Ab kya...

दिल  की  हर  तमन्ना  बेखयाल 
हर  चाहत  कही  खो  गयी  है 
आज  बारिश  भी  जैसे  रो  रही  है 
किसी  की  आहाट  से  इतनी  घबराहट  क्यों ,
की   लब  सिले , आँखे  भी  नाम  है 
होश  नाम  का  भी  नहीं 
और  फिर  वही  मदहोशी  है 
वही  गुमनाम  अँधेरे 
वही  बेपनाह  सवेरे …
बड़ी  शिद्दत  के  बाद  जीना  सीखा  था 
झूठा  ही  सही , हसना  सीखा  था 
कही   किसी  कोने  में  दिल  के  यादे  दफनाये 
एक  बार  फिर  से  खुलना  सीखा  था 
 है  शिकायते  इतनी  की  गिनती  भूल  गए  है 
है  दर्द  इतना  सीने  में  की  आदत   सी  पद  गयी  है 
जो  कभी  हम  जीते  थे  किसी  के  लिए ….
आज  मरने  को  जी  रहे  है 
और  मौत  भी  आज  मुस्कुरा  कर 
दामन छुड़ा  चली  हैं …
क्यों  क़ैद  हूँ  इस  भावर  में 
क्यों  क़ैद  हूँ   दुनिया  की  नज़र  में 
जब  बचे  ही  नहीं  कोई  सपने , फिर 
क्यों  क़ैद  हूँ  उन  टुकडो  में …
आज  नजाने  क्यों  हकीक़त  से  रूबरू  हूँ 
जो  दौड़  रहा  है  नस  नस  में , उस  दर्द  से  वाकिफ  हूँ 
गिले  शिकवे  नहीं  है  मुझे  उस  से  कही 
बस  खुद  ही  की  नज़र  में  नाकाबिल  हूँ ….

Tasveer...






तस्वीर  देखती  हूँ 
उन  पुर्जो  में  कोई  ख़त  खोज  रही  हूँ 
पैगाम  उस  अनजान  चेहरे  का ,
इरादे  का  अंजाम  खोज  रही  हूँ 


आशिकी  का  हर  राज़ ,
उसके  लिए  सरगम  का  साज़  खोज  रही  हूँ 
घुंघरू  की  ताल ,
आवाज़  का  आग़ाज़   खोज  रही  हूँ 


धड़कन   सुनती  हूँ 
साँसों  की  वो  बात  खोज  रही  हूँ 
थामे  रात  को 
चांदनी  के  निशान  खोज  रही  हूँ 


मदहोश कर रही है मधु
आज मैं अपने ही पाँव के निशाँ खोज रही हूँ 
रेत के घरोंदे को देखती हूँ 
खुद का दुनिया में मकाम खोज रही हूँ

Seekha hai...



दिल  आज  बावरा  सा  हुआ  है
नजाने  कैसे  आज  पागल  सा  हुआ  है
सपनो  की  वो  कड़ी  जाने  कैसे
आँखे  मूंदे  बनी  है
खुली  आँखों  के  ख्वाब  सच
और  सच  ख्वाब  सा  है
बरसी  है  सावन  के  साथ
कितनी  नयी  आशाये
एक  नयी  ज़िन्दगी  की  आस  आज
सांस  के  साथ  बंधी  है
मजबूरियों  से  मुक्त  हाथ
आज  खुल  कर  बढे  है
कभी  सपनो  के  लिए  जीते  थे
आज  सपने  साथ  जीते  है
सजी  सी  किस्मत  लगती  है
बदली  सी  हर  बात
ख़ुशी  का  दामन  थमा  सा  है
और  अंधेरो  में   तन्हाईयाँ
वो  अँधेरे  भी  दूर , बहुत  दूर ,
न  पहुंचे , बीच  में  दीवार  सी  है
बगैर  किसी  के  साथ  के  आज
फिर  खुल  कर  हसना  सीखा  है

Lavzo ki tarah....




Lavzo ki tarah kitabo me mila karo
Fulo ki tarah yuhi khila karo
Tumhari muskurahat par jaan chidakte hain
Nazro se hum yuhi piya karte hain
Madhosh hain, hosh me aane na do
Dub rahe hai, aaj saahil na do
Jo chahat hai use bhulaya na karo
Hasa kar yun hame rulaya na karo
Barso bhatke hai tumhari talaash me
Hokar khafa jaan yun jalaya na karo
Jo lagta hai darr tumko zamane ki nazro ka
Haqiqat me na sahi, khayalo me hi mila karo...
Khayalo me hi mila karo...

