tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi

har taraf har jagah beshumaar aadmi,
phir bhi tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi.

subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua,
apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi.

har taraf bhaagte-daudte raashte,
har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi.

roz jeeta hua, roz marta hua,
har naye din naya intezaar aadmi.

zindagi ka mukaddar safar dar safar,
aakhiri shaans tak bekaraar aadmi.

har taraf har jagah beshumaar aadmi,
phir bhi tanhaaiyon ka shikaar aadmi.

woh bhi kya din the jab bas khilone tutta karte the

woh bhi kya din the jab bas khilone tutta karte the,
girte the aanshu, par do pal ko rutha karte the.

khil-khila kar hansti thi khushiyaan,
alvida keh kar bhi kahan chhuta karte the.

baras ke sawan humein hansaya karta tha,
pyara sa bachpan hardum khushiya lutaya karta tha,

baba ke kandhon par baith dekhte the duniya,
sara zamana hum par sar jhukaya karta tha.

woh din woh bachpan bahut yaad aata hai,
woh zindagi phir jeene ko dil lalchaata hai.

sawal tujhse aye bhagwan aur niyati se bhi,
kyon itni jaldi ek baccha bada ho jata hai?

aise hain mere paa..

nariyal ko dekha hai na gaur se?
upar se sakkt, ander se kitna narm-mulayam,
ekdum malaayi sa, bilkul aise hain... mere paa.

maa ki tarah loori nahi sunaate,
meri aanshuon ko aachal nahi thamaate to kya?
anguli pakkad kar zindagi ke kathor dharatal par,
pehla kadam rakh chalna sikhate.. mere paa.

thokar khaa kar girne par

dard ko sehna sikhaate.. mere paa.

maa ki tarah parilok ki sair nahi karate,
duniya ki uchh-nichh bhi nahi samjhate to kya?
mere imhetaan mein mere sath raat bhar jaagte,
mere liye chaai banate.. mere paa.

mere behtar kal ke liye,
apna sunehara aaj kharch karte.. mere paa.

maa ki tarah gale nahi lagate,
meri yaad mein aanshu nahi bahate to kya?
chup-chaap mujhe niharate,
khaamosh nigaahon se sab kuch keh jaate.. mere paa.

mere jaane ke baad udaas akele 

mujhe mere kamare mein dhundate.. mere paa.

o maai - o maai...

ambar ki uchaai, dharti ki yeh gehraari,
tere hridaay mein samayi.. o maai - o maai.
tere mann amrit ka pyaala, yehi kaaba yehi shivaala,
teri mamta paawan-daayi, o maai - o maai.

hamesa tere sath hi rahoon, main bankar tera humjoli,
tere pas naa jaaun.. chip jaaun, yuh kehlun main aankh micholi,
pariyon ki kahani suna de, koi mithi loori gaa de,
kar de sapna sukhdaayi, o maai - o maai.

sansaar ke taane baane se ghabrata hai mann mera,
inn jhuthe rishton-naaton mein, bas pyaar hai tera hi saccha,
sab sukh-dukh mein dhal jaaye, teri baahein jo mil jaaye,
mil jaaye mujhe khudaayi, o maai - o maai.

phir koi shararat ho mujhse, naaraz karun phir tujhko,
phir gale pe thappi maar ke, shinne se laga le mujhko,
bachpan ki pyaas bujha de, apne haath se phir khila de,
pallu mein band mithai, o maai - o maai.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...!!

bebas hoker apne maa baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon

chupke chupke mann hi mann mein,
khudko rotta dekh raha hoon,
bebas hoker apne maa-baap ko,

bimaaar hota dekh raha hoon.

rachha hai bachpan ki aankhon mein,

khilla-khilla sa maa baap ka rupp,

jaise jaade ke mausam mein ho,

naram-garam makhmal si dhoop.

dhire dhire sapnon ke iss rupp ko,

aankhon se ojhal hota dekh raha hoon,

iss covid ki maha-maari mein,

bebas ho kar unko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

kal tak tha jo sab sawra sa, ek chota sa apna bhi duniya,

chutt raha ho dhire dhire, maa baap ke saath ka saaya bhi,

chinn raha ho waqt jaise unke baaton bhara khazana bhi.

ghar ke malik ko aaj hospital ICU par 

bimaar tardpata dekh raha hoon,

bebas ho kar apne maa-baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

chupke chupke mann hi mann mein,

khudko roota dekh raha hoon,

bebas ho kar apne maa-baap ko bimaar hota dekh raha hoon.

