आज अपने दर्द से, आजाद हूँ मैं !!!!

2009-05-12T09:27:00.003+05:30

आज अपने दर्द से, आजाद हूँ मैं ,
क्या करुँ की, इतना बरबाद हूँ मैं .

दिल को मेरे दीवाना कहो या पागल,
तेरे बिना पल पल, नाशाद हूँ मैं .

दर्द तेरा हद से गुज़र गया है अब तो,
पर आज भी ऐ ज़िन्दगी, तेरे बाद हूँ मैं .

आ मेरे पास आ, मेरे दिल को अपना बना,
बिन तेरे सूना सूना सा आसमान हूँ मैं .

तू आज भी अपना सा है !!!!

2009-03-16T07:50:00.004+05:30

कोई वादा तो नहीं तुझसे, पर तू आज भी अपना सा है,
क्यों तेरी जुदाई का, मेरे ग़म से कोई रिश्ता सा है ।

हर शह ज़माने में बदलती है, हर नज़र बहकती है,
एक पल का था दीदार, और आँखों में तेरा चेहरा सा है ।

महफिलों में गम है तू, और अपनों में मसरूर है,
क्या बात है की खामोश है , क्यों तू तन्हा सा है ।

कभी मरासिम थे हमसे तुम्हारे, आज ताल्लुक भी नहीं,
दिल से धड़कन कैसे ये कहे, की तू मुझसे जुदा सा है ।

सारी खुदाई थी एक तरफ, और खुदा तुझको माना था मैंने,
खता की ये की न समझा मैंने, तू भी एक इन्सां सा है ।

आज चांदनी खामोश है, और चाँद भी कुछ गुमसुम है,
देख ले कायनात में, किस कदर मुक़म्मल मेरा ज़ज्बा सा है ।

बेज़ा है ज़िन्दगी अपनी, अरमाँ हर बेज़ा है.. !!!!

2008-12-25T07:44:00.006+05:30

बेज़ा है ज़िन्दगी अपनी, अरमाँ हर बेज़ा है,
हमने चाहा है तुम्हें, बस इतनी सी खता है

इश्क हमको तुमसे, हद से ज्यादा था कहीं,
ग़म तो ये है की, तुम्हें इसका भी गिला है।

तुम में खोया था मैं, इस कदर की भूला खुदको,
पूछते हो अब मुझसे, क्या मेरा नाम-ओ-निशाँ है ।

चलो मान लो की हमें, मोहब्बत ही नहीं तुमसे,
दुनिया भी देखे वफ़ा का, ये भी एक सिला है ।

अश्क बहने दो मगर, इतना तो कहे कोई मुझसे,
किस बात पे जाने वफ़ा, मेरा मुझसे खफा है ।

अल्लाह का नेक बन्दा, मैं भी था एक कभी,
काफ़िर हो गया हूँ, जब से तू मेरा खुदा है ।

बेज़ा है ज़िन्दगी अपनी, अरमाँ हर बेज़ा है,
हमने चाहा है तुम्हें, बस इतनी सी खता है .....

ना हो कोई रहगुज़र जिसकी....

2008-07-02T16:54:00.003+05:30

ना हो कोई रहगुज़र जिसकी, आज ऐसी एक मंजिल हूँ,
ना तुम्हे ऐ जिंदगी, ना ख़ुद को ही मैं हासिल हूँ ।

एक शोर सा है, मगर एक खामोशी सी चुभती है,
न जाने क्यों वो आरजू आज मुझे फ़िर से डंसती है,
बस एक फ़ैसला था जिंदगी का, जिसके मैं मुकाबिल हूँ,
ना हो कोई रहगुज़र जिसकी, आज ऐसी एक मंजिल हूँ ।

तुम पशेमान न रहो, मेरी बर्बाद ज़ज्बा-ऐ-जीस्त को,
तुम मुझसे आशना न रहो, न करो गिले किस्मत को,
मैं अपनी बेजान जिंदगी का, ख़ुद ही तो कातिल हूँ,
ना हो कोई रहगुज़र जिसकी, आज ऐसी एक मंजिल हूँ ।