The Thought


The thought of letting you go
Breaks my heart but I know
That you will never be happy here
Where the world has bound u in chains
But I sure wish I could keep you with me
So that I dont have those lonely dreams
Those moments of restlessness
And the agony of being a silent spectator
Of all that goes on around me
I wish I could keep you here
And make you a part of me
And let you be
The person you want to be
But i know
I have to let you free
So that u can reign this world
And be here on your terms
But i still want you to know
That wherever you go
You will always be a part of my thoughts
And always a part of me...

Der Tak...


Der tak unko dekh kar rote rahe hum

Wo na aaye, khwab yuhi sanjote rahe hum

Der tak unko dekh kar rote rahe hum

Sur milathi thi hawa unki sada ke sath

Aur kudrat bhi nach barasti thi yahan

Aaj usi baarish me gile shikwe bhigote rahe hum

Der tak unko dekh kar rote rahe hum

Jis taraf dekhte hai, rukh badal jata hai

Karte hai jatan, par sapna tut jata hai

Tute sapno ko aankho me chubhote rahe hum

Der tak unko dekh kar rote rahe hum

Jis jagah mehfile jawaan hoti thi kabhi

Aur leti thi angdaaiyan mohabbat dilo me

Aaj veeraniya seene me liye, sabko bhulate r ahe hum

Der tak unko dekh kar rote rahe hum.

Nudge the Balance



A 91-year-old woman died after living a very long dignified life. When she
met God, she asked Him something that had really bothered her for a very
long time. "If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created
equal, why do people treat each other so badly?"

God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to
teach us. It is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people
and our relationships with God. This confused the woman, so God began to
explain:

"When someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always what
they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks
people wear if you want to know what is in their hearts. Remove your own
masks to let people know who you really are.

When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always
appreciate what you have. You never know when you might lose it. Never take
your friends or family for granted, because today and sometimes only this
very moment is the only guarantee you may have.

When someone inflicts injury upon you, it teaches you that the human state
is a very fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best as you
can, it's the one thing that you are sure to have forever.

When someone mocks you, it teaches you that no two people are alike. When
you encounter people who are different from you, do not judge them by how
they look or act, instead base it on the contents of what is in their
hearts.

When someone breaks your heart, it teaches you that loving someone does not
always mean that the person will love you back. But don't turn your back on
love, because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings
you will make up for all of your past hurts. Times a thousand fold.

When someone holds a grudge against you, it teaches you that everyone makes
mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is
forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is
often the most difficult and painful of life's experiences, but it is also
the most courageous thing a person can do.

When a loved one is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that resisting
temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance
against all temptations. By doing so, you will be rewarded with an enduring
sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you
were tempted.

When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil.
Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do
not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with
achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.

When someone ridicules you, it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept
people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject
someone for imperfections over which they have no control."

Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became concerned that there
are no lessons to be learned from man's good deeds. God replied that Man's
capacity to love is the greatest gift He has. At the root of kindness and
love, and each act of love also teaches us a lesson. The woman's curiosity
deepened. God, once again began to explain:

"When someone loves us, it teaches us love, kindness, charity, honesty,
humility, forgiveness, acceptance, and all of these can counteract all the
evil in the world. For every good deed, there is one evil deed. Man alone
has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the
lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.

When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence,
consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of
reality? When you die, will your life have resulted in more loving or more
hurting? More comfort or more pain? More joy or more sadness? Each one of us
has the power over the balance of the love in the world. Use it wisely!"

Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction!

Saath Me Dungi




Us raat zindagi se mulaqat ho gayi

Thodi hi sahi par baat ho gayi

Poocha jo maine kyon tanhai ko sang lati ho

Kyon dil ke tukde kar ke, fir hasna sikhati ho

Keh baithi wo mujhse kar lo kuch bhi tum chahe…saath main dungi….