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga,
doston ab shayad main laut kar nahi aaunga.

par yeh bhi to ek sach baat hai, jo bithe aap sab ke saath,
woh mitthe pal main kabhi nahi bhool paaunga,

par aaj main bhi yahan se khali haath nahi jaaunga,
main jaroor apni yaadon ki mehek yahi chhord jaaunga.

jaanta hoon kahi dil tutte hain meri nadaaniyon se,
par aaj jaate jaate main aap sab se maafi maangna chahunga,

aap ko jo bhi ho mujhse sikhwe gile.. ser aankhon par,
main aaj aap sabhhi ko dua dete jaaunga.

aaj hoon kuch doston ke dilo mein,
par ek din unki yaadon se bhi mit jaaunga.

aaj hoon thoda mashoor aap doston ki badolat,
par waqt ke chalte hi issi bheed mein kahin kho jaaunga.

bas yun hi haste haste chala jaaunga,
doston ab shayad main laut kar nahi aaunga.

jaane kis roz hum yeh baat samajh paayenge

jhoote sapne aankhon mein kab tak hum sajaayenge,
tut jaane par unke.. phir aanshu hum bahaayenge,

hain hum insaan, insaan hona khud mein ek sazaa,
jaane kis roz hum yeh baat samajh paayenge.

jeena humko hai khokle rivaazon ko nibhaate huye,
dharm-o-mazhab ke issi bandhan mein jeeye jaayenge,

hote jo pancchi, naa baandh paati sarhadein bhi humein,
hain jo insaan, bebas bin pankhon ke kahaan jaayenge?

reh jaayegi yeh zindaagi bhi ek samjhauta bankar,
jaan kar bhi hum kuch naa kar paayenge.

na jaane kitna tannha ho gaya hoon

pattharon ki basti mein jo kho gaya hoon,
isliye bejubaan sa ho gaya hoon.

dum nikalta hai sans lene se,
zindagi se pareshan ho gaya hoon.

ab to zakhmon ka bhi ehsas nahi,
na jaane kitna tannha ho gaya hoon.

sabra ummeedon se nahi hota,
main khud bhi ek dilasa ho gaya hoon.

nigah khamosh itni ho gayi hai,
unhein lagata hai jaise soo gaya hoon.

yun halaat ke hathon mein aaj,
main toota ek khilouna ho gaya hoon.

udasi ka mausam kabhi humara na tha

dil to tere saath tha, tujhe hi yeh gawara na tha,
humne manga uss jahan ko, jo kabhi humara na tha.

tum kehte ho pyaar kamjor tha humara,
kya pyar dene ka kuch farz tumhara na tha?

jeene ki aas chordna bhi kaise chahein,
saans lene ka faisla akele humara na tha.

shiddhat se intezaar kiya har saans ne tera,
yeh baat aur hai, kabhi tumhe pukaara na tha.

iss kadar bikhre hain arsh par sapne meri jaan,
ek tere siva duniya mein koi humara na tha.

aa jana raahon mein kisi gaier ke sath bhi,
sochenge iss dil par kabhi hak humara na tha.

bahaaron ne kar diya bedakhal apni duniya se,
varna udasi ka mausam kabhi humara na tha.

ab toh tutt ke girne ko betaab hain,
akele sab sehne ka dum humara na tha.

koi apna nahi banta

koi apna nahi banta,
labon pe naam rakhne se,
dilon mein yaad karne se,
har ek dhardkan, har ek tardpan,
kisi ke naam karne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

tamam umar ki khushiyan,
mohabbat ki sabhi gheraiyan,
kisi ko daan karne se,
ke uspe maan karne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

woh pehle pyaar ki baatein,
saath nishta ki sabhi raatein,
woh chaahat ki sabhi rashmein,
mohabbat ki sabhi kashmein,
humesha yaad rakhne se,
koi apna nahi banta.

kisi tannha akeli raah guzar par,
purane se kisi perd k tanna par,
patthar se koi dil banane se,
uss mein apna aur kisi ka naam sajane se,
koi apna nahi banta.

ki jab aankhein hi marr jayein,
to phir sapna nahin banta,
yeh jeewan daan kar jayein,
to bhi apna nahi banta,
koi apna nahin banta.

chahaat ko raakh hote dekh li

mohabbat ki sab rangat dekh li,
dil tordne ke sab harkat dekh li,
cheen li dillse dadkan kuch iss tarah,
dard mein jalne ki aag dekh li.

askh chalkengein tumari yaad mein,
jazbaat machlenge.. tardapkar,
toot kar chaahat ke andaaz sanam,
aaj kaise marrenge.. raah dekh li.

pyaar mein kabhi palat kar bulate,
har gham yunhi apne seene mein
sab ki nazron se chuppa late,
aaj lut jaane ki nazaakat dekh li.

