Rishton ka bazaar...

Humsafar the tum, humnava na ban paaye
Mere dil ke dard ka dava na ban paaye
Sapne bahut the lekin haqeeqat na ban paaye
Haqeeqat to tum the lekin chaahat na ban paaye
Har taraf the dukh ke saaye
Kabhi hum rokar bhi muskuraaye
Kehte hai barson ki wafa se rishten hai bante.
Lekin aaj jaana rishte dehej ke bazaaron mein hai bikte..

Mein jeeyungi..

Zindagi itni berehem hai kyun?
Aasun aankhon se barastha hai kyun?
Har khushi ke peeche gham hota hai kyun?
Har subah ke baad andhera chaa jata hai kyun?
Hakeekat toh hamesha kadvi hoti hai kyun?
Har muskaan ke bheethar aasun hai kyun?

Is kyun kyun ke jhanjat mein kho gayi hoon main.
Zindagi ke kaante dekh dar gayi hoom main.
Kya main kar paaoongi iska saamna?
Saath na dega mera yeh zamaana.
Duniya hai mujhse anjaan.
Dhoondthi hoon yaha par apni pehchaan.
Sochti hoon kabhi mein hoon nadaan.
Par saamne hai koi toofaan.

Tootne laga mera hosla
Toh kahi se achanak ek awaaz khili
Are tu toh hai baawli.
Zindagi toh hai ek kali
Jo bhagwaan se hume hai mili
Tume har halat mein hai aage badna
Har waqt saphalta ki seedi hai chadna.
Zindagi ko hai phool bankar hai mehekna.
Man ko bhi titli ke jaise hai udna.

Isi liye, mujhe tumhe hum sab ko hai jeena
Manzil kuch bhi ho use hai paana
Duniya mein apna ek pechaan banana.
Mein jeeyungi...
Aur aise ke dukh haar jaayenge!!

A thought

Love, I beleive is based on a few convincing moments, the power of whose conviction, lasts for a lifetime.

Hum insaan hai..

Jaante hai zindagi aasaan nahin

Raahe lambi hai inme chalte kadam thak jaayenge

Andhere ghane hai

Aasha ke kiran dhoondte hosle dhagmagaa jaayenge

Mumkin hai jis manzil ki aas lekar chale woh nazron se door ho jaye

Girne par shayad humaare kadam na sambhal paaye

Hum insaan hai seene mein dil aur dil mein aas rakte hain.

Lekin yeh haalat bhi kam hai hamaare jazbe ko thodne ke liye

Woh jazba jo hume har baar yaad dilata hai ki hum jiye hai apni manzil paane ke liye

Lambe raahon se hum na thakenge

Ghane andheron se hum na darenge

Hume bas apni zindagi jeena hai aur hum jeeyenge.

Hum insaan hai seene mein dhadakta dil aur dil mein hosla rakte hain.

                                                        Hum kaanton ke beech phoolon ki tarah khilenge

                                                        Hazaaron ghamon ke peeche chupi us khushi ke liye hum jeeyenge.

                                                        Raah chalte thake logon ka sahara banenge

                                                        Hum haar kar jeetna seekenge.

                                                      Hum insaan hai seene main dhadakta dil aur dil mein insaaniyat rakte hain.

Hamaari Zindagi.....

Kya hua agar haathon main hain bhoj,
Aankhon mein sapne hai aur apni manzil ki hain hume khoj.
Kismat se hume nahin koi gila,
Ki usne nahin diya hume paisa ya bangla.
Hume toh har baar aise anmol zindagi mile,
Jisme khusiyaan aur gamon ke ho silsiley.

Kya hua agar hum nahin ek ameer baap ke aullaad,
Hamaari zindagi mein toh hai ehsaason ka swaad.
Pyaar aur bharose se hai hamaari duniya abaad.

Ameeron ki daulat ko toh chor hai loot the,
Lekin hamaari daulat ko kaun loote jo hamaare dil mein hai.
Maa ke loriyon ke ghazal mein hai,
Khwaabon se bhare hamaare aane waale kal mein hai.

Zindagi hai hamaare liye,
Aur rab hai hamaare saath.
Hum toh bas yeh ummeed hai karte,
Hamaare kal mein khusiyaan hamaari raah hai johte,
Hume toh bas raat dhalne ka intezaar hai.
Khud pe hume etbaar hai.

Bikhre Kwaabhon ko sametkar ek khwaab saja lenge, un rishton ke waaste..

Aaj laashon ki dher hai jaha par,
Kal basta tha hamaara sapna vaha par.
Ab aakir hum jaaye kahaan,
Lut gaya hamara toh saara jahaan.

Pal bhar mein hi zindagi badal gayi,
Suraj ki roshni ke saamne hi hamaari zindagiyon mein andhera chaa gayi.
Aankon ke saamne apne bichad gaye,
Palbar mein hi duniya ujad gaye.
Ab hum kiske sahare jiye,
Buj gaye hai ummeed ke diye.

Logon ne ise dardnaak haadsa kaha,
Kuch ne insaaniyat ke naam par humdardi jataaya.
Bina mehsooz kiye ki humne kya saha,
Ateet ko bhula dene ko bataya.
Lekin kaise bhula de hum un nazaaron ko,
Palbar mein hi jab lehere uta ke le gayi hamaare apno aur yaaron ko.
Jab maut ne apne aagosh mein sabhi ko sulaaya,
Usne hume hi kyun bhulaya.
Zindagi mein bhi hoti hai maut ka saaya,
Jab har koyi lage ajnabi aur paraya.

Phir bhi un rishton ke waaste hume hai jeena,
Jinhone humaare liye ek kar diya tha khoon pasina.
Jin aankhon mein humaari zindagi ke the sapne,
Maana aaj nazar na aaye woh apne.
Unke sapne hamaare dil mein mehfuuz hai,
Jo hamaare liye sabse khaaz hai.

Inke waaste...
Hum maut ke beech zindagi talaash lenge.


Yeh waada hai hamaara un rishton se,
Jho kabhi humse jude the aur hamesha jude rahenge.
Unke sapnon ko karne  saakar hum har muskil se ladenge.

Apne chale jaate waqt, jeene ki aas de gaye.
Rooti zindagi ko manakar hum bhi jeena seekh gaye,
Un rishton ke waaste.......

Well, this was a poem I wrote during the 2004 Tsunami that devastated the coasts of Indonesia, SriLanka, India and Thailand(in the order of the devastation caused). Unsettled millions. But I always wonder is it Nature's way of reminding us how miniscule we are or is it a mother nudging her child and telling him I have created the ashes, now rise from it gracefully my Phoenix. You have all it takes:) Remember it:)