Tanhaiyo Ki Mehfil Saja Lo.... Saath Main Dungi

Rishto Ki Dor Bana Lo... Bandh Main Dungi

Yaaro Ki Kami Na Kal Thi Na Aaj Hai

Tum Pukar Lo, Sada Saath Main Dungi

Un Kali Andheri Raato Me Jab Tanha Jaagte Ho

Keh Do, Bankar Shama Roshni Tumhe Main Dungi

Ab Bhi Na Behle Jo Ji Tumhara

Bula Lo, Tumhari Jagah Ro Main Dungi

Kahi Isi Kash-M-Kash Me Beet Na Jaaye Umr Saari

Baat Tumhari Dil Ki, Tumhe Bata Main Dungi

Dekho Wo Mali Phulo Se Kar Raha Baat Hai...

Unki Surbhi Chura Kar Tumhe La Main Dungi

Na Dikhe Jo Kinara Koi Saagar Ke Bich

Ubharungi Tumhe, Saahil Ka Sahara Main Dungi

Lehrana Chaho Jo Us Samandar Ki Maujo Ki Tarah

Utho Tumhe Baharo Ka Kinara Main Dungi

Ud Na Chaho Jo Un Patango Ki Tarah Tum Bhi

Jao, Khula Aasmaan Tumhara Tumhe Main Dungi

Na Ruko, Na Thako Tum, Kabhi Baitho Na Haarkar

Jeet Tumhari Hai, Duaye Tumhe Main Dungi

Mudkar Piche Jo Dekhoge Kabhi Us Raah Se

Kadmo Ko Aage Ki Taraf Badhava Main Dungi

…………………………..Badhava Main Dungi......

buniyaad!



Pal bhar ke rishte the ya
The kache dhago ke naate
Chatki ki tut gayi har gaanth
Kya shishe ke the sab wade
Jivan ki rasmayta thi ya
Tha ek achook vaan
Khwabo ke mehlo sa dheh gaya
Kya ret ke bane the ve ghar
Guftgu thi hawao ki
Ya khamoshi thi un nigaho ki
Kaampne laga har sapna
Kya tha wah sapne se bhi jhootha sach
Wah sabkuch kya ek galatfahmi thi
Ya ho gaya meri nazro ko dhoka tha
Dekhte hi dekhte bah gaya sabkuch
Kya itni kachi buniyaad thi?

Bhari Mehfil Me...


Bhari mehfil me tanha rehna sikha diya

Apke pyar ne duniya ko jhootha kehna sikha diya

Kabhi jo shor me jite the hum

Aaj sannatta bhi shor sa lagta hai

Jo aadat thi hame duniya ko

Apne nazariye se dekhne ki

Apke pyar ne har nazariya dikha diya

Hame raho ki thokro se bachna sikha diya

Jaha lagti thi thokar, tanha girte the hum

Aapne hath dekar fir uthna sikha diya

Meri zindagi ke maayne kho se gaye the

Aapne mujhe jina sikha diya

Kisi khushi ya gam ka ehsaas nahi ab to

Sab kuch zindagi me chupchap sehna sikha diya

Apne ghavo par marham lagana sikha diya…

Sanam, aapne mujhe hasna sikha diya….

Shararat Na Hoti....



Shararat na hoti, shikayat na hoti

Naino me kisi ke nazakat na hoti

Na hoti beqarari, na hote hum tanha

Jo jahan me kambakht ye mohabbat na hoti

Na hote ye sapne, ye khwabo ki duniya

Kisi ko chahat ki tamanna na hoti

Na zulfo ki chaya na fulo ki khushboo

Yaado me unki ye rate na kat’ti

Jo na hoti mohabbat, ye aansu na hote

Dil bhi na khota, aaj tanha na rota

Majnu si apni ye haalat na hoti

To kambakht ye mohabbat na hoti…

jab kisi ka intezaar hota hai...



kehte hai jab kisi ka intezaar hota hai
har lamha beqaraar hota hai
waqt bhi jaise tham sa jaata hai
dil me anjaana ek sawaal hota hai
aankho me andekhe sapne
labo pe bas ek hi naam hota hai
darmiyaan shishe ki deewar bhi
faaslaa aasmaan hota hai
tasavvur me padhe un panno me
bhi zikr usi ka baar baar hota hai
jab kisi ka intezaar hota hai
har lamha yuhi beqraar hota hai....

