-- Lawaris --

aaj kal mere jehen mein sheir nahin aate,
meri auqaat nahin rahi ki sheir samajh mein aaye.

kya karen upjau jameen, aaj banjar ho gayi
barsaat na oas, dil mein sirf yaadein reh gayin.

ajeeb baat hei, aaj taajjub bhi nahin hota
ragon mein khoon sukh ke, sirf ehsaas reh gaya.

har dhadkan pyar ke naam qurbaan ho gaya,
pyar ruswa hua, dil mein sirf dard reh gaya.

dil ki aas, dil mein hi tadapti reh gayi,
qalam toot gaya, kaagaz par sirf kaali syaahi reh gayi,

dard had se gujar gaya, aas ne dam tod diya,
jaan chali gayi, jism mein sirf saanse reh gayin.

sheir likhe ne se pehle, meri jaan chali gayi
mere adhoore, apaahich, 'Gumnaam' sheir, lawaris reh gaye!

-- Phir se andhera --

chala ja raha tha, ik raat ke akele mein
manzil dhundhli si thi, aur the raaste anek.

ik hawaka jhonka aaya, mujhe choo.nta hua
hosh udaata hua, manzil ka ehsaas dilata hua.

door ik chiraag, aankhon ke saamne mila
manzil dikhi nahin, par paane ka aas mila.

do kadam dono saath chale, laga saathi mila,
us pal me jee rahe the, hume humsafar mila.

mera saathi, meri tarah lad khadaata hua,
woh chiraag, door hi se sahi, muskuraata hua.

phir ik hawaka jhonka aaya, palke jhapak gayi,
aankhe khuli to, andhera thi chaayi huyi.

dhundhli manzil 'Gumnaam'i, aur raaste anek.
