main to akshar bhool jata hoon

yeh jo main shayari sunata hoon,
apne labbzo ko roshni me pirota hoon,
na apna kabhi yaad rakha,
na tujhko bhoola pata hoon..

ishq ki aag jitni iss dil me hai,
aanshoono se usko main bhujhata hoon,
khud hi jata hoon uske dar par main,
aur khud hi waha se laut aata hoon..

jo kabhi tairrta rahta tha samander me akshar,
ab to kashti me bhi dub jata hoon,
yun to tara tha main aashmano ka,
par ab lakeer chord aata hoon..

khud banata hoon apne ghar ko main,
aur khud hi usko girra aata hoon,
so main kya hoon.. ab jo bhi hoon,
main to akshar bhool jata hoon,
main to akshar bhool jata hoon

kyu iss baat pe bhi woh pighla nahi karte

dard uthta hai magar aah nahi karte,
kaun kehta hai hum wafa nahi karte,

aakhir kyu nahi badalti takdeer meri,
kya mere dost mere hakk mein dua nahi karte,

unhein hi chaha hai humne umar bhar ke liye,
kyu iss baat pe bhi woh pighla nahi karte.

na jane sine me aaj kyu itna dard hua

dhali jo shaam, to mausam bhi shard shard hua,
din chardte hi suraj bhi garam garam hua,
tamam umar safar me raha mera chehra,
isse liye to aayena bhi gad gad hua.

wo mere aiyeb ginati hai aaj kal mujhko,
wo to ek kamjor paudha thi jo aaj perd hua,
pakard k haat mera usne chalna sikha tha,
nazar ka noor tha pehle jo ab zigar ka dard hua,

hamare dil ko to aadat thi chot khane ki,
na jane sine me aaj kyu itna dard hua.

registaan ki dhup mein tapi hai meri zindagi

dukhon ke bhaar se dabi hai meri zindagi,
aanshuon ke sitaron se saji hai meri zindagi,

halat-e-bebassi apni main kah bhi nahi sakta,
gamon ke zanjeer se bandhi hai meri zindagi,

naseeb mein apne ek chhoti si khushi bhi nahi,
iss waqt ke toofan mein ujadi hai meri zindagi,

ji karta hai mita doon ghamon ke sath khud ko,
magar rishton ki dor se bandhi hai meri zindgai,

sochta hoon ki kabhi bahar bhi aaye ye udaasiyo mein,
magar registaan ki dhup mein tapi hai meri zindagi.

tera mera milna kya hai

perdo se jab patte girtein hai toh,
usko patjard kehate hain,
aur jab naye fool khilte hain toh,
usko vasant kehate hain,

door milne ka umeed liye,
jab dharti gagan milte hain,
toh usko cheetizz kehete hain...

per tera mera milna kya hai?

isse na toh vasant na toh patjhad
aur na cheetiz kehete hain!

yeh toh sirf ek ehasas hai,
ehasas kuch nahi ek pangdandi hai,
tumse mujhe tak aati huyi,
main aur tum tum aur main,
jiske agge sunne hain sab.

jo manzil pe na pahuche usse rashta nahi kehte

jo manzil pe na pahuche usse rashta nahi kehte,
do char kadam saat chalne ko chalna nahi kehte,
ek hum hain jo gaiyro ko bhi keh dete hain apna,
ek aap ho jo apno ko bhi apna nahi kehte.

khatra to bahut hai samander k safar me,
tufaan aaye to bhi hum usse khatra nahi kehte,
ban jaye agar baat to sab kehte hain kya kya,
aur baat bigard jaye to kya kya nahi kehte.

woh chahate hain ki mere lab pe ab shikayat bhi na ho

woh chahate hain ki mere lab pe ab shikayat bhi na ho,
woh katal kerte rahe aur mere dil se aahat bhi na ho,
jab chaha dil se khela, jab chaha tord diya,
aur uski bewafai ki kisi se charcha bhi ha ho..

roz ek zakham naya is dil pe mere lagaya jaye,
par aankho se aaskh chalakane ki ejaajat bhi na ho...

zindagai jaise bhi ji chahe gujaro,
aayena samane rakho to galtiyo ka ehsaas bhi na ho,
hadd se bardne lage dard to chup kya rahna,
bujhdili lagne lage, aisi sarafat bhi na ho...

kyu saza lete hain barde log un kitabo ko almari me,
jinhe pardne ki unko kabhi fursat bhi na ho...
