ZAMAANE NIKAL GAYE

PADH LIKH GAYE TO HUM BHI KAMAANE NIKAL GAYE

LAUTNE MEIN FIR TO ZAMAANE NIKAL GAYE

GHIR AAYI SHAAM TO HUM BHI CHALE APNE GHAR KI OR

PANCHEE BHI APNE THIKANE NIKAL GAYE

BARSAATON KI KHWAHISH MEIN ARMAAN SAARE GUZARE

US SE MILNE KE SAARE BAHANE NIKAL GAYE

PEHLE BUJHATE RAHE SEENE MEIN LAGI APNI AAG

AURON KE DILON MEIN AAG LAGANE NIKAL GAYE

MACHLIYAAN KHUD PUKAR RAHI KAHAAN HAI JAAL

TEERON KI AARZOO MEIN NISHANE NIKAL GAYE

KIN SAAHILON PE NEEND KI PARIYAAN UTAR GAYI

KIN JUNGLON MEIN KHWAB SUHANE NIKAL GAYE

MERI AANKHON KA KHAYAL BHI USE AAYA JAB

MOTIYON KE SAARE KHAZANE NIKAL GAYE .

labo par uske kabhi baddua nahi hoti
bas ek maan hai jo kabhi khafa nahi hoti

Is tarah mere gunaahon ko wo dho deti hai,
maa bahut gusse mein hoti hai to ro deti hai

Maine rote hue ponchhe the kisi din aansoo
muddaton maa ne nahi dhoya dupatta apna

Abhi zinda hai maa meri mujhe kuchh bhi nahi hoga,
main jab ghar se nikalta hoon dua bhi saath chalti hai

jab bhi kashti meri sailaab mein aa jaati hai
maa dua karti hui khwaab mein aa jaati hai

aye andhere dekh le munh tera kaala ho gaya,
maa ne aankhein khol di ghar mein ujaala ho gaya

meri khwaahish hai ki main phir se farishta ho jaun
maaN se is tarah liptun ki bachcha ho jaun

'munawwar' maa ke aage yun kabhi khulkar nahi rona
jahan buniyaad ho itni nami achhhi nahi hoti

lipat jaata hoon maa se aur mausi muskurati hai,
main udru mein ghazal kehta hoon hindi muskrati hai
