एक ग़ज़ल



आज भी वफ़ा को सीने में दबाए हम 
मोहब्बत का पुरसुकून सितम माँगते हैं | 

जिस्म जला रूह जली ख़्वाब जल गए 
मुफ़लिसी में अब एक नज़र-ए-करम माँगते हैं | 

लोग बेपरवाह थे सर-ए-बाज़ार में हबीब 
चन्द रातों में तुम्हारे हिज्र की जलन माँगते हैं | 

तुमने बेरुख़ी के सिवाय कुछ भी नहीं दिया 
बेख़ुदी में डूबा फ़िर भी दीवानापन माँगते हैं | 

तन्हाई में अब दिल के वो साज़ नहीं छिड़ते 
नज़्मों ग़ज़लों से रोशन वही अन्जुमन माँगते हैं | 

जहाँ के मखमली लिबासों में कोई जँचता ही नहीं अब 
हिजाब से सजा तुम्हारा रुख़ पे  पैरहन माँगते हैं | 

ऐसा नहीं कि कोई चेहरा निगाहों से नहीं गुज़रा 
हसीं शोख़ी से लबरेज़ वही बाँकपन माँगते हैं |

एक हादसा..!!


                                      कल रात छत पर
                                      फलक की जानिब
                                      टकटकी बाँधे
                                      सियाह चादरों तले
                                      सितारों का खेल देखा
                                      कुछ मद्धिम कुछ उजले
                                      कुछ सर उठाए कुछ कुचले
                                      सब अपनी रोशनी में
                                      छुपे अंधेरों पर
                                      रोते-बिलखते से दिखे
                                      जब शायर ने
                                      किसी नाज़नीं के निगाहों
                                      को सितारा लिखा था
                                      सारे कैसे एक साथ
                                      मुस्कुराए थे,
                                      तभी अचानक
                                      एक हादसा हुआ
                                      हाँ, हादसा ही तो था
                                      धू-धू कर मेरे अरमान जले थे
                                      ख्वाबोँ का बेरहम क़त्ल हुआ था
                                      चाँद पर भी शायद खून सवार था
                                      तभी एक सितारा दूर कहीं
                                      मेरे नाम का टूटा था
                                     और
                                     सभी ने सोचा
                                     कोई दुआ क़ुबूल हुई ।

एक वो रात ऐसी थी..





रुख्सार पर भी उसके मुस्कुराहटें थीं खेलती
हुजूम-ए-अश्क़ से तर दामन था एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

चिराग-ए-मुर्दा था वहाँ इन्सानियत का अक्स
रोशनी भी थी शर्मसार एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

एक  बेजान होती चीख़ और वो आह-ए-आतशी
आबरू थी बेहिजाब एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

बेपरवाह था शहर औ नुक्कड़ों पे कानून के वो बुत
बने सब बेहया तमाशबीं एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

चन्द एक हंगामों से सही हम ज़मीर के हमज़बाँ हुए
धधकती अब तलक है आग एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

बाद-ए-मर्ग के भी पाँव कफ़न में है हिल रहा
फ़रिश्ते भी थे कश्मकश में एक वो रात ऐसी थी।

करो एक पल तो एहसास वो ख़लिश-ए-ख़ार  ऐ अहले वतन
हमसे ही कुछ रुख्सत हुआ एक वो रात ऐसी थी ।

Love Goes Wordless...




                                            The chaos 
                                            pales into the insignificance
                                            all worldly desires 
                                            seem to be mere a pittance
                                            A tender touch
                                            bestows a solace
                                            When love goes wordless..

                                            A disposition slithers
                                            to a heart
                                            Afew shadows tribulate
                                            and things get drifted apart
                                            A vague starts taking a shape
                                            When love goes wordless..

                                            Everything else plunges
                                            into the dearth
                                            Dreams start finding
                                            a reason of mirth
                                            Pangs and pleasures
                                            are there to embrace
                                            When love goes wordless..

                                            I get captivated
                                            with the gentle charm
                                            Feelings are dormant and unborn
                                            What I keep craving for
                                            nothing but that glistening face
                                            When love goes wordless...

A Tormentor...




                                           On the agonized path of
                                           my deserted life
                                           a lurching stride 
                                           took me to a poignancy
                                           where I coaxed to my pains
                                           but they rebuffed
                                           they wanted me to be
                                           with the same somber nights
                                           and a false aura of love,
                                           Where those pipe dreams
                                           were there to ravage
                                           my soul,
                                           with all the despondence
                                           I just kept on
                                           strolling,
                                           lightening bolts continued
                                           to flash across the sky,
                                           accidentally I witnessed
                                           a distraught cloud
                                           that was torn asunder,
                                           gulping sobs of grief
                                           I still went on 
                                          crooning
                                          with the same 
                                          nagging pain,
                                          and a tattered heart
                                          of mine.

a firefly...




