Chill is in the air

Composed the following yesterday:

"Chill is in the air,
Winters are at their peak.

But a festive occasion has lulled the chill,
Warmth of greetings and merry making flowing across are also at their peak.

It's nothing to do with a particular religion or faith,
Unifying each fun loving person.

Wines, cakes, turkey, bacon, preparations are galore,
Feast lovers appetites are at their peak.

Religious divides have withered away,
Who cares for his or her religious identity today?

It's an occasion for rejoicing and feasting,

Joys today are at their peak."

Merry Christmas to all✌️✌️👍😍

Kahin dooor se' kuch sureele' awaazein aa rahi hain

Kahin dooor se' kuch sureele' awaazein aa rahi hain,
Koi masti ke' alam mein gaane' ga raha hai.

Shayad jaam ne' bhi apna kamaal kar dikhaya hai,
Ussko ab poore' masti ke' mahaul mein dooba diya hai.

Kya pata ussko bhi hum jaise' kaiyon ki tarah naa jaane' kitne' fikar honge'?
Magar iss waqt usko apne' tamam fikaron ki kahan fikar hai?

Jeene' ka yahi toh ek raaz hai,
Kabhi jaam ke' sahare' toh kabhi gaano ke sahare',
Har kisi ko khud ko khudi se' hi chupana hi padta hai. 

Aapke' salgirah ke' iss mubarak mauke' par

Composed the following as a birthday gift for a friend:

Aapke' salgirah ke' iss mubarak mauke' par,
Mai koi nazrana khoj raha hoon.

Jo aaj tak shayad hi aapko naseeb hua ho,
Waisa koi ajooba dhoond raha hoon.

Daulat, sona, chandi jaisi cheezein shayad kaion ki joostaju hogi,
Magar inn sabko bhi pheeka karne' waali,
Mai kisi karishme' ke' baare soch raha hoon.

Meri iss aarzoo ki kya kimat lagaoge?
Ab aapke' jawab ka intezaar kar raha hoon.

Khamosh mahaul mein aaj hum tanhai ki talash karte' hain

Khamosh mahaul mein aaj hum tanhai ki talash karte' hain,
Magar mann hi mann mein hi kuch shor sunne' lage' hain.

Sukoon ki umeed lekar humne' toh aaj tanhai ko gale' lagaya hai,
Magar andar hi andar kisi hulchal ki khabar nahi hai.

Mahaul mein chand ka woh lajawab nazara hai,
Hawa ke' jhonke' bhi jaise'  masti  ke' alam mein hain,
Magar phir bhi jaise' andar hi andar jaise' koi kashmakash si hai.

Sukoon ki aarzoo lekar bas yoonhi baitha hoon,
Ek a ek kuch azizon ne' mujhe' yoonhi yaad kiya.

Unke saath baaton hi baaton mein humne' ab sukoon paa liya hai,
Auron ke' beech hote' hue' bhi tanhai ka kuch alagh andaz bhi dekh liya hai.   

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.