Chalenge Sath Hum...





kahaa tha chalenge saath hum...

fir bhi main aaj tanha si hun...

kitne kadam akele chale hain in raaho pe....

kitne ab bhi baki hain....


jab chubhan si hoti hai seene me,
tanhayi paakar apne liye...
tees si uth'ti hai dil me...
sab kuch tuta hua sa lagta hai....

haan kai khwab dekhe the maine
aur kai saari baato ko dil se lagaye baithi thi....
pratibimb tha sirf aur kuch nahi
aaj aaina nahi to kahan dekhu us sab ko....

koi aur khwab sajane ki himmat nahi
na hi hai himmat aaj aage badhne ki..
yahi hun main aur yahi reh jaungi...
ki tuta hai dil...aur aawaaz nahi sunai di hai kisi ko...

rone ki bhi kshamata nahi hain mujhme
ki aansu saare such gaye hian mere...
bas ek tuta hua dil hai zindagi ko sambhale...
aur kai tute dhaage, is banjar dil ko sambhale....

bikhre hue tukde...




Bikhre hue tukdo ko aaj chun rahi hun

Fir un sapno ko bun rahi hun

Jo adhure reh gaye the kabhi

Aj fir un geeto ko sun rahi hun

Najaane kaisi kashish hai un lamho ki

Jo khinch rahi hai apni or

Kis dor se jane pal pal

Bandhti ja rahi hun

Nazre thi wo jo bindh gayi mujhe

Aaj khud hi se anjaan hoti jaa rahi hun

Let this be...


The ground is wet, it has rained today
But there is a Sun now, shining away
The birds are chirping, the tune so melodious
And my heart is singing, a song of joy
A song of togetherness, a song so sweet
It fills my heart with love, and yes! it has just missed a beat
How I love the nature, 'coz it makes everything so easy
How you looked at me today, without making me feel queasy
Let this moment be today etched to eternity
When you look at me, and its just you and me
Oh! How I wish it would stay like this forever,
And no tomorrow ever comes
That there are no people around, to break this magic around us....
How I adore this one look, my vocabulary fails to say
But all I wish can be said through my eyes...
And through this beating heart, when it misses a beat....

Let this joy be with me..
Let this moment be with me...
Let there just be you and me...
And this MAGIC that you bring to me....

Khaamoshi ke baad



samet lete hain jo khud ko,
zara se faila.av, ke baad;
dar, ki beh na jaen ye moti
fir kisi saila.ab, ke saath

mom ho jaati hai sham.ma-
raat bhar jalne ke baad;
ki hum bhi pighalte rahe
uski tanhaayi.yon ke saath

fanaa ho jaate jo khwaab
neend se jagne ke baad;
wo, raat bhar kuch is tarah
uljhnae, dasne ke baad


sehmi khadi ye arzoo hain
teri usi,berukhi ke baad;
ki, thami huyi si dhadkane
ab tere rehguzar ke saath

Lafz khamosh hain fir us
neem si khaamoshi ke baad;
goonjte hain sannate jaise,
maut ki sargoshi ke baad

DIL KI BAAT



Dil ki baat kehna mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Tumse nazar milana
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Jo laavz kabhi khud hi hotho tak aa jaate the
Aj unhe khayalo me lana bhi
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Jo adhura sa lagta tha kal tak
Ab pura hona
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Na sapne, na haqeeqat ki deewar aaj
Ek parda bhi hatana
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Khul ke hasna, khul ke rone ki baate nahi
Aj ek aansu, ek muskurahat milna bhi
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
Ummedo aur aashaao ki aisi kash-m-kash hai aaj
Ki khud ke rubaru hona bhi
mushkil sa ho gaya hai
dil ki baat kehna AAJ
mushkil sa ho gaya hai

The Brightest Blue...


A New Beginning



Life brings things in various colours and hues...to everyone....every single day...

Some are bright and sunny...like yellows of the sunflower, while some are boring and dull...darkest violet....like that of the night sky....while some are splattered with romance and are red in colour...

But today my life has evolved into a new colour....a colour unknown to me till now...something that I have discovered in the last five days......unraveled a lot of mysteries and have finally come to a point where i can name this colour...the colour of A NEW BEGINNING.....and today it seems to me to be the brightest of blues....a blue thats brighter than the sky seen back home....a blue thats deeper than the seas of familiarity....a new blue...of redefining things taken for granted tilll now.... of new horizons to see...of new mountains to climb....because those back home have been tested and retested.....time and again....

Its time to restart life from a point where I will live on my terms....