dukhaya hai iss kadar mann ko,
sazaa dey bhi saanam magar
jaante hain.. lahu mera hi bahega,
khanzar ki dhaar aaj humne dekh li.

uth gaya hai aitbaar jahaan se sathi,
mit gayin hain sari tamannayein,
kho jaayengi saari hasratein khakh mein,
chahaat ko raakh hote dekh li.

kaun ho tum..

kaun ho tum..? 

kyon mujhse door nahi bhagti ho tum,
mere soone ke baad bhi kyon jaagti ho tum,
aakhir kis haq se pal-pal ka hisaab mangti ho tum?

mere paas uss khuda ki amanat ho tum,
mere seene ki sanso ki chhahat ho tum,
mujh par bewajha jo huyi woh inayat ho tum,
kyon mujhse har pal kayi sawal karti ho tum,
kyon mere liye pal-pal tardpti ho tum?

aakhir kab tak main kaid rahounga teri aagosh mein,
kis din meri ruh ko sakoon milega,
mere jism ko aakhir kab chhordoge tum,
meri sanso se nata kab tordoge tum?

mujhe tumse to aakhir koi gila nahi,
kya hai tere paas jo mujhe mila nahi,
na jaane bahar mein bhi kyon

mera chaman khila nahi,
shayad mere hi naseeb mein aakhir sila nahi,

tujhse bas yehi mujhe shikayat hai,
kyon ab tak mujh pe meharba ho tum,
mere sunne ghar mein aaj bhi mehma ho tum,
mere wajood ka bas aakhri nisha ho tum,

o zindagi aaj mujhe azaad kar de tu,
mere naseeb mein maut ka rang bhar de tu,
meri sansein chhinkar aakhri ehsaan kar de tu,
kyon mujhse waffa kiye jaa rahi ho tum?

jeene ki chhahat ab iss dil mein baki nahi,
iss maikhane mein koi bhi mera saki nahi,
tu ab humein koi nayi rah dikhati nahi,
aakhir kyon humse maut ka rishta nibhati nahi?

o zindagi jaa chhor de mera daman,
teri kaid main ab ghut raha hai mera mann,
tu mujhe azaad kar de...

mere naseeb mein maut ka rang bhar de.

jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa

jo mila uski khushi kaisa, jo khoya uska rona kaisa,
bahar mein ujrde chaman ko, patjhard se bachana kaisa,

tumhari inayaton ka zikar phir kabhi hoga mere dost,
zakham-e-dosti na ho jis mein, woh dil ka afsana kaisa,

manzil par pounch kar bhi karwa ki talash hi rahi,
acha tha hazum ke saath chalna, yun tannha chalna kaisa,

haath se haath kya milana, dil se dil milaao to jaane,
haath mein khanzar dil mein nafrat, yun yaaron se milna kaisa.

taaro ko chand ke paimanaye mein bhar kar kabhi to pilaao,
ashq bhari ankhon ke paimane mein roz-roz pilana kaisa,

khamoshi ki gunj mein cher ke dil ka saz gun-gunaya karo,
lab-e-khamosh se behron ki mehfil mein gun-gunana kaisa,

apne hi dil ke kone mein dhondho us talash ko,
yun tannha parbat-parbat mare-mare phirna kaisa.

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi

woh ho gaye paraya phir bhi yakin nahi,
ek aarjoo hai baki dil mein kahi kahin.

tumhein pa kar bhi kya paya,
tumhein kho kar kya kho diya,
phir kyun koi malaal hai dil mein kahi kahin.

na woh rishta na silsila hi raha,
tujhse na koi rabta hi raha,
phir kyun teri yaadein hain dil mein kahi kahin.

door tak nazaron mein hain waki veeraniya,
mujhko rula rahi hain teri nishaniyaan,

koi dard sa uthta hai dil mein kahi kahin.
mujhko maloom hai too lautker na aayega,

aur mera bulana bhi fizul jayega,
phir kyun milan ki aash hai dil mein kahi kahin.

kya in halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar

kya khabar thi iss tarah hi jeena hoga umra bhar,
dard -e- dil seene mein lekar jeena hoga umra bhar,

socha tha kuch roz baad hum bhi muskurayenge,
socha na tha aanshuon ko peena hoga umra bhar.

maine bhi uff na kara aur woh bhi satate rahe,
socha tha ki yeh to unse bhi na hoga umra bhar.

soch badali hai kabhi na soch badalegi kabhi,
aadmi ko apni tarah jeena hoga umra bhar.

har din ke inteham par yeh sochta hoon,
kya in halat mein hi jeena hoga umra bhar.

