Meri Wo Chidiya...

मेरे  आँगन की वो चिड़िया जो खुल के चहचहाती थी

आज-कल कुछ गुमसुम, सहमी सी रहती है

अपने हि मीठे बोलों को सवालों सा तकती है

हर भोर के साथ अतीत मे भटकती है

दुनिया के रिवाज़ों से कुफ्र सी नज़र आती है

ख्वाहिशों के खँडहर से कुछ तिनके चुनती है

जो कभी खुले आसमां मे लगाती थी गोते

दर्द के दरिया मे डूबती दिखती है

मस्त-मौला, बकलोल मेरी वो चिड़िया

भावनाओं के बवंडर से लडती है

कुछ रोती है, कुछ बिलखती है

अपने अरमानों को तजती है

सवालों के समंदर से निकलती है

जज्बातों के पिंजरे को तोड़ कर

सिर्फ, इंसानों से मिलने से बचती है

Chalti ka naam zindagi ya gaadi...

Gaadi aur zindagi ka safar hai bahut hi khaas
Chalte dono hain, subah-o-shaam, din aur raat.

Darje bhi dono ke hain ek hi jaise
Zyaada daam me milta aaram to kam me milti hai khaak.

Padav bhi hote hain alag alag dono ke
Kuchh lagte hain ek se, kuchh me hoti hai ek alag si baat.

Musafir aate jaate kai hain dono me
Koi kuchh door tak to koi deta hai aakhiri tak saath.

Manzilen hoti hai har ek ki juda jaane ke baad
Kisi ki yaad aati hai tumhe to koi karta tumhe hai yaad.

Kuchh aur...

Apne kapdon me hi jism kisi aur ka lagta hai
Yahaan par har shakhs kuchh aur sa lagta hai

Kisi ke muhalle jagmag hain chiragon se
Kuchh logon ke ghar me bas alav sulagta hai

Wo sooni si sadken, biyabaan se jangal
Har dil me leking koi khyal tahalta hai

Pahchaan har ek ki alag alag hoti hai
Dhoondhe se lekin ek nishaan sa milta hai

Toote tamanna ya umeedon ka katl ho
Har ek tukde me phir bhi ek khwab to palta hai

Fasla

Jab saath tu hai to kya phir kami hai
Magar ye duniya kahan ab sagi hai

Tere har safar me kahan tak chale the
Ab chand kadmon me jaan thak chuki hai

Jo baaten lagi thi humko milane
Baaten wahi to zahar ban chuki hain

Peechhe palat ke jab dekha kiya main
Meri har nishani ki boli lagi hai

Na kufr hai ye tera, na meri thi galti
Har ek rishte ki nabz kabhi to ruki hai

Kisi Roz..

Dard kya hota hai batayenge kisi roz.
Koi kamaal ghazal tumko sunayenge kisi roz..

Thi unki zidd ki main jaoon unhe manane.
Mujhko veham tha wo bulayenge kisi roz..

Rab kis kasam maine socha bhi nahi tha.
Wo itana mere dil ko dukhayenge kisi roz..

Har roz aaine se ye poochha maine.
Kya rukh pe tabbassum bhi sajayenge kisi roz..

Udne do in parindon ko azaad fiza main.
Tumhare honge to lout hi aayenge kisi roz..

Apne sitam ka dekh lena khud hi assar tum.
Zakhm-e-jigar tamaam dikhayenge kisi roz..
Koi kamaal ghazal tumko sunayenge kisi roz..

Naate..

Kisi ke jazbaaton ki parwaah hai kise, is patththar dil zamaane me.
Sabka apna apna raag hai, rona hai, lage hain sub usko hi gaane me.

Rishton ko banane me waqt aur takleef bhi bahut lagti hai.
Nahi hai kuchh bhi lagta to, kisi bani hui duniya ko mitaane me.

Tere dil ki baat ko apne seene se lagaya har baar har tarah.
Muddat bhi kaafi na hui tere liye mere kuchh alfaazon ko apnaane me.

Naaton ko kai baar tola gaya hai taraazoo me har tarah ke.
Keemat hi bhool gaya har koi, mashgul ho gaya jo sikkon ko sajaane me.

Har dar par yadon aur tamnaaon ke khoonte se thuke hote hain.
Kabhi kabhi ye zaalim hi kaam aate hain akele man ko bahlaane me.

Lambi Kahaani..

Ek chhota sa lamha ek lambi kahani
Wo sooni si rahen, biyaban wo aangan.
Har ek zarre me hai, rakhi kuchh nishani
Ek chhota sa lamha ek lambi kahani..

