Thode thode....

Sard raaton me kambal oodhe,
waqt guzarte rahe thode thode....

kuch din me ki kuch raat huyi baaton me,
faasle kam huye par reh gaye thode thode....

zehmat-e-jaan tab bhi tha,ab bhi hai ye,
aatish-e-ishq se bach to gaye par jal gaye thode thode....

gham aur khushi ko bas itna jaano,
har roz bulaate rahe thode thode.....

Kal Achanak...

1.
Ek baat jo atki thi akhin dil me
nikal aayi achanak
jaise koi phoda ho jo beh nikla ho,
Dard kuch kam sa ho gaya
jab lag gaye jakhmon pe marham
aur jee thoda sa halka ho gaya.....

2.
Daba ke rakho chahe jaise bhi
jab umadta hai to pyar kuch yun
barasta hai jaise sehra me huyi barish
aur dho deta hai aansuon se kabhi
to dhul ke paak ho uth.te hai hum....

Nahi aati....

Ab bahane dhoondhte hai khush hone ke;
jo kehte the ki is taraf khushi nahi aati......

Zakhm reh reh ke kuredte rehte hai ab;
unhe to dard bina neend bhi nahi aati.......

Ye wo chiraag hai jo jal to uth.te hai ;
dhuan hota hai magar roshni nahi aati......

Ek Mod......

Ek chota bachcha,
apne tapte jism ko kisi tarah
kambal me dhaape
dhand se bachne ki koshish sa karta hua,

Bukhar se tapte badan,
aur dard se bhari aankhon ke sath,
patharon ke sard bistar par
aaram sa dhoondhta hua,

Paas hi baithi uski maa,
pareshan haal rooti ke chand
tukdo ka intezam karne ko
chai ki ketli garam karti huyi,

Aur usi dukan pe thand se bachne ko
chai khareedte log,
duniya ke kai sire ek mod pe milte huye..............

Paagal....

Wo jo dar jaata hai aahat se,
aur siskiyan lene lagta hai;

uske sath kuch hua tha aisa
jisne uski awaaz cheen li aur
use hamesha ke liye awaaz
se mehroom kar diya.....

Ek roz uske jigar ke tukde ke
kisi ne do tukde kar diye,
yahin isi jageh
uski aankhon ke saamne....

Wo chillaya tha
aur bahut zor cheekha tha,
aas paas waalon se
madad ki guhar bhi lagayi thi,
Par koi saamne nahi aaya......

Uski awaaz uske seene me jam gayi hai,
aur ab jab bhi kahin
koi aahat hoti hai
wo awaaz uske seene me kulbulati hai;
Par wo kuch keh nahi paata sirf uski
siskiyan sunayi deti hai.......

Jo sun sakte hai unko
ye bahut tez sunayi deti hai;
aur jo nahi sun paate
unhe wo bas
ek paagal dikhayi deta hai......

Badlaav.....

poochte hain ki sach batao kya hai?,
aur sach batao to bura maan jaate hain....

nahi dikhne ki shikayat roz kiya karte hain,
jo dikhte hain to anjaan ban jaate hain.....

ghair kahen to tareef si lagti hai wahi baat,
jo hum kahen to ilzaam ban jaate hain.....

Tanhai kya waqai hoti hai?

Tanhai kya waqai hoti hai?
ye waqt jo mere sath chal raha hai,
mujhe kabhi akela nahi chodta...

Poora din ye suraj
mere aage peeche ghoomta rehta hai,
Ye sitaren jo mera sath dete hai
un raaton me bhi jab mera dost chaand
mere paas nahi hota.....

Mai akela kab tha?
Us din jab mai pareshan tha
maine deewaron se baat kar ke dil halka kiya tha,
Ya phir us din jab bahut khush
hokar mai aangan me phoolon ke sath
apni khushiyan baant raha tha....

Nahi tanhai kuch nahi hoti,
ye to mere dimagh ka ek fitoor tha,
jise mai seene se lagaye baitha tha....

Mai to hamesha se yahin tha
sabke beech ,sabke saamne,
magar sabse anjaan aur wo mujhse......

Voice...

One voice,
which was kept in my closet,
unperturbed and untouched,
i opened it yesterday,
some old memories which were sleeping with it,
some old thoughts who tapped their feet on this voice,
all of a sudden they all became alive..

afraid and frightened me,
locked the voice in the closet,
and threw the key in the well.
today i am again searching for the same.,..

Khamoshiyan....

Khamosh nazar,khamosh shaher ,khamosh zuban,khamosh kadam,
kuch jaage se, kuch soye se,kuch aadhe se behosh hai hum......

Ye duniya hai kuch bhigi si,kuch ulti si,kuch sidhi si,.
aur raton me,in hathon me,taqdeer jo badle hai har dum.........

Koi paata hai,koi khota hai,koi sapne roz sanjota hai,
na to zindagi hi kabhi rukti hai, na rukte hai ye tez kadam........

Barso aaj mujh par tum,
kuch waise hi jaise
mere kuch rupaye churane par
barse the....

usi adhikar se tum
aaj mujh par hath uthao,
cheekho-chillao,
mujhse kaho ki mai kitna ghalat hoon.....

meri nadaniyon pe ab
tum kuch kyo nahi kehte?
kya mai wakai bada ho gaya hoon?
nahi shayad abhi nahi..

Tum kuch bhi karo
Par mujhe wo purana
Pyaar bhara gussa lauta do....
