dheere dheere umar kat jaati hai

dheere dheere umar kat jaati hai,
jeewan yaadon ki pushtak ban jaati hai,

kabhi kisi ki yaad bahut tadpaati hai,
aur kabhi yaadon ke sahare zindagi kat jaati hai. 

yeh ghadi hai shayed izhaar ki

kuch khumaar yahan par chhaya hai,
jo nazar yahan par aaya hai.

sandesh se baatein kerne ka
andaaz naya ek aaya hai.

yahan khili khili kisi ki jaan hai,
wahan mand mand muskaan hai,

yeh ghadi hai shayed izhaar ki,
ya saajish hai yeh pyaar ki?  

bas aisi koi aa jaaye

yun khilna chahta hoon gulshan ki tarah main,
ki yeh zindagi bahaar ban jaaye,

dekhun usse to palke hi na kholun phir main,
bas aisi koi aa jaaye.

haan dekhunga bas usko hi main,
ki jab tak woh dil mein na bas jaaye,

haan rahe woh dil mein hardum mere,
bas aisi koi aa jaaye.

pehechaana jaaye usse naam se mere,
aur naam uska pehechaan meri ban jaaye,

bas khoyi rahe woh hurdum mujh mein,
bas aisi koi aa jaaye.

ek choti si love story

na yeh chemistry hoti, na main student hota,
na yeh lab hoti na yeh accident hota.

abhi practical mein aaye nazar ek larki,
test tube jaisi sundar thi naak uski,

baton mein uski glucose ki mithas thi,
sanson mein ester ki khushbu bhi sath thi,

aankhon se jhalakta tha kuch iss taranh ka pyaar,
bin piye hi ho jata tha alcohol ka khumar,

benzene sa hota tha uski presence ka ehsas,
andhere mein hota tha radium ka abhas

nazrein mileen, reaction hua,
kuch iss taranh love ka production hua,

lagne lage us ke ghar ke chakkar aise,
nucleus ke charon taraf electron hon jaise,

us din hamare test ka confirmation hua,
jab uske daddy se humara introduction hua,

sun kar hamari baat woh aise uchal parde,
ignesium tube mein jaise sodium bharak uthe,

woh bole, hosh mein aao, pehchano apni aukkat,
iron mil nahin sakta kabhi gold ke sath.

yeh sun kar tutta humare armanon bhara beaker,
aur hum chup rahe benzaldehyde ka karwa ghoont pee kar,

ab us ki yaadon ke siwa humara kam chalta na tha,
aur lab mein humare dil ke siva kuch aur jalta na tha.

ek dost ka rishta

ek dost ka rishta hi hota hai saccha,
na woh do-mukhi, na woh swarthy, 

na usse kuch paane ki chaah, 

na usse kuch dene ki takleef,

bas woh to hota hai ek

niswarth chhalakta hua rishta.

jis-se tum kuch chhupate nahi,
jiska marham bina mange hi pa lete ho kabhi.

jiska saath hi hota hai har mord par sambal,
jiske saath tum baant lete ho kai baatein unkahi. 

aye dost woh ek dost hi to hai saccha iss jahan mein,
pati-patni, bhai-behan, bacche aur

baki sab rishte jo aaj swarth se hai bhare,
kuch na kuch umeed humse liye huye. 

koi nahi samajhta humari bekrariya,
har koi hai saath mein bas khushiyan hi baatta.

ek bas dost hi hai jo har sukh-dukh mein apne saath hai,
varna iss duniya mein to aye-dost jeena hi bekar hai.

mat dekho bahaar se koi sapana

ek roj ek kali ko yuhi ek khayaal aaya,

jaan loon mujhe kaun pehchaan paaya,

kis-kis ne mujh ko hai jaana,

kaise-kaise mujhe pehchaana,

yeh soch kaali bihas padi,

ek bhramar se woh puch gayi,

o bhramar! batao zara,

kya hain tera mera vaasta?

suno tum hi ho chahat meri,

adh-khili ho mohabbat meri,

jhumate phool jo usko dikha,

wahi prasn usne duhraaya,

batao zara kya hoon main?

kis vaaste yeha reh rahi main?

kali tu adhuri roop humaari,

badi ho banegi saheli pyaari,

yeh sun paas ki pattiyo ko dekha,

wahi sawal phir waha bhi utha.

berukhi se unhone jawab diya,

tum kuch nahi ho humaare bina,

khud ki pehchaan, kya tum ho kar rahi,

humare bina kya tum jeeti.. marti.

kali udaas ho gayi,

dekh yeh nisthurata ro padi,

yun dekh kaanton ne kaha,

mat ro, humein bhi sun zara,

tum shringaar ho humaare,

tum pe sab apna dil vaare,

surya-rashmiyon ke liye jhankaar ho,

sabka chhalakata pyaar ho.

yeh sunkar bhi kali hans na saki,

dard dil ko bhool na saki,

malin uska chehara ho gaya tha,

dard anshun ban bah raha tha.

hansta hua main dekh raha tha tamaasha,

ek khayal phir mujh ko bhi aaya,

khud ki khoj mein to main bhi hoon,

dard aur khushi se mila bhi hoon,

phir bhi mera dil bhi to hai ro raha,

uss kali ki jagah hai yeh khada,

kuch soch ke maine kali se kaha,

tu khud ko khudi se pehchaan jaa,

maun ho, jaha nisthabdhata chhaye,

jaha phir kisi aur ka tarang naa aaye,

wahi roop hai tumhara khudka apana,

mat dekho bahaar se koi sapana,

pehchaano khud khudi ki garima ko,

waha naa kisi ghum ka chhaaya ho,

ek anokha roop hai sabka,

usse khood hi jaano, wahi hai apna.

badal jab bhi mujhe bhigoya karta hai

bundein lekar badal jab bhi,
mujhe bhigoya karta hai,
akash bhej kar nit nayi khusbu,
mujh ko mehkaya karta hai.

kankad the pehle rashte par,
ab phool bichaya karta hai,
haath pakaj mujko lekar ke,
manzilen dikhaya karta hai.

khud ki khusiya nahi mangta,
woh hansi dilaya karta hai,
mujhe hua ab kuch haasil,
woh prem lutaya karta hai.