Jahaan par bichhi thi khushiyan hazaron
Nikhare salone the khwabon khayalon.
Waheen par to thi khwahishen sab gumani
Ek chhota sa lamha ek lambi kahani..

Khate hue nanhe haathon ko apne
Muh se tapkta tha 'Guddu' ke paani
Mahangi hui itani chatani ki keemat.
Padi ab to wo, apni jaan se chukani
Ek chhota sa lamha ek lambi kahani..

Jaan ki bhookh aur lahoo ki pyaas rakhna
Bandookon, Dhamaakon ke sabak paath ratana.
Aadatein nahi ye sabhi katai insaani
Ek chhota sa lamha ek lambi kahai..

Rone Nahi Diya....

Patthr bana diya mujhe rone nahi diya.
Daaman bhi tere gham ne bhigone nahi diya.

Tanhaiyaan tumhara pata pochhati rahien.
Shab bhar tumhari yaad ne sone nahi diya.

Aankhon mein aa ke baith gaye ashkon ki tarah.
Palkon pe khoye khwaab ko pirone nahi diya.

Dil ko tumhare naam ke Aanso azeez the.
Duniya ka koi dard nazron me samaney nahi diya.

Yun us ki yaad chali haath thaam ke mele mein.
Is jahan ko mujhse khone nahi diya.

Pather bana diya mujhe roonay nahi diya.
Daaman bhi tere gham ne bhigone nahi diya.

Aur kya Baap..

Aap ke saath me maine pata nahi kitne din bitaye honge, Bachpan me shayad aap hi ke haathon par sar rakh kar mujhe neend ke jhonke aate the. Ghar ke peechhe ke bagiche me aap hi ke saath mitti me main kaam kiya karta tha.

Lekin waqt ne mujhe bada karna shuru kar diya aur aap ke aur mere beech ki dooriyon ko bhi. Jahan main school se aate waqt aapke office me aakar aapke saath jaane ke liye ghanton aapke lunch time ka intazaar kiya karta tha waheen kuchh lamhe aise bhi aaye jab hum dono ne ek hi chhat ke neeche rahte hue bhi kai dino tak bhi ek doosare ki shakl bhi nahi dekhi. Mujhe pata hai ki ye sabhi aapke aur mere pass rahi waqt ki kamee aur badhti jimmedariyon ke karan hua tha lekin baat mere dil ko dukhane ke liye kafi thi aur shayad aapke bhi.

Aapka mujh par bharosa duniya me kisike bhi bade se bade bharose ko bhi maat dene ki kabiliyat rakhta hai. Mujhe pata hai ki ye kabhi aapne yeh mere saamne nahi kaha lekin yaad rakhiyega ki mere bhi mukhbir aapke aas paas hi rahte hain.

Jab hum dono raat bhar baith kar bank audit karte the aur aap subah jaldi uth kar kaam shuru kar dete the to main doosre din aapse pahle uthane ki taiyyari kar ke rakhta tha lekin aisa ho nahi sakta hai J aur phir Maa chillati thi, “In dono baap bete ko computer aur accounts dedo duniya ko bhool jaye, are khana to khalo thanda ho raha hai” aur hum dono hanste the :).

Pahle jab hum aam aur sabzi lene jaate the to aap drive karte the aur main baithta tha lekin ab aap baithte hain aur main drive karta hoon. Lekin kya hume badalne ke liye ye hi saari baate kafi hain?

Kal jab aapko maine dekha aur aapne mujhe dekhne ke baad phir se wo Bhartnatyam dekhna shuru kiya to mujhe aisa laga ki meri sabse anmol cheez mujhse us dancer ne chheen li ho lekin aisa kabhi ho nahi sakta. Kyonki main aapka dayan haath hoon aur hum dono ko koi alag nahi kar sakta.

Humare wo empire aur institute wale plan bhooliyega nahi main wapas aane ke baad aapka 50% ka partner banne wala hoon.

Mujhe pata hai ki aap kabhi ye padhenge nahi kyon ki aapko to mail kholne ke liye bhi meri zaroorat padti hai aur main aapse ye sab kabhi kah nahi sakoonga lekin ye hum dono jaante hain ki kal ka din hum dono ke liye kya tha.

Pata nahi wo jagah ka jaadoo tha ya phir din ka lekin kuchh bhi ho aapka jaadoo mere din ko yaadgar banane ke liye kafi tha. Aur aap aise pahle hain is duniya me jisne kal ke din bete ko gift diya ho.

Happy Fathers Day Mamaji.

Imtahaan...

Imtahaan zindagi ka dene me kya harz hai.
Uske gussaile waron ko sahna bhi to ek farz hai.

