is had ke par

Kya hai jahan is had ke par
abhi to kafila uttha hi hai.
----------
rang-o-khushboo aur pairahan pe tabassum
chalo achcha hai wahan roshni to hai.
----------
main sochta tha yeh zamana bhi guzar jayega
magar sham tak dekha to bas sirf suraj doob haya hai.
---------------
ab yahan bhi kuch badal jayega
Suna hai is shahar mein koi naya aadmi aya hai.
----------------
ahi dekha log bahut muskara rahe hain
na jane kyun mujhe ab kisi darr ka guman ho raha hai.

Ek purani si Ghazal

kyun sham ab pehle si nahi hai

shayad mere pas koi aane waala hai.

har koi yahan sahma sa dikhta hai

shayad inhey bhi kal ka pataa hai.

mazaron pe ab kaun charagh jalayega

ab to is bazaar mein tel milta nahi hai.

bekahuf hoke jiyo yaron

ab is bura hona nahi hai.

ham ne raat ki siyah mein ghar jala diye hai

padh lo yeh khat abhi uski roshni baqi hai.

is nadi ke kinare

dekho kab se baitha hoon
main takta hua
harey hote assman ko
aur dekhta raha hoon main udte parindon ko
jo aoni hi masti mein
bilkul bekhauf
be wajah
apne aap main mashruf.
kabhi sochta hoon
kyon mere pankh nahin hain
kyon main khule aasman mein ud nahi sakta
kyon bandha hoon main
aisi bemani hasraton se.
Subah se hi
is nadi ke kinaare
baith kar
bas socha kiya hoon
kaise main apne se batein karta raha hoon
ab jab ki kahney ko kuch bhi baki nahi hai
ab jab ki main ek ghubar rah gaya hoon
ab jab ki tum bhi kis aur duniya mein gum ho gaye ho
ab jab ki maian bhi main nahi raha hoon
main bekhauf ek ehsas ke karz se dabaa
ek aag ki dariya mein
lehren gin raha roon.
Kisey parwah hai jal janey ki...............
