Mera mann kuch keh raha hai

Mera mann kuch keh raha hai,
Awaaz dil ki dharkanon tak pahunch rahi hain,
Aaj ki yeh barsaat kuch beimann si lag rahi hai,
Armaan ab kuch aise' jaag rahe' hain.

Mann keh raha hai sambhal jaa,
Kahin yeh kadam phisal naa jaayein,
Dil samajha raha hai yeh nadaani ka junoon hai,
Kahin hum badnaam naa ho jaayein.

Magar phir bhi naa jaane' kyon?
Yeh bheenga hua sama mere' dil-o-dimag se' kashmakash kar raha hai.

"Aaj apne' armaanon ko anjaam de' hi do,
Aaj khud ko buland kar hi do."

Nadaani ki aaghosh mein kai aise' waise' khayal aa rahe' hain,
Ek-a-ek woh samajh jaag rahi hai,
Muskura kar iss bheenge' mausam ko dobara samajh rahe' hain,
Yeh toh badalte' sama ka ek aur rukh hai,
Yahi samajh kar khud ko hum sambhaal rahe' hain.

Aapki iss jashn-e-salgirah ke' mubarak mauke' par

Composed the following on birthday of a dear colleague:


Aapki iss jashn-e-salgirah ke' mubarak mauke' par,
Aapko kya nazar karoon?

Lambi umar ki duayein ki toh jaise' barsaat ho gayi ho,
Ab aapki lambi umar ko kya dohraoon?

Aapki saadgi aur dilon par chaa jaane' wali andaaz ki tareef kar,
Kyon naa innko salaamat rehne' ki duayein dooon?

Khuda kare' aapka yeh mubarak din saalon saal aata rahe',
Magar kyon naa aapki sabke' dilon pe' raaj karne' ki ada ki salaamati bhi karoon?

Salaam hai aap sabke' iss salaamat alam ki

Salaam hai aap sabke' iss salaamat alam ki,
Muskurahaton ki yeh behtareen nazaron ki.

Mayoosi ke' alam mein baithe' baithe' oob gaye' the',
Naseeb ho hi gayi mujhe' aap sab ki mubarak nazaaron ki.

Zindagi ki iss din raat ki jung mein,
Kai milte' hain,
kai milke' juda bhi ho jaate' hain.

Magar unn sabse' alagh,
Naseeb hui mujhe' aapke' mehekte' hue' baharon ki.

Kuch hum keh rahe' hain

Kuch hum keh rahe' hain,
Kuch unka paigham aa raha hai.

Awaazein idhar udhar se' toh kai aa rahi hain,
Magar unka paigham dil se' dil mein aa raha hai.

Mahaul hai kisi jashn ka,
Jashn-e-mehfil mein hum bhi shareek hain,
Magar tanhai ka mazaa naa jaane' kyon hum dono ko aa raha hai.

Jee chahta hai kahin dooor chale'  jayein,
Jahaan ki rasam bhi ada kar rahe' hain,
Yeh toh kabhi naa khatm hone' waala usool hai.

Kya kamaal hai do dilon ke beech,
Buland awaazon ke' beech,
Anjaane' logon ke' beech.

Kisi se' apnepan ke' andaaz samajh rahe' hain,
Kya hoga ab hamara?
Yeh soch ab zehen mein aa raha hai.

Hum dono ki yeh ajab dastaan yoonhi ho gayi

Just remembered some fond moments during my college days, and composed the following in remembrance to those memorable days☺️☺️

Hum dono ki yeh ajab dastaan yoonhi ho gayi,
Soch rahe' the' pehele' woh ya pehele' hum?
Magar hamare' dilon mein woh jugalbandi yoonhi ho gayi.

Kabhi toh nazar se' hi guftagu karte' the',
Khud ko tasalli dete' the' ke' baat shayad ban gayi,
Magar phir bhi hamare' mann aur dilon mein,
Naa samajhi yoonhi ho gayi.

Himmat chahiye' thi agle' kadam ke' liye',
Dil ke' jazbaat honthon mein naa jaane' kaise' yoonhi aa gayi.

Hans rahe' the' hum donon,
Kab tak nazron se' yoonhi khelte' rehte?
Samajh iss baat ki ek- a -ek hum donon mein yoonhi aa gayi.

Aage' kaa haal toh khuda jaane',
Kya hoga hum donon ke' iss deewanepan ka?
Yeh fikar kaun kare?
iss haqiqat ki samajh hum donon mein yoonhi aa gayi.👌👌

Koi aziz aaj intekaal farma gaya

Koi aziz aaj intekaal farma gaya,
Gaye' the' uske' janaaze' pe'.

Ghum mein doobe' kai log mile',
Ashkon ki jaise' barsaat ho rahi thi.

Magar kuch yeh bhi keh rahe' the',
Unhone' achi umar guzaar li,
Ab Khuda ne' unhe' saari taqleefon se' azaadi baksh di.

Mera bhi mann kuch mayoos tha,
Unhone' mujhe' naa jaane' kitni duayein bakshi thi.

Mila toh unse' kabhi kabhi tha,
Magar uss buzurg ne' har waqt meri khairiyat ki duayein ki thi.

Hum shayad yeh faisla kar hi nahi paayeinge',
Ke' humein aaj mayoosi ke' lamhe' naseeb hue',
Ya Khuda ke' iss faisle' ko khushi se' kabool karna chahiye'?

Haan yeh zindagi toh aane' jaane' ka doosra naam hai,
Iss haqiqat ko naa chahte' hue' bhi,
Khushi khushi kabool karna chahiye'.  

Raahon par saath chalte' chalte'

Raahon par saath chalte' chalte',
Kuch humsafar kitne' kareeb ho jaate' hain.

Lagta hai jaise',
Woh koi gair nahi apne' hi hain.

Zindagi ka yeh safar kitna mushkil kyon naa ho,
Kuch humsafar ke' badaulat,
Yeh raahein kisi gulistaan ki tarah lagne' lagte' hain.

Ek-a-ek kisi morh par,
Kisi ka saath yoonhi khatm ho jaata hai.

Manzilein apni apni alagh ho jaate' hain,
Majboorian aur halaat bhi apne' asar dikhaate' hain.

Woh raahein jo kabhi kisi gulistaan ki tarah lagte' the',
Ab kisi registaan ki tarah lagne' lagte' hain.

Suhaani shaam bhi kadi dhoop mein badal jaati hai,
Aur halki si thokar bhi,
Koi kayamat lagne' lagti hai.

Akele' chalte' rehne' ki aadat,
Ab seekh hi leni  chahiye',

Magar mil jaane' par,
Aise' sachche' humsafar ki kadar karte' rehni bhi chahiye'.

Kya pata aur kya khabar?
Kab uska saath khatm ho jaaye'?
Iski fikar toh kabhi karni hi nahi chahiye'.