Aadami ke zakhmon ka marham kahan dhondhoge.
Yahaan to tan ke rom rom me marz hai.

Aana na aana hai faisla ek tarfa unka.
Jahan bhi jaun har aangan me dard hai.

Saare jahan ke nazaare hai bhikhre hue.
Gulista-E-Bahaar bhi ab dikhta zard hai.

Kahaani meri ho ya ho kisi dushman ki.
Jazbaaton ke bina to garm khoon bhi sard hai.

Tu.

Pyaar ka meetha ehsaas dilane lagi hai tu
Ab to mujh se mujhi ko churane lagi hai tu.

Teri chahatoon ka chhaaya hai saroor is qadar
Har pal har jagah nazar aane lagi hai tu.

Veeraan thi yeh zindgi tere aane se pehle
Khushiyoon ke sapne mujhe dhikane lagi hai tu.

Har pal mujhe hota hai bas tera hi ehsaas
Is qadar meri saanson mein samaane lagi hai tu.

Ek pal ki bhi doori seh nahi paata hoon main
Hoke juda kyun mujhe azmaane lagi hai tu.

Raah chalte hue aksar hota hai yeh gumaan
Ke ban saaya saath mere aane lagi hai tu.

Doorie...

Kisi ko kho dena ya kisi se bichhad jana, alag hone ka dukh ya judai ka gum, yeh sab har ek insaan ki zindagi me kaheen na kaheen, kisi na kisi mod par uske saamne khade hote hi hain. Insaan samaj me rahne wala ek jaanwar hai jo ki samaj ke doosare jaanwaron ke saath samaaj me hi rahna pasand karta hai.

Kisi naye insaan se milna par apni jagah, naam aur rutabe ko bachate hue uske saath dosti karta hai. Aur use in teenon par kisi bhi tarah ka koi khatra dikhai deta hai to naye insaan se dooriyan bhi us hi hisab se rakhi jaati hain. Yaani jitana bada khatra utni hi badi doorie.
Lekin yeh chhota sa insaani dimag aur itani badi duniyadaari. Kabhie kabhie ye wo samajh leta hai jo hota nahi hai aur kabhie wo bhi nahi samajh pata jo aankhon ke saamne din ke aathon pahar chalta rahta hai.

Sach kahoon to itane saare lafzon ko likh dene ke baad bhi main abhi tak yeh soch raha hoon ki main ki main likhna kya chahta hoon. Aaj tak bahaduri ki badi badi deengen hankane wale 'Aalampanah' ko waqt ke sirf ek chhote se dav ne charo khane chitt kar diya.

Kai maheene kuchh logon ke saath rahne, kaam karne aur ladne ke baad maine socha tha ki aakhiri din yahan se jaate waqt mujhe sirf meri gaadi ( jisme main bangalore chhodne wala tha) aur mera kaam dikhai dega aur aakhiri ke dinon tak aisa hi tha. Lekin aakhiri ke un saat dinon me to jaise sab kuchh ghoom hi gaya. Jaise jaise log ja rahe the waise waise zindagi ke kuchh hisse kam ho rahe the aur saath hi zindagi ke ruk jaane ka darr bhi badhata ja raha tha. Par abhi tak housala bana hua tha ki mere jaane se kisi ko koi fark nahi padata. Lekin ek raat kisi ki siskiyon ne mere is bharam ko chakna choor kar diya.

Fir to aisa lag raha tha ki poori zindagi ko jaane ke pahle hi samet loon. Har ek dost jise meri zaroorat hai use apne daaman me sahej loon. Magar mumkin aur namumkin ki samjh hai mujhe aur mujhe pata hai ki yeh mumkin nahi.

Gam hai ki aaj hum saath nahi lekin khushi is baat ki hai ki kuchh aur bhi aise log hain jinhe meri zaroorat aur fikr dono hai.
Sabhi ke liye yeh 'Pakau aur Paagal' abhi bhi wahi hai jo tumhare bagair hamesha adhoora hai. Tum sabhi meri wo jaaydaad ho jo main kisi bhi keemat par apane paas se jaane na doonga.
Miss you so much :(

Kam aur Gum

Dil Gumsum, zubaan KhamoshYe Aankhein Aaj Yu Nam Kyu Hai,
Jise Kabhi Paya Hi Na Tha , Khone Ka Unhe Aaj Gum Kyu Hai.

Mahfilen, kafile, Hungama aur shor hai yahaan.
Bheed ke saath hota hai jism har baar tanha man kyun hai.

Karigari kajrari aankon ki, utar gayi teer si dil me mere.
Un aankhon se milkar aankhen,ghayal sirf hum kyu hai.