सफर दर सफर, हर रहगुज़र, न जाने क्या पाया मैंने,
जिंदगी को औरों के लिए, बस दिलशाद लुटाया मैंने,
गिला अब क्या मुझे किसी से, मैं ख़ुद से ही गाफिल हूँ,
ना हो कोई रहगुज़र जिसकी, आज ऐसी एक मंजिल हूँ ।

मंजिले न मिलीं, रास्ता खो गया,
तुझको पुकारा करूं, तू न आये अगर,
ज़िंदगी की सफ़र, ज़िंदगी की डगर,
मुझको आती नज़र, बस तू हमसफ़र.

इन राहों की मंजिल, है तू जाने जाँ,
तेरे बिन तन्हा दिल, तन्हा मेरा जहाँ,
मुझको आवाज़ दे, तू कहाँ है मगर,
ज़िंदगी की सफ़र, ज़िंदगी की डगर,
मुझको आती नज़र, बस तू हमसफ़र.

आँख सोती रही, ख्वाब जागे रहे,
मेरे अरमान मेरे, दिल से आगे रहे,
अब आती नही, मुझको मेरी खबर,

यूं कब तक करूं , मैं इंतज़ार तेरा,
मुझको तकती है, कब से रहगुज़र जाने दे,
मेरी यादों को टूट के, बिखर जाने दे .

वो शोख गुंचा, यादों का गिरता नहीं,
जुस्तजू जीस्त की, पर कुछ मिलता नहीं,
ज़िंदगी को कभी, सफर दर सफर जाने दे,
मेरी यादों को टूट के , बिखर जाने दे .

वो बेवफ़ा नही, मैं बेवफ़ा ही सही,
अब और मुझसे मगर, सहा जाता नहीं,
मुझको कहेंगे लोग, बेशरम जाने दे,
मेरी यादों को टूट के, बिखर जाने दे .

मेरे दिल की उलझनों को, ऐ माज़ी बता,
किस तरह खोया उसको, वो कहानी बता,
उनके हों लाख तंज़ मुझपे, मगर जाने दे,
मेरी यादों को टूट के बिखर जाने दे .

दर्द लम्हों को हद से गुज़र जाने दे !!!

निगाहें मुन्तजिर हैं तेरे दीदार को !!!!

2008-04-24T18:20:00.003+05:30

एक अरसा हुआ है मेरे इंतज़ार को,
निगाहें मुन्तजिर हैं तेरे दीदार को .

तुम मोहब्बत को दिल्लगी समझ बैठे,
कोई मेरी धड़कनें सुनाओ मेरे यार को.

मैं याद करूं और वो सामने आ जाएं,
कुछ ऐसा हो की, वो भी बे-इख्तियार हो .

लब खामोश हैं की ज़माने को न खबर हो,
कहीं नज़र न लग जाये हमारे प्यार को .

एक ख़त तुझे लिखा, होकर बहुत उदास,
उसे मत पढना शायद, दिल का गुबार हो.

दुआ कर की मुझको आज, नींद आ जाये,
ख्वाब कोई देखूं, और तेरे दीदार हो.

एक अरसा हुआ है मेरे इंतज़ार को,
निगाहें मुन्तजिर हैं तेरे दीदार को....

वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव,
वो लहराती झील, वो लहरों में पाँव,
छन छन सी वो, पायल की तान,
भूला नहीं मैं, वो तेरा गाँव।
वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव.....

वो आँखों से बात, ले हाथों में हाथ,
वो यादों में डूबी, वादों की रात,
और कहना मेरा तुझको, ओ जानेजाँ,
वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव......

शर्माये से थे, जब तेरे नैना,
थामी कलाई थी, मैंने तो सजना,
न पूछो क्या गुजरी, वो मुझपे सांझ,
वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव.....

मैं जब चला था, बस इतना गिला था,
न मोहब्बत ही हासिल, न कोई सिला था,
वो नाकाम अरमाँ , खोया वो चाँद,
वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव.....

