WOH BHI KYA DIN THE

PYAR KARTE THE PAR TUMHI SE CHUPAYA KARTE THE,
MILNE KI AAS RAKTE THE PAR TUMHI SE SHARMAYA KARTE THE,
WOH BHI KYA DIN THE,
JO TUMHARE SAAYE MAIN BITAYA KARTE THE..

SANSE TEZ CHALTI JAB TUMSE NAZAR MILAYA KARTE THE,
CHUNA CHAHATE THE PAR TUMHI SE DOOR RAHA KARTE THE,
WOH BHI KYA DIN THE,
JO TUMHARE SAAYE MAIN BITAYA KARTE THE..

DAR THA HUMEIN KI KAHIN TUMHE YE RAAZ NA PATA CHAL JAAYE,
BHATAKTI ANKHOON AUR TEZ SANSON SE HAALE DIL BAYAN NA HO JAYE,
WOH BHI KYA DIN THE,
JO TUMHARE SAAYE MAIN BITAYA KARTE THE..

DUA KARTE THE KI HAR GHADI TUMHARE PASS REH SAKE HUM,
PAR AATE HI TUMHARE SAAMNE BAADLON MAIN HUM KAHIN CHUP SE JAATE THE,
WOH BHI KYA DIN THE,
JO TUMHARE SAAYE MAIN BITAYA KARTE THE..

KOSHISH KI KAI BAAR IS BAAT KO TUMSE JATANE KI,
AAJ BHI DAFAN HAI SINE MAIN WHO BAAT EK RAAZ SI,
JO KADAM BADANA CHAHTE THE TUMHARE PYAR KI AOR,
MOD DIYA KUCH LOGON NE RUKH UNKA..
PAKDA DI HATH BAS MAIKHANE KI DOR..
WOH BHI KYA DIN THE,
JO TUMHARE SAAYE MAIN BITAYA KARTE THE..

KALAM AUR KHAALI PANNE

Kholi maine ek kitaab,
Jiske panne the saaf saaf,
Chahti thi unpar kuch likhna,
Par man naa de raha tha sath..

Kabhi chaha likhna bachpane par,
To kabhi budhaape par likhna chaha,
Kabhi is desh ki durdasha par,
To kabhi jeevan ki dukhmai chaya..

Khaali panna taras raha tha,
Hawa ke jhonke se ud raha tha,
Cho raha tha meri ungaliyon ko,
Mujse kuch accha likhne ko keh raha tha..

Hath main kalam thi syahi bhari,
Jakdi padi thi ungaliyon main meri,
Vo bhi chahti thi kuch likhna,
Chahti thi un safed panno ko rangdena..

Aakhir maine socha bohot,
Phir bhi naa dhund pai koi accha marg,
Aankhen uthakar jab dhyan se dekha,
To khuli kitab par paya --- Khaali Panne aur Kalam ka sath..

Jo the berang aur khali panne,
Un par ab thi syahi padi,
Man to ab bhi kuch aur soch raha tha,
Par khali paano par kalam ki thi rangat chadi..

UNKI YAAD

Milan hua tha pal do pal ka,
Pal do pal ka basera tha,
Phut te hi ankur is subah ke,
Pass na mere koi mera tha..

Beet gaya waqt bhi aise,
Daud raha tha jaise taise,
Chah raha tha alag karwana,
Najane jeeta woh aise kaise..

Unki bhuri ankhon main,
Parchai meri jhalak rahi thi,
Baan chalay aise mujhpe,
Tip tip ankhen baras padi thi..

Gam tha, Duri bhi thi,
Bhichadne ki majboori bhi thi,
Alag to karna tha hi is pal ne,
Par jald milne ki Huzuri bhi thi..

Dedicated to someone very special to me

Jee Le

Tu jee le chal ek baar phir se,
Maut ka kya dar bana hai,
Aati hai jo har ek pal main,
Aisi maut se bhi koi mara hai..

Tu jee le chal ek baar phir se,
Maasom ankhon ki nami ko chu le,
Man main sulagti icchaon ko paa le,
Kar de poora inbaaton ko is baar dil se..

Tu jee le chal ek baar phir se,
Baaton main na taal zindagi ko,
Samay main na dhaal zindagi ko,
Jatade bayane haal zindagi se..

Tu jee le chal ek baar phir se,
Kaun jane kab kis mod par,
Khatam hogi kahani kis door par,
Dastak degi akhiribaar dil pe..

Tu jee le chal ek baar phir se,
Jatade dil ka haal zindagi se,
Kuch moke milenge sambhal le unhi ko,
Phir na shikayat karna jeene ki ek baar phir se