Baaton ka asar jannat ko bhi pheeka karta tha.
zahar ka diya dard bhi aaj judai se kam kyu hai.

Doorie ka ahsaas deta hai har darakht baag ka.
Nazdeekiyon ka dimaag me zaalim bharam kyu hai.

Bhool Gaye..

Dahleej par meri wo aana bhool gaye.
Choukhat par ham hi diya jalaana bhool gaye.

Aati hui lahron ko ilazaam kyon de hum
Saagar ki chah me apna hi kinara bhool gaye.

Kahte hain zindagi ke kartab hai ajeeb
Ek ajeeb dhang se Mout ka jurmaana bhool gaye.

Mahlon ko banane ki aukat nahi thee
Ab to gharondon tak ke jazbaat bhool gaye.

Bhoolna aadam ki aadat ka hai nishan
Jaddojahad ke is dour me hum aadam jaat bhool gaye.

Dhoop Ke Saath..

Sadakon par bhatakta raha main raton ko.
Takdeer ki lakeeron ki chahat rah gayi hathon ko.

Muddaton se karta raha koshish kuchh kahne ki
Lafzon ki kami rah gayi har baar baaton ko.

Aaine me chand dikha dhoop ke saath mujhe
Nigal gaya bharam masoom khayalaton ko.

Sooni aankhon me ashkon ka sailaab utha
Baha diya usme tamaam armaano ko.

Mushkil hai zinda rahna bin ab tere is jahan me
Aazadi chahiye jism se in gulam saanson ko.

Nakaab...

Sookhe hue zakhmo ko dekhoon aaj
khoya kya aur kya chhuta sochun aaj.

Ungaliyon ki chhuan jo thi ungaliyon par kaheen
aankhen khol jee bhar unhen dekhoon aaj.

Chehron me nazar aata hai ek hi chehra
Nakab chehron par rakhoon ya pochoon aaj.

Kaanten hain yahan har ek gul me
Dil me rakhoon ya door inhe fekoon aaj.

Dooriyon me kasak hai zamane ki
thukra doon ya phir us dar par loutun aaj.

Suroor......

Saanson ki fislan jism se mahsoos hoti hai
Khwahishen bhi kis had tak magroor hoti hain.

Ret ki tarah bikharta jaata hai waqt
Kareeb tanhaiyan aur khushiyan door hoti hain.

Mousam ka aana wazib hai salon saal
Baharen ab yahaan se kafoor hoti hain.

Roushani ki chahat me kahan tak jaoge
Chandani bhi gam me ab masroof hoti hai.

Duniya ne kaha ishq to haraam hai
Laga hame bhi Muhhabat sirf ek suroor hoti hai.

Chand bhi hai Khafa..

Jaate jaate main tumhe ye kah na saka
Meri duniya me tere bina hai kya rakha.

Tamanna karoon kuchh pane ki kya kabhi
Gharondon ko tak main bacha na saka.

Umeedon ko poora karna bus me nahi ab
Zindagi se khud rahta hoon thaka-thaka.

Sitare chale gaye gardish me sare
Chand bhi aaj kal hai mujhse khafa.

Halat ban gaye matam ke gulashan me
Saanse hone lagi hain jism se dafa.

Aawaz bhi jati nahi tujh tak ab to
Parde me ja chhupe hain wade aur wafa.

Pyar aur Takrar....

Khelne ka waqt mil jaye aaj sath tere
Arman kuchh to poore ho phir se mere.

Ladna tujhse ek kameej par din bhar
Dekhana tamashe sadak par madari ko ghere.

Pyar aur takrar me fark nahi hamare liye
Apni bat karke bane rahna goonge bahre.

Chori chhupe ghusna ghar me rat ko
Chourahon par dena ghanton tak phere.

Sikhaya tune mujhe kya kya nahi
Pehla dost hai tu dil me mere.

Waqt ne paida ki dooriyan meelon ki
Lahoo-o-khayal wahi hain aaj bhi tere-mere.

KYON...

Kisi ki peshani ki lakeeron ko dekh laga yoon
sare jahan me hai shakhs pareshan kyon.

Gamon ka saya to sabhi par padta hai
kisi ke jane par ye ashkon ka dariya kyon.

Bachche ka rona aangan me lage pyara
bachchi ki kilkariyon pe ye hangama kyon.

Ameer ke ghar ka alaav ghee se jala
Gareeb ke choolhe aur ghar me andhiyara kyon.

Sabak dete samjhate hain log sabhi ko
Aaine me dekhne ka khud ko nahi koi paimana kyon.