बैठा हूँ आज, महफिल में तन्हा,
साकी पिला दे, वो बीता लम्हा,
वो लहराती झील, वो लहरों में पाँव,
वो बलखाये बेल, वो दरख्तों की छाँव..........

शायराना सी ज़िंदगी ....

2008-01-04T10:51:00.000+05:30

शायराना सी ज़िंदगी मायूस लगती है कभी कभी,
और एक टीस सी दिल में उठती है कभी कभी ।

पाया ही कहाँ था तुझको, और खो दिया है मैंने,
नसीब के जुल्मो सितम को, करम का नाम दिया है मैंने,
मैं भूल ना पाया तुमको मगर, तुम बन गए ख्यालों में हमसफ़र,
जुदा होकर भी तू मुझे, अपनी लगती है कभी कभी ।

साँसों के बिना जी लेता, तुम बिन जियूँ कैसे,
आँखों के समंदर से, हर वो बूँद पियूं कैसे,
मेरी आँखों से तमन्नाएँ बह गयीं, तू मगर मेरे दिल में रह गयी,
तेरे बिना ये ज़िंदगी, थमी सी लगती है कभी कभी ।

ज़ख्मी-ए-दिल का हर ज़ख्म, तुझे पल पल बुलाता है,
जो भूल गए तुम, वो समां मुझे आज याद आता है,
तुम मगर मुझको ख्यालों में ना लाना, मेरी फिक्र में न तुम आँसू बहाना,
आजकल नींद मुझे भी आ जाती है, कभी कभी ।

In ansuon me nahi kashish, har sitam dha kar dekhte hain shakl,
Ae saze dil, kuchh aise machal, har aah bhi ban jaye ghazal.

Hote rahe hum ruswa, har mod par hai charcha mera,
Hum vafa kar ke bhi badnaam, unke sir zafa ka sehra,
Hain aaj zakhmi, dil pashemaa.n, ye waqt kabhi to jaye badal,
Ae saze dil, kuchh aise machal, har aah bhi ban jaye ghazal.

Tamanna hai teri, sitam dhao ya fer lo nazren humse,
Roshan hai teri mehfil, aaj bhi mere hi dum se,
Har shaakh pe hai baitha qaatil, armanon ka na ho jaye qatal,
Ae saze dil, kuchh aise machal, har aah bhi ban jaye ghazal.

Teri bewafaii ka daag, ab na uthaya jaye hai mujhse,
Na marna hi munasib, na aur jeeya jaye hai mujhse,
Ab chahe tadpao hume, tarsao hume, ya kar do hume qatal,
Jab tootega dil kisi ka, sunai degi har aah me meri hi ghazal.

Ae saze dil, kuchh aise machal, har aah bhi ban jaye ghazal......

Kya Yahi Pyar Hai - MunnaBhai style!!!

2005-03-22T20:19:00.000+05:30

Ladka jaa raha tha, apni raah,
Ek ladki dikhi, bhari usne aah,
Ab har din karta, usi sadak pe intezaar hai,
Jab dikhe to muskaraye, kya yahi pyar hai??

Jab dekh dekh kar, wo thak aur pak gaya,
Tab ek din, peechha karta uske ghar gaya,
Roz usi sadak se, peechha karta wo yaar hai,
Chalte - chalte thak gaya, kya yahi pyar hai??

Aakhir ek din wo ladki bhi, use dekhkar yun hi muskarayi,
Ladke ne khud se kaha, ye to pake aam ki tarah jholi me aayi,
Ab uski muskarahat dekhne, ke liye wo beqarar hai,
Hanste - hanste munh dukh gaya, kya yahi pyar hai??

Fir dekhkar mauka, mara chauka, jakar ladki se bola,
Tujhe dekh Pighal raha hai dil, main shabnam tu shola,
Ab har din ladka rahta, insti se faraar hai,
Padhai kabki chhuti, kya yahi pyar hai??

