Ek lajawab rishte' ne' aaj 50 shandaar saal poore' kiye'

Composed the following to celebrate the Golden Jubilee wedding anniversary of some close relatives:

Ek lajawab rishte' ne' aaj 50 shandaar saal poore' kiye',
Iss rishte' ki shuruaat hui thi do ajnabion ke' ittefaq milan se'.

Ek doosre' se' anjaan hote' hue' bhi,
Woh dono ek dooje' ko apna humsafar bana gaye'.

Aur zindagi ke' iss haseen safar mein,
Woh do se' chaar ho gaye'.

Apni apni taqdeer ke' har faisle' ko salaam karte' hue',
Yeh dono humsafar haathon mein haath liye',
Naa jaane' kitno ko jeene' ki raah dikhate' chale' gaye'.

Iski misaal kya doon?
Hanste' toh sabhi hain khushi ke' alam mein,
Magar inki badaulat kitne' shaksh ghum mein bhi muskurate' chale' gaye'.

Humare' aziz toh woh dono hain hi,
Magar anjaanon mein bhi woh,
Naa jaane' kitne' azizon ki mehfil sajaate' chale' gaye'.

Zindagi toh har kisi ko waqt ke' kai rang dikha jaati hai,
Magar woh dono har ek rang mein,
Naa jaane' kitne' Holi khelte' chale gaye.

Khushnaseeb hain hum,
Aur khushnaseeb hain naa jaane' kitne' log jo inki badaulat,
Ek hi saal mein naa jaane' kitne' Holi, Diwali, aur Eid manaate' chale' gaye'.

Duaon ki hawa inn dono par har taraf se' chal rahi hai,
Aaj toh hum bhi auron ke' saath isi hawa ke jhonkhon se',
Apni apni mizaaz mein raunaq laate' chale' gaye'.


   

Soch raha hoon ab aage' kya hoga?

Soch raha hoon ab aage' kya hoga?
Ab tak jo bhi hua woh kuch meetha bhi tha aur kuch khatta bhi.

Umeedein naa jaane' kitni lagai thi apni taqdeer se',
Kuch umeedein poori bhi hui kuch nahi bhi.

Shikve' zaroor hain apni taqdeer se',
Magar shukraguzaar hoon bahut kuch paakar bhi.

Suna tha humne' kabhi waqt ke' aage' kisi ki nahi chalti,
Phir bhi humne' takkar lene ki jurrat ki thi waqt se' bhi.
    
Waqt ko toh fateh naa kar saka,
Magar khud mein ek naya insaan paya uss jurrat se' bhi.

Ab aage' kya hoga kya pata,
Aur kya khabar har pal waqt ka saath hoga ya nahi.

Iss naye' josh se' ab zindagi ka saath nibhana hi hai,
Mushkil se' mushkil halaat mein bhi.   

Kitni jaldi waqt guzar jaata hai

Kitni jaldi waqt guzar jaata hai,
Apno ko bhi apne' se' kitni dooor kar deta hai.

Pal pal ka hisaab rakhna padta hai,
Nazar phirte' hi naa jaane' ek pal kahan chala jaata hai.

Aaj humne' kisi aziz ko alvida keh diya hai,
Milte' rehne' ki kasam bhi dila diya hai.

Magar zindagi ki raahon ko aaj tak kisne' pehchaana hai,
Seedhe' chalte' hue' bhi ek a ek raah badalna padta hai.

Aaj uss aziz se' khud ka khayal rakhne' ka waada toh liya hai,
Magar  kisne' unka haal poochte' rehne' ka waada kiya hai?

Zindagi ki yahi ajeeb dastaan hai,
Azizon se' bhi kai baar sabko dooor hona padta hai.
