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....

‘Doond lein….’

Barsoun se apne khoye

Bachpan ko doond rahi hun….

Unhi galiyoun mein kanhi

meri javaani bhi kho gayi hai…

Suna hai ujade huae us chaman mein

Ab bhi, kuch dilwale baste hain….

Kah do unhen

ki kisee jadiee ke peechay….

Ya phir kisi

Gulab kee kyari ke neeche….

hoga wahi kanhi

meraa bachpan….

Aur merie ghar kee

khidakee kie nouk pe….

Atakie hogie kahien

merie javaani bhi…..

Ho sake to zara sa dekh lein,

Doond lein…

Jo na pakad paye agar

To mukhatib ho ke kahien ….

Kah de mere bachpan se

Ya phir mere javani se….

doud ke aye

jee han, lout ke aye….

Ki mein behataash

jeena cha`hti hun ….

Mein phir se

udna cha`htee hun….

waqt.....

Waqt hai jo bah`te paani

Kee tar`ah, bah`ta hai’

Mu`sal`sal chal`ta hai, guzar`ta hai;

Har shaam, har subah,

Har pal, har lamha jo hai,

Thaa mei badal jaata hai;

Laakh koshish kare koyi

Bandhe nahi band`ta, yeh

Tukad`un mein but jaata hai;

Mai`ne bhi kayi baar

donoun haath`oun se

Samat`ne kee koshish mein

Fisal`te dekhaa hai,

Boond - boond paani

Ungli`youn ke

beech`oun-beech

Aur

phir khaali haath;

Par kayi baar zindagi ne di`ye hain

Kuch lamhe jo bah`te waqt se

Churaa`ye hain mei`ne, jiye hain;

Jo aankhon se utaa`re hain

Dil se sanvaa`re hain, aur

Rouh mein basa`yein hain;

Aaj bhi kayi baar

Mein unhein jeeti huun`

Phir se khil utha`ti huun`…..

in continuation to Goonj.....

Baarish!!!!!!!!!!

rang-bi-range phool khile

sabz shaakhoun ke saath,

koi jaadugar aake mere dil ko

aabad kar gaya aaj.....

aanchal yah mamta ka kayi baar

phaila tha magar,

banjar dharti pe barsti baarish

poori tar kar gayi aaj....

Goonj

Goonj......

Aaj

bahut bheed thee;

kuch jaane,

kuch anjaane chehre

munh hila hila ke

kuch samjane ki,

kuch kehne ki koshish mein they!

maine bhi

laakh kashmakash ki,

kuch muj tak bhi pahunch sake!

par ek aawaz ka parda tha

tumhara 'maaa' kah ke pukarna

mere kanoun me

badastoor goonj raha tha....