Ladki jo pehle thi tang, ho gayi uske sang,
Boli kharchg karo paise, ladungi teri jung,
Chori kar ke ladka, ghar me karta taqraar hai,
Mehnat ke paise barbad, kya yahi pyar hai??

Khoya un dono ka qarar, ho gaye wo beqarar,
Raaton ko chhup chhup, phone pe karte iqrar,
Gharon me veerane, dilon me bahaar hai,
Mata pita hi dushman, kya yahi pyar hai??

Main tha gareeb, laachaar, bechara, besahara,
Kaise kisi ladki ke liye, ban jata main aawaara,
Pyar ki hawa ab, chhoo nahi sakti mujhe,
Paas paise nahi to, kaun dekhegi mujhe,
Sach hi kaha hai kisi shayar ne,
Shayad kisi dhadakte dil ke ghayal ne,
"Dhoondhte ho tum khushboo, kagazi gulabon me,
Pyar sirf milta hai, ajkal kitabon me".

Kabhi Hansi Labon Par!!

Kabhi hansii labon par, kabhi ankhon me nami si hai,
Meri barbad zindagi me, ek teri hi kami si hai.

Humne chaha hai tumhe, badi shiddat se,
Lab sil gaye the humare, ek muddat se,
Zakhmi-e-dil par abhi, ek aur chot lagi si hai,
Meri barbad zindagi me, ek teri hi kami si hai.

Saath nahi hai tu magar, teri yaaden hain,
Rahguzar par teri manzil ke, kuchh saye hain,
Tere bina meri besahara zindagi, aaj thami si hai,
Meri barbad zindagi me, ek teri hi kami si hai.

Meri khamoshiyon ki sada, sun na sake tum,
Meri nazron ko bhi kabhi, padh na sake tum,
Dil ke itne kareeb hokar bhi, tu mujhse ajnabi si hai,
Meri barbad zindagi me, ek teri hi kami si hai.

Hum bewafaa na tha, ye kaise yakeen dilayen,
Tu kahe to aaj, tere kadmon me mar jayen,
Tu zindagi, tu tishnagi, tu dard, tu hi khushi bhi hai,
Meri barbad zindagi me, ek teri hi kami si hai.

Wo Is Kadar Saath Chale !!!

Wo is kadar saath chale, ki hum tanha rah gaye,
Humsafar banke bhi, ajnabi wo humnawa rah gaye.

Na ek nazar dekha, na kuchh kaha pyar se,
Bade khamosh se mere,wo humjuban rah gaye.

Unke khayalon-khwab ke, andaze-bayaan shayarana the,
Hum shayar hokar bhi, ek ankahi dastan rah gaye.

Dil todkar humara, zara khush wo yaar ho gaye,
Hum dil-e-nakam, humare wo dilruba rah gaye.

Saath chalkar bhi hum, tumhe jaan na paye,
Kareeb hokar bhi kitne, fasle darmiyaan rah gaye.

Teri bewafaaii ka daag, humne uthaya umra bhar,
Hum yun khoone-jigar, tum benishaan rah gaye.

Tamanna dhun me apni, jane kya toote dil ka haal,
Kitne zakhm dil par, kitne udas wo armaan rah gaye.

Dua kar raha hoon, khud apni khake-qabra par,
Kaafir aaj tum khuda par, kitne meharbaan rah gaye.

Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,

Aao paas zara, ek jhalak dikhakar chhup gaye ho kahan,
Us ek pal se hai roshan, ye mera andhera jahaan,
Na koi aur mila to, apne saye se tera pata poochhte hain,
Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,
Tasveer ki jarurat kise, tumhe hum dil me liye ghoomte hain.

Tere kadmon ki parchhaiyan, le jati hain na jane kis or,
Har baar wahi mod ata hai, uthta hai dil me ek shor,
Kuchh na soojha deewane ko, to tere kadmon ki dhool choomte hain,
Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,
Tasveer ki jarurat kise, tumhe hum dil me liye ghoomte hain.

