Discography
Ghazals
Aaj ham bichhade hain to kitane rangiile ho gaye
Besabab baat badhaane kii zaruurat kyaa hai
Gam kaa khazaanaa teraa bhii hai meraa bhii
Karb chehare se maah-o-saal kaa dhoyaa jaaye
Main na hinduu na musalamaan mujhe jiine do
Niind se aankh khulii hai abhii dekhaa kyaa hai
Thukaraao yaa ab ke pyaar karo main nashe men huun
Zamiin pe chal na sakaa aasmaan se bhii gayaa
