Ashiq mizaaz zaroor hoon...

Ashiq mizaaz zaroor hoon,

Magar phir bhi halaat se yoonhi haar jaata hoon.

Har din kisi naye josh se zindagi ka saamna karta hoon

Magar agle pal naa jaane kis musibat ka saamna karta hoon.

Mizaaz toh jaise humare isharon ka ghulam hai,

Phir bhi naa chahte hue bhi halaat ka ghulami karta hoon.

Zindagi ka rivaaz se hairan saa hoon,

Halaat mein mithas (sweetness) ke saath kuch karvahat (bitterness) bhi shamil hai,

Isi rivaaz ko apni zindagi ka dastoor samajh kar har pal kisi ashiq ki tarah guzarta hoon.

Barsaat ne toh saara mahaul jaise beimaan kar diya....

Barsaat ne toh saara mahaul jaise beimaan kar diya,

Jaam ke pyale ki waise koi zaroorat toh nahi

Magar phir bhi aaj mood yoonhi kar aaya.

Uss pyale ne toh mujhme kai bhoole hue armaanon ko taaza kar diya,

Bahut koshishon ke baad bhi main khud par kaboo na paa saka,

Shayad aaj woh mood yoonhi kar aaya.

Barsaat aur jaam ke beech toh barson purana yaarana hai,

Ek ke peeche doosre ki naubat aa hi jaata hai,

Yeh mera vehem hai ya phir aaj mera aisa mood yoonhi kar aaya?

Kyon nahi main bhi apni umar ko bhool kar kuch mauj mastiyon mein kho jaaon?

Iss soch mein kuch dum bhi hai ya phir aaj mera mood yoonhi kar aaya?

Maaro goli aise waise junoon ko,

Kya ho jaiga inn sochon mein doob kar?

Haqiqat toh Yeh hai ke aaj mera aisa mood yoonhi kar aaya.

Celebrations are up in the air...

Celebrations are up in the air,

Our Tricolour flies high not only from the ramparts of Red Fort but in millions of localities,

Was it not the solemn occasion to cherish this hard earned freedom ?

Lump in my throat and goose bumps all over as our Tricolour is hoisted and National Anthem is being sung,

Each word is filled with a unique expression of patriotism,

Was it not the time to salute these icons of our Nationhood ?

Today's newspaper carries news about yet another young brave-heart making the supreme sacrifice on line of duty,

He too had loved ones back home,

Is it too much for each one of us to salute this brave-heart and shed a tear for his loved ones back home?

Tomorrow will be another day,

Lives have to carry on by confronting new challenges and enduring countless struggles,

Is it not proper to be grateful to our Nation and such countless martyrs, for such an enabling environment, to effectively meet our challenges and overcoming our struggles ?

Khamosh hoon main.......

Khamosh hoon main,

Khamosh hai woh,

Naa jaane' kyon phir bhi mann mein itna shor hai.

Naa jaane' kaun kaun bass gaya hai mere' mann mein,

Aur naa jaane' kaun si aisi baat hai?

Shayad mann ab mere' bas mein nahi hai,

Samajh nahi saka ke' mann mein itni hulchul kyon hai ?

Suna tha kabhi ke' khamoshi ka alagh hi mazaa hai,

Magar aisa lagta hai ke' mann mein iss hulchul ka andaz hi kuch kamaal hai.

Ab iss khamoshi ki kya kadar karein?

Jab uss hulchul se' hi kuch apnapan ho gaya hai.

All reactions

Shauq se' aaj kisi aur mazedaar shauq ki talash kar raha hoon..

Shauq se' aaj kisi aur mazedaar shauq ki talash kar raha hoon,

Kya hai woh?

Isi soch ko lekar yahan wahan apni nazrein laga rakha hoon.

Shauq toh waise' humne' kai poore' kiye' hain,

Unmein kuch mazedaar bhi the' aur kuch toh aise' hi the',

Ab unn sabse' badhkar kisi aur shauq ki talash kar raha hoon.

Magar kahin woh shauq mujhe' koi aur hi shaukeen naa banaa de',

Kahin mujhe' yoonhi badnam naa kar de',

Isi soch ko lekar khabhi ghabra bhi jaata hoon.

Magar zindagi ke' iss safar mein,

Saare' shauq kya humare' humsafar nahi bann sakte'?

Yahi raaz apne' mizaaz mein lekar iss safar ko suhana banaa raha hoon.

Zindagi ke’ iss lajawaab mele’ mein...

 A tribute to a departed close relative:

-----------------------------------------

Zindagi ke’ iss lajawaab mele’ mein,

Kai shaksiyaton se’ mulakaat hote’ chale’ gaye’.

Kuch toh hawa ke’ jhonkon ki tarah aakar chale’ gaye’,

Aur kuch yoonhi humare’ zehen se’ achanak gayab ho gaye’.

Magar ek aise’ bemisaal insaan ne’,

Humare’ dil-o-dimag mein jaise’ koi riyasat banaate’ chale’ gaye’.

Aur apne’ kamaal ki shaksiyat ke’ zariye’,

Humare’ zindagi ke’ iss gulistan ko mehkaate’ chale’ gaye’.

Uss bemisaal insaan ki ab kya tareef karoon?

Tareef ke’ kai andaaz toh woh hum sabko sikhaate’ chale’ gaye’.

Mehfil mehfil mein raunaq ke’ kai rang toh hum sabne’ zaroor dheke’ hain,

Magar kuch mehfilon mein shariq ho kar woh apna hi koi alagh rang wahaan milaate’ chale’ gaye’.

Muskurahat ke’ kai andaaz hum sabne’ zaroor dekhe’ hain,

Magar apni muskurahat ke karishmon se’ woh kai dilon mein diye’ jalaate’ chale’ gaye’.

Shayad uss Parvar Digar ke’ durbar mein unka shariq hona zaroori tha,

Shayad unke’ bina woh durbar bhi kuch viraan sa tha,

Magar hum sabke’ sheesha-e-dilon mein khud ko hi quaid karke’ woh humko hamesha ke’ liye’ apna deedar banaakar iss jahaan se’ chale’ gaye’ .

Exhausted chasing my dreams till now...

Exhausted chasing my dreams till now,

But am loving it don't know why.

Life has it's own way of testing our resolve,

But am loving it don't know why.

Thought of quitting this maddening life long struggle,

But am loving it don't know why.

Am i chasing my dreams or a mirage not sure,

But am loving it don't know why.

Still a mystery when and where I'll call it quits

But am loving it don't know why.

Right now am just fed up of my destiny which is playing hide and seek with me,

But still, am loving it don't know why.