Na tarsao hume itna ki, tamanna hi mar jaye,
Zakhm ab itna bhi na do, ki dil hi bhar jaye,
Jo diye hain tune zakhme-judaaii, aaj wo nasoor se chubhte hain,
Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,
Tasveer ki jarurat kise, tumhe hum dil me liye ghoomte hain.

Tere liye sanjoye the, in ankhon me sunahre sapne,
Tum hi tum to the, is jahan me sirf mere apne,
Aa jao lautkar ki tum bin, armaan ab dil hi dil me doobte hain,
Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,
Tasveer ki jarurat kise, tumhe hum dil me liye ghoomte hain.

Kahan kahan na dhoondha tujhe, na paya to kya karen,
Khuda to kab se mera tha, dil ke armano se kya kahen,
Na paya tujhe to deewane hum, ab tere nishaan dhoondhte hain,
Dhoondhoge ek din mere nishaan, aaj hum tumko dhoondhte hain,
Tasveer ki jarurat kise, tumhe hum dil me liye ghoomte hain.

Tujhse kah raha hai pal pal, mere dil ka shor,
Tere sahare hi to ae humsafar, hum do chaar saans lete hain,
Tumse milkar kabhi kabhi, hum apne dil ka haal lete hain.

Sang tere bitaye do pal bhi, bhool nahi paya main,
Koshishe bahut ki par tujhse, rooth nahi paya main,
Teri har yaad ko hum, mahfooz is dil me sambhaal lete hain,
Tumse milkar kabhi kabhi, hum apne dil ka haal lete hain.

Apne daaman se baandh li, tumne zindagi meri,

Ek aap hi hain is jahan me, jo mere gham bhi paal lete hain,

Ye aur baat hai doobne walon ko, gahrai ka hosh nahi rahta.

Tanha dhoondhta hoon aksar, tumko main apne tasavvur me,
Sach kahta hoon apki kasam, mujhe tanhai ka hosh nahi rahta.

Kaafir kahte hain log mujhe, jo main karta hoon tere sajde,
Rindon ko khuda yaad hai, magar khudai ka hosh nahi rahta.

Lagta hai dar, hai aaj koi baat hone ko,

Teri judai ke dar se, meri rooh thartharati hai,
Aaj fir meri baton me, meri dhadkan ladkhadati hai.

Meri fikra me tum, ansoo bahaya na karo,

Mar ke bhi na mar saka, aisi mayyat thi meri,

Humne to guzar di, sadiyaan intezaar me.

Tum kareeb hokar bhi, fasle banate gaye,
Is qadar mil gayin, tanhaiyaan qarar me.

Jal gaye tamannaon ki aag me, hum to ye jana,
Beja hi dhoondta tha, roshniyaan angaar me.

Hota hai haseen har qatil, kahte the log humse,
Aur dhoondhte the hum, ranaiyaan ayyar me.

Yun to maikash, hazaron hain teri nigahon ke,
Kahan hai tujhme ab, jo mastiyan badakhwar me.

Tum se tanha mile bhi to, chura li nigahen tumne,
Yaad hain zara zara, wo shokhiyaan chashm-e-yaar me.

Dil me mere dabkar, aaj bhi haseen wo zazbaat rah gayi,
Ae bichhade sanam tujhse, ek akhiri mulaqat rah gayi.

Dil mera lene ke liye, tune bharam kya kya na diye,
Labon ki hansi chhin li, ashk hazaron ankhon ko diye,
Dha kar bhi qayamat humpar, tu meri kaynaat ban gayi,
Ae bichhade sanam tujhse, ek akhiri mulaqat rah gayi.

Dekh kar tujhko khwabon me, ehsaas hua taabeer ka,
Mujhse na poochho haal, meri bigdi hui taqdeer ka,
Tu mere jehan me banke, ek haseen khayaalat rah gayi,
Ae bichhade sanam tujhse, ek akhiri mulaqat rah gayi.

