FIRAQ.....

firaq.....
aye baarish tu itnie baras
ki firaq-e-yaar dhul jaye
aye baarish tu itnie baras
ki dard-e-dil ghul jaye.........

tune har pate ko nikhaara hai
har chat tune bhigoya hai
patharoun ko tune taraasha hai
chataanoun ko pighlaaya hai....

merie bhie tu maseeha ban
kuch aisa hie waseela kar, ki
dhulie huie ek subh mile
dhulie shaam me din dhle.......

na aawaz ho kaanoun mein
na dastak ho darwaze pe
na aankhoun mein woh bassa rahe
na dil pe koyi khanjar chale.......

aye baarish tu itnie baras
ki firaq-e-yaar dhul jaye
aye baarish tu itnie baras
ki dard-e-dil ghul jaye....

baadal....

phaado`n kie chotie ke
beechon - beech
utartaa baadal
lahraata hua, bal khaata hua
tarastie aankhoun se
neeche zamein ko
ghuurta hua
dheere se keh raha tha:
mein aasman se
nikal kar
pahadiyoun kie uunchaiyoun
ko chod kar
mandraata hun
phirtaa hun, bataktaa hun,
tumhaarie aur badataa hun.
tum khaamosh
mere awaarapan kaa
nazaaraa dekhtie ho, aur
phir taras khaa kar
'barso' tum kahtie ho.
pagaloun ke tarah
mein aapa kho detaa hun
gharajtaa hun, koundtaa hun
aur phir barastaa hun.
tumhaarie andhar kie aagh
bujhataa hun, tumhe sahlaata hun.
khud ko mitaataa hun, aur
tum mein simat jaata hun.
mein tum se pyaar kartaa hun......

khamooshi.......

dour dour tak phaila
yeh ruka sa sanaata,
koi hawa kaa joonkaa
na parinde ki aawaz.
ghaadiyou`n ke raftaar
na chalan`e ke aahat.
d`ate pahadou`n ke
uunchee khamooshi
bhare aasman ke
ph`ale tanhayee.
bus mein aur
mere ander yeh shor,
kaash ki thum jaye
in sub ke tarah....
