जलवा बक़द्र-ए-ज़र्फ़-ए-नज़र देखते रहे।
क्या देखते हम उनको मगर देखते रहे।।
अपना ही अक्स पेश-ए-नज़र देखते रहे।
आइना रु-ब-रु था जिधर देखते रहे।।

मैं अपने राम को रिझाऊं।
राम को रिझाऊं ,
अपने श्याम को रिझाऊं।
मैं अपने राम को रिझाऊं।
डाली छेड़ू न पत्ता छेड़ू ,
ना कोई जिव सताऊं।
पात पात में प्रभु बसत है ,
वाही को शीश नवाऊँ।
मैं अपने ….
गंगा ने जाऊ जमुना ने जाऊ ,
ना कोई तीरथ नहाऊं।
अडसठ तीरथ घट के भीतर ,
तिन्ही में मलके नहाऊं।
मैं अपने ….
ज्ञान कुठारा कस कर बाँधू ,
सूरत कमान चढ़ाऊँ।
पांच चोर बसे घट भीतर ,
तिनको मार गिराऊं।
मैं अपने ….
योगी होऊं न जटा बढ़ाऊ ,
ना अंग विभूत रमाऊँ।
जेहि का रंग रंगे विधाता ,
और क्या रंग चढ़ाऊँ।
मैं अपने ….
चंद्र सूर्ये दोऊ समकार राख्यो ,
निजमन सेज बिछाऊं।
कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो ,
आवागमन मिटाऊं।
मैं अपने ….
मैं अपने राम को रिझाऊं।
राम को रिझाऊं ,
अपने श्याम को रिझाऊं।
मैं अपने राम को रिझाऊं।

बे-नाम सा ये दर्द ठहर क्यूँ नहीं जाता
जो बीत गया है वो गुज़र क्यूँ नहीं जाता
सब कुछ तो है क्या ढूँढती रहती हैं निगाहें
क्या बात है मैं वक़्त पे घर क्यूँ नहीं जाता
वो एक ही चेहरा तो नहीं सारे जहाँ में
जो दूर है वो दिल से उतर क्यूँ नहीं जाता
मैं अपनी ही उलझी हुई राहों का तमाशा
जाते हैं जिधर सब मैं उधर क्यूँ नहीं जाता
वो ख़्वाब जो बरसों से न चेहरा न बदन है
वो ख़्वाब हवाओं में बिखर क्यूँ नहीं जाता