...Par Bawafa Tum Nahi

2004-08-29T15:15:00.000+05:30

Vade nibhaye, saath bhi diya, par bawafa tum nahi,
Hain andaze-ishq me aasaar, aur bhi bewafai ke liye.

Teri khushi se main khush hoon, tu khush rahe sada,
Ashkon se na daaman bhiga, meri khushi ke liye.

Tune lakh bachana chaha, mujhe ruswaiyon se magar,
Khud mere honthon pe hai ghazal, meri ruswai ke liye.

Tu saath tha pahle, to kuchh aur hi baat thi,
Ab agar tu saath bhi hai to, tanhai ke liye.

Main tumko bhula doonga, tera har gham mita doonga,
Magar mujhse na karo gile, meri barbad zindagi ke liye.

Mujhko na sada do ab, mera na karo intezaar,
Is jahan me na koi mera, na main kisi ke liye.

Tu Ek Meethi Ghazal...

2004-08-27T18:46:00.000+05:30

Tu ek meethi ghazal, mayus magar meri tahreer ho jaise,
Muskaan bin adhuri, magar zinda teri tasveer ho jaise.

Mere bulane par tera, ghar se chhup chhup kar nikalna,
Tere labon par inkaar, aur mohabbat me meri taaseer ho jaise.

Mujhse milte hi tera wo sharmana, wo palken jhukana,
Nigahon se iqrar karna, aur khamoshi teri tadbeer ho jaise.

Yun mere har vade par, tera halke se muskarana,
Bewafa main, aur jhoothi har meri taqreer ho jaise.

Har mulaqat par wo tanz duniya ke, wo tera ashk bahana,
Tu shaad zindagi meri, aur nashaad meri takdeer ho jaise.

Tere khayalon me ulajh kar rah gaya is qadar,
Tu mile to khwab ho, na mile to taabeer ho jaise.

Sabse Mayus Ghazal...

2004-08-20T21:21:00.000+05:30

Khush hote hote ye samaa, yun gaya badal,
Meri hi zindagi ban gayi, sabse mayus ghazal.

Tanha armaan tadapte hain, dil me mere,
Aaj kuchh sawaal uthte hain, dil me mere,
Kyon sirf main nahi kar paya, iradon par amal,
Meri hi zindagi ban gayi, sabse mayus ghazal.

Qaatil banaya duniya ne mujhe, meri hi laash ka,
Abhi jaan baaki hai, sun paigaam ek saans ka,
Is tarah ruswaa na kar, mujhe kar ke qatl,
Meri hi zindagi ban gayi, sabse mayus ghazal.

Har bazm me parwana main bana,
Har shamma ka deewana main bana,
Na-aashna har nazar, na pehchani jaye shakl,
Meri hi zindagi ban gayi, sabse mayus ghazal.

Bekhudi me ab na jane, chala jaata hoon kidhar,
Na hosh hai mujhko, na dil ko kuchh khabar,
Kahe ye duniya, ae deewane ab to sambhal,
Kyon teri zindagi ban gayi, sabse mayus ghazal.

Mujhko Dhoondh Leti Hai...

Posting after so many days...needed a break ;)..comments invited.

Maine chhode na apne nishaan, ye rahguzar ishara deti hai,
Dasht-o-sahra me bhi, meri ruswai mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Kahne ko mere saathi, rahon me mile the kabhi mujhe,
Aashna ke mahfilon me, meri tanhai mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Har kadam par khai thokar, paya nahi kuchh bhi sabkuchh khokar,
Kismet se hi sahi magar, meri badnaseebi mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Chaha to tha kar loon intezaar, tasavvur hi sahi unka aana,
Kadam na thame kabhi, meri aawargi mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Yun to milte rahe raahon me, dil lagane wale kai log,
Koi lakh kareeb ho, teri judai mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Pyas hai janmon ki, dene walon ne saagar bhi diye,
Har boond me bhi, meri tishnagi mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Jeete ji to kabhi chain na mila, marna jo chaha kabhi maine,
Meri mayyat pe bhi, meri zindagi mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Ab na likhenge hum ghazal kabhi, aah na banenge shabd kabhi,
Aahon ke naseeb se, meri shayari mujhko dhoondh leti hai.