chala tha jis manzil ki aur woh safar to kanton bhara taz nikla

chala tha jis manzil ki aur, woh safar to kanton bhara taz nikla,
jurde jitne humrah mujhse, unke dil mein kewal zahar-e- alfaz nikla.

tha athah samunder mere samne zindagi ka lekin,
utarna chaha jab bhi sahil mein, tufano ka kafila aaj nikla.

kaise logo ko bataun kin mushkilo se uchaai par pahucha hoon,
jab suna logo se aapne bare mein, shabd ghamandi nikla.

yeh to sach hai dil ka thoda bura to main bhi hoon lekin,
jhanka mere dil mein kisi ne bhi, kuch aur hi manzar khaas nikla.

diya tha jo dard pahle kabhi mujhe mere gaaon ne,
wahi iss shahar ke logo par ban kar aawaaz nikla.

wajha to zaroor hai.. par mujhe pata nahi

ek ghutan si hai wajha pata nahi,
wajha to zaroor hai.. par mujhe pata nahi. 

dhardkan bhi tez hai pairo mein dhool bhi,
gaya tha main kaha.. mujhe pata nahi. 

mehfil mein tha har dum kisi ka intazaar,
par kaun tha woh.. mujhe pata nahi. 

koi tha bhi pass kabhi mujhe yaad nahi,
yaa kho gaya hai koi.. mujhe pata nahi. 

sayaa hai kisi ka mere ru-baru,
par hai kis taraf.. mujhe pata nahi. 

rehta hai aksar seene mein dard sa,
kaha hai mera shanti.. mujhe pata nahi. 

kaha tha kisi ko main tera hoon shayad,
suna bhi tha usne.. mujhe pata nahi. 

zulm to hua hai, dil par zakhm bhi hai,
par kya hai yeh kis ne mujhe pata nahi. 

zamane se hum ne wafa ki hai humesha,
kaun kehta hai sab bewafaa.. mujhe pata nahi. 

chala tha koi saath manzil ki taraf meri,
chhuta kaha haath.. mujhe pata nahi. 

kehte hain sabhi, tu pagal hai kya raaj
hai ek jawaab iska.. par mujhe pata nahi. 

koi zulm dhaata raha zindagi bhar

koi zulm dhaata raha zindagi bhar,
koi muskuraata raha zindagi bhar.

ho kaatein ke sholey na ki fikr koi,
woh daaman sajaata raha zindagi bhar.

woh kahta usse gham laga hi nahi hai,
to kyon muskuraata raha zindagi bhar.

haan ghar mein siwaa uske koi nahi tha,
woh kiski sunaata raha zindagi bhar.

thi maasum si kuch baras ki kahaani,
woh bachpan lubhaata raha zindagi bhar.

tha mera shajar yun hawaa ka khilauna,
main tinke jutata raha zindagi bhar.

us insaan ko yun khuda kar chale the,
woh minnat karaata raha zindagi bhar.

kahi kisi ka dil naa tute

chaahe kahin koi apna roothe,
chaahe kahin koi sapna tute. 

dil hai mandir, dil hain masjid,
dil hai shiwaala, dil naa tute. 

roothe to roothe saari duniya,
rab hai apna, rab naa roothe. 

sukhe chaahe darya-nadiyaan,
dil ka niraala, perd naa sukhe. 

meri manzil door bahut hai,
koi naa mera raasta roke. 

phool milenge kaise tum ko,
baithe ho tum kaante boh ke. 

sab ki manzil dil ki galiyaan,
jaana hai ab dil se hoke. 

dil ka rishta bilkul sachha,
iss ke aage saare jhuthe. 

khushbu wafa ki baandh ke rakhna,
khol naa dena, dil ke jharoke. 

hum ko sada hai pyaar ki chaahat,
khawab piroye hum ne shok se.

lafzoan ki hai mala lekin,
pesh kiya hai dil ko piro ke. 

jab bhi hum ne, dil ko dukhaaya,
deta hai dil, hum ko kacho ke. 

dhoond rahe ho, iss mein wafa tum,
khaaye jabke laakhon dhokhe. 

mann mein shree raam ka naam lo

zindagi bhar kisi ka na ehsaan lo,
baat hai yeh sahi, baat yeh maan lo. 

de-do, de-do mujhe apne runj-o-alam,
chaho badle mein to tum meri jaan lo. 

chaaho to cheen lo, mera sabr-o-karaar,
na kabhi cheen kar, mera emaan lo. 

jab kabhi, dil mein jaage koi vaasna
mann mein us ghadi,  shree raam ka naam lo. 

na kinaare pe reh kar nazaara karo,
gar hai himmat jo dil mein, to tufan lo. 

ho irrade atal, to aye dost khauf kyun,
jeetna hai yeh baazi, dil mein tum tthan lo.
