin maqtal
Yeh rasm abhi shehar main zinda hai ke tum ho

Ae jaan-e-'Faraz' itni bhi taufeeq kise thi
Hum ko ghum-e-hasti bhi gawaara hai ke tum ho....!!!

Ek Bar Wapas Lautne Ka Man Karta Hai

Bas Ek Bar Wapas Lautne Ka Man Karta Hai ………
Har Wo Baat Yaad Aati Hai…….

Batein Jo Kal Ki Hi Batein Lagti Hain ……..
Baar Class Attend Karne Ka Man Karta Hai ……..
Ki Class Mein Aakhen Band Karne Ka Man Karta Hai……

Ke Time Pe Wo Hasi Mazak Bahut Pyari Lagti Hai ……..
Ki Bekar Lagne Wali Photo's Chehre Pe Hasi Laati Hai …….
Galtiyon Pe Tumse Daat Khana Yaad Aata Hai. ……..
Tumhari Galti Dekhne Ka Man Karta Hai……..
Tum Bahut Yaad Aate Ho…….

Ek Bar Wapas Lautne Ka Man Karta Hai……..
Ek Bar Aur …….
Lautne Ka Man Karta Hai