Ek Ungli Se Likha Tha Pyar Tumne...

2004-08-15T13:10:00.000+05:30

"Some times people change and sometimes they dont."
'Harivansh Rai Bachchan' in his own flamboyant style..

Raat aadhi kheench kar meri hatheli,
Ek ungli se likha tha pyar, tumne.

Kuchh faasla tha humare bistaron me,
Aur charon or duniya so rahi thi,
Tarikayen hi gagan ki janti hain,
Jo dasha dil ki tumhare ho rahi thi.
Main tumhare paas hokar door tumse,
Adhjaga sa aur adhsoya hua sa,
Raat aadhi kheench kar meri hatheli,
Ek ungli se likha tha pyar, tumne.

Ek bijli chho gayi, sahsa jaga main,
Krishnapakshi chaand nikla tha gagan me,
Is tarah karwat padi thi tum ki aansoo,
Bah rahe the is nayan se us nayan me.
Main laga doon aag us sansaar me,
Hai pyar jisme is tarah asamarth-kaatar,
Jaanti ho us samay kya kar guzarne ke liye,
Tha kar diya taiyyaar tumne.
Raat aadhi kheench kar meri hatheli,
Ek ungli se likha tha pyar, tumne.

Aur utne faasle par aaj tak,
Sau yatna kar ke bhi na aye fir kabhi hum,
Fir na aya waqt waisa, fir na mauka us tarah ka,
Fir na lauTa chaand nirmam,
Aur apni wedna main kya bataun,
Kya nahi ye panktiyan khud bolti hain,
Bujh nahi paya abhi tak us samay jo,
Rakh diya tha haath par angaar tumne.
Raat aadhi kheench kar meri hatheli,
Ek ungli se likha tha pyar, tumne.

Main kya karoon...

2004-08-01T14:22:00.000+05:30

Naa asar aahon me, naa dard aisa jo ghazal me likhoon,
Haath khud-b-khud chal gaye, to deewana main kya karoon.

Jo labon par machal gaye, dard ke fasaane,
Jinhe sabko sunana chahen, hum deewane,
Gar labon par tham jaye, to afsaana main kya karoon.

Meri ruswai, mere pyar ki nishaai hai,
Zakhmi dil me dabi, teri hi kahaani hai,
Har Tees par labon ka, ladkhadaana main kya karoon.

Dard had se guzar jaye, to ashk baha lete hain,
Deewane teri yadon se, apna dil bahla lete hain,
Aise chaak daaman me tera, aag lagaana main kya karoon.
(chaak=torn)

Kuchh karam na sahi, par ashkon ko bah jane do,
Dard bankar hi sahi, yaad kuchh dil me rah jane do,
Tu agar khushi samjhe, to muskaraana main kya karoon.

Patthar Dil..

Takrakar lauT jati hai, har nazar meri nazar se,

Rahguzar me mile the, kai bar dilnawaz magar,
Aisa yahan kaun tha jo, patthar se seena chaak kare.

Thi kuchh tamanna aisi, ki puri na ho paye kabhi,
Ho gaye zakhmi, to ye kambakht bechara kya kare.
(kambakht= less kismet)

Din dhal jaye kabhi to, raat beete na bitaye,
Ye patthar kya jane, sahar kitna intezaar kare.
(sahar=morning)

Dil hota to dhadakta, patthar to TooT jaya karte hain,
Ye tamanna kya jane, wo mujhko kitna beqarar kare.

Jao ae duniyawalon, kyon waqt apna barbad karte ho,
Aaj apni har tamanna se, ye patthar dil inkaar kare.

Mulaqat Nahi Hoti..

2004-07-30T15:32:00.000+05:30

Wo ab aazmane lage hain, vafa pyar me,
Humne to guzaar di, sadiyan intezaar me.