                                 a firefly
                                 instills a life within a few wombs
                                 enlivening some souls
                                 dying in the dark
                                 patting a few sobbing hearts
                                 rejuvenating some weary strides
                                 a firefly keeps glittering on.

                                 vanishing some scars on psyche
                                 making forget all those pangs
                                 freeing from some fetters
                                 burning somewhere within
                                 illuminating the vibes yet
                                 a firefly keeps glittering on

                                 quenching the thirst of pursuing fellows
                                 stimulating a few latent desires
                                 measuring the limitless depth of gloom
                                 a firefly keeps glittering on

                                 embracing all the compassions
                                 imbibing all the sorrows
                                 sprouting some brand new hopes
                                 a firefly keeps glittering on.

On the NIGHT of full MOON..






                                                On the night of full moon
                                                It's worth reminiscing something
                                                and reliving that moment
                                                when
                                                We were strolling together
                                                just for no reason
                                                You did have that gait and charm
                                                and I didn't have any choice but
                                                going on and on
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                all I had, was
                                                a crooning heart and a grooving soul
                                                at the very same time
                                                The feeling was sinking in
                                                was like almost divine
                                                So I named this journey
                                                truly solemn and sublime
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                I learned how to let your eyes talk
                                                how did even moon wade into
                                                that walk
                                                how an ocean absorbs a shock
                                                and how you said it all
                                                merely in mock
                                                On the night of full moon
                                                 this journey got fizzled out
                                                 the moon also started getting dim out
                                                 I am the one who is still so devout
                                                 in the end
                                                 this illusory night of full moon
                                                 was all about..

every NIGHT when...



                                         Every night when
                                         I try to close my eyes
                                         someone takes me away
                                         in a wonderland kind of
                                         Where everyone has
                                         a different identity
                                         like I have never ever seen before
                                         People were together
                                         not for any worldly desire
                                         but they were completing each other
                                         the sun was shining there
                                         but with a strange grace
                                         winds were blowing there
                                         but with a loving rhythm
                                         birds were chirping there
                                         but with a amazing exuberance
                                         rivers were flowing there
                                         but with a hope to be lost
                                         in the ocean of love
                                         There were
                                         No grudges
                                         No grievances
                                         No jealousy 
                                         No cut throat competition
                                         All it was around
                                         was the LOVE
                                         the sacred LOVE
                                         the unconditional LOVE
                                         without any manipulated definitions
                                         without any self made limitations
                                         Every night
                                         when I try to close my eyes
                                         It does happen to me
                                         and every night
                                         I wish that
                                         the night never comes to an end
                                         because beyond this dream world
                                         everything is a delusion for me
                                         No one has even a moment
                                         to share it with me
                                         It saddens me all the time
                                         But sun has to arise
                                         I have to awake
                                         a brand new morning awaits for me
                                         with some promising hopes
                                         and momentary pleasures
                                         don't know why
                                         but I am indifferent to all
                                         and I know it has to go on
                                         perhaps its called reality
                                         but I love that tiny space of mine
                                         with no boundaries
                                         where someone awaits for me
                                         Every night when
                                         try to close my eyes..!!!
                                         Every night when...

an INSIGHT..!!!



 

                                                           My sleepless eyes
                                                           with a calm night
                                                           A cheerful cause
                                                           with my eternal plight
                                                           A musical dawn
                                                           with my jinxed twilight
                                                           A pondering dark
                                                           with my fainting light
                                                           A dying hope
                                                           with my unknown fright
                                                           Some hurtful memories
                                                           with my endless flight
                                                            A vouch for an illusion
                                                           with my diminishing
                                                           worldly appetite
                                                           A perpetual reluctance
                                                           with my false delight
                                                           Nothing I possess
                                                           but a stoic SOUL to ignite...

INTO THE REALM OF A FANTASY...

I RUN AFTER A DREAM...

                                did you see me perspiring..??
                                                 perhaps, you didn't.... ever...



every night when,
                            heart quieten my mind,
my eyes get almost blind,
                            i keep sailing upstream,

                                             cause I RUN AFTER A DREAM;



i just can't bring them back,
                                           but they have thrown me out of whack,
 i neglect this world's scream,
                                    
                                           cause I RUN AFTER A DREAM;



feelings find the place to vent up,
                                                  i just become dumb and deaf,
a yawning gap is in between,
                                            
                                           cause I RUN AFTER A DREAM;


 

I'm losing that was never mine,
                                                  still committing this innocent crime,
all i can pursue are my shoulders to lean,
                                                   cause I RUN AFTER A DREAM;





I love to be with virtual reality,
                                                    never ask any other fidelity,
how indifferent it's been,
                                      
                                              cause I RUN AFTER A DREAM..!!!
