woh kaun hai?

mere dil ko dukhaane waali kaun hai,
meri khushiyan mitaane waali kaun hai,

mujhko gaali dete ho keh kar paagal,
mujhe paagal banaane waali kaun hai,

mujhko be-ghar kar diya ab rooti ho,
mere ghar ko jalaane waali kaun hai,

aaj mere dushmano ne raaz khola hai,
mere yaaron ko behkaane waali kaun hai,

mohabbat fareb hai dhokha hai zindagi,
mujhe mehsoos yeh karaane waali kaun hai,

lag ke mere saath chhun rahi ho tinnke,
aandhiyon ko raasta bataane waali kaun hai,

meri arthi dekh kar hairaan hoti ho?
meri musibatein bardhaane waali kaun hai,

ishq mein deewaana kaun.. tum ke main
raah mein aankhein bichhane waali kaun hai,

haye.!! koi to utthao haath pochta hoon main
mujhko seene se lagaane waali kaun hai,

mere shayari sunn kar poochti ho logon se
aisa bhi likhne-likhaane waali kaun hai?

patthar ke sanam se ab koi ummid rakh nahi sakte

kasam pyar ki intezaar mein ab hum jee nahi sakte,
mohabbat karne walon ki aur imtihaan le nahi sakte,

patthar ke sanam se ab koi ummid rakh nahi sakte,
saagar ki lehron ko kinare par hum rok nahi sakte,

har jharne pahard se guzar kar saagar se mil nahi sakte,
har toofan kahi kamjoor naav ko duba bhi nahi sakte,

mar mar ke to jee hi rahe the ab hum mar nahi sakte,
phool ko iss tarah kuchal gaye ki ab murjha bhi nahi sakte,

jeevan ke kuch raaz aaise chhupa ye chhup nahi sakte,
jooth se hi kaam chala lete hai sachchaai samajh nahi sakte,

har khushi kisi ek ke naseeb ho aisi galti vidhaata kar nahi sakte,
chahe kuch bhi kar lo har gham humhari jholi mein samaa nahi sakte.

tu hi bata monika

aaj bhi dhardkan ruk jaati hai teri aahat se,
aaj bhi teri yaadein sirf meri hain,

aaj bhi aanshu aate hain tere liye meri aankho se,
aaj bhi teri kami mere liye aadhuri hai,

har ek khayal ke saath tu meri saanso mein chali aati hai,
andar hi andar dil ko bahut jalati hai,

sochta hoon teri yaadon ko juda kar doon khud se,
par juda karte hi tu aur yaad aati hai,

saaanso se badkar hai yaadein teri jeene ke liye,
tu hi bata kaise rok loon aanshu, jo tune in aankhon mein diye?

har ek annshu mein teri surat nazar aati hai,
tu hi bata monika, tu itna mujhe kyun yaad aati hai? 

ek shayar jo hamesa muskurana chaahta tha

soyi kismat ko jagaana chaahta tha,
ruthe dilbar ko manaana chaahta tha,
chaahta tha main usko hudd se jyada,
phir mujhe woh kyun rulaana chaahta tha.

uske dil mein aa gaya tha soch kar
rehne ko main ek thikana chaahta tha,
pyaar mujhko na mila iss duniya mein,
kehne ko to mujhko zamaana chaahta tha.

meri yaadein usske dil ka thi sukun
phir woh mujhko kyun bhulana chaahta tha,
marr gaya mujh mein woh jo ek shaks tha,
har haal mein ussko main  par bachaana chaahta tha.

hai hakeeqat.. usne mujhko tord daala,
main bhi shayad tut hi jaana chaahta tha,
karke ansuna mujhse mera humsafar,
jaane kya mujhse chupana chaahta tha.

mujhko tannha jaan kar woh kabhi,
apne seene se lagaana chaahta tha,
ho kar khada woh aaine ke saamne,
aaine ko kuch bataana chaahta tha.

chatpatata reh gaya dil ka kabutar
teer teri aankhon se khana chaahta tha,
tujhse hokar paraya mera humsafar,
dil ke rishtey ko main nibhaana chaahta tha.

uske seene mein dhadakna chaahta tha,
ruh mein usski samaana chaahta tha,
saari duniya ko chala kar aa gaye hum,
aur woh humko chalaana chaahta tha.

thi iss tarah mujhko talab uss shaks ki,
har haal mein main ussko paana chaahta tha,
meri kareeb aa raha tha usska har kadam,
woh jo door jaane ka bahaana chaahta tha.

zindagi par apni likhta hai raaj
ek shayar jo hamesa muskurana chaahta tha.

marrne ke tarike aur bhi the

mushkil jabse humne chun liya,
khudk-hushi ke tarike aur bhi the,

ishq kiya tujhe khuda banaya,
kafir banne ke tarike aur bhi the.

teri saanson se khud ko mehkaya,
ittar bazaar mein aur bhi the,
honthon pe tera naam hardam,
mala japne ke tarike aur bhi the.

tere jism se aag li jalane ko,
maachis bazaar mein aur bhi the,
paiymaane bhar diye teri aankhon se,
maikhaane waise aur bhi the.

dooriyan mitate to kuch achha hota

yeh dooriyan mitate to kuch achha hota,
hum jo ek raah pe aate to kuch achha hota,

nafrat ki aag laga ke door kyun jaate ho,
pyar ke deep jalate to kuch achha hota,

chahat ke jahan mein hai pahunchne ki tamanna dil mein,
woh kabhi humko paas bulate to kuch achha hota,

jinko pane ki tamanna mein hum jiye ja rahe hai,
hum unka pata bhi pate to kuch achha hota,

maksad-aye-zindagi jinhone humko diye hai,
jaan-o-dil unpe lutate to kuch achha hota.

all I need is your smile

please give me a pill for this pain
and don’t let me feel love’s disdain,

come sew my bleeding heart
let not renewing love rip it apart,

please help me stop this crying
cover my eyes please,
so tears stop falling.

I know this feeling won’t last forever
but help, it’s hurting now more than ever.

please handle with care,
I am fragile.

all I need is your smile
to mend this torn heart
so I wake to a new start