Thodi pyar ki baten, thodi intezaar ki baten,
Hoti thi roz mulaqat ki baten, magar mulaqat nahi hoti.

Aag me teri jalkar dekh liya,
Humne zakhmon ko seekar dekh liya,
Din guzarta nahi, raat kaTti nahi,
Beet gayin tanha sard raten, tum magar saath nahi hoti.

Har mod par aawaz dekar pukara,
Tum jeete, har kadam main hara,
Kis kis ko na sadaa di, kahan kahan na dua ki,
Ashk bah nikle hansi ate ate, tumse magar baat nahi hoti.
(sadaa=call, ashk=tears)

Mujhko kya pata tha, tum rooth jaoge,
Saath chalkar bhi, ek din chhoot jaoge,
Aa jao lauTkar sanam, tumko meri hai kasam,
Dil hi bhar gaya zakhm khate khate, magar mulaqat nahi hoti.

Tere Liye...

2004-07-26T22:11:00.000+05:30

Tere liye hi hum aye the, dil hathon me laye the
Kaanto se bachakar ye daaman, phool vafa ke laye the.

Itne baras tumse door raha, bas yadon me tum the,
Dua karta tha tum salamat raho, gamon me hum the,
Ab ye na poochhna, tum bin wo lamhe hum kaise jiye,
Meri saanse, meri dhadkane, har chaahat thi bus tere liye.

Jab yaad teri ati thi, yadon ke diye jalate the,
Tanhai me hanste the, ashkon ke moti lutate the,
Ye hum hi jante hain, un ansuon ko hum kaise piye,
Wo ansoo, wo hansi, wo qurbat thi bus tere liye.
(qurbat=closeness)

Tumse milne ke arman dil me liye, hum juda rah jate the,
Itni koshish kar ke bhi, hum khud se hi khafa rah jate the,
Judai ke wo zakhm, na poochho kisne, kaise diye,
Hum maut ko daga de aye, jeena hai tere liye.

In labon par zid hai, dil me khwahishen tere liye,
Veeranon me rah kar, banaya hai aashiyan tere liye.

Chehra Chaand Honth Kanwal..

Kahin madhosh na kar de ye nigahen, kahin jaan na le jaye ye kaajal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.

Ye tere husn ki ranaiiyan, ye lahrata aanchal,
Kyon na hon hum deewane, kyon na bane pagal,
Kahte hain tujhse farishte bhi, ae nazneen zara sambhal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.
(ranaiiyan=beauty)

Khamosh labon par ye tabassum, aankhon me mastiyan,
Tum bin sooni ye mahfil, tum bin tanha ye bastiyaan,
Tujhe yun hi dekhte rahen hum, kash tham jaye ye pal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.

Tumse milkar aisa laga, jaise zindagi se mil gaye hon,
Tujhe gungunana to chaha magar, jaise honth sil gaye hon,
Teri har aahaT ne banaya, mere veerano ko mahal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.

Badi beqarari mujhe ho rahi hai, neend me sari duniya so rahi hai,
Chandni raat me, meri nigahen teri nigahon me kho rahi hai,
Na kije shokh nigahi ka gila, khud apki nigah rahi hai machal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.

Tujhe ankhon me chhupa loon, tujhe dil me basa loon,
Jiya to ye chahe, tujhe bahon me uTha loon,
Teri sharmo-haya magar na karne de, mere Iradon par amal,
Chehra chaand, honth kanwal, ya ho tum kisi shayar ki ghazal.

Pal pal rokar bhi, kya hota haasil hume,
warna in ankhon me ansuon ki kami nahi thi.

Wo kahte hain, kyon karte ho intezaar,
humne kabhi kiya hi nahi tumse pyar,
tumhe bhoolkar bhi kya paunga zindagi se,
tujh se pahle bhi, zindagi haseen nahi thi.

Dekhkar tujhko, kahen bhi to kya kahen,
dastane-mohabbat, likhen to kya likhen,
teri soorat ne nahi, seerat ne maar dala,
warna jahan me ek tu hi, haseen nahi thi.
