Tumhari kahaani

Kalam kagaz pe rakho
aur likho..
Tumhari kahaani tumhi se likhwa raha hoon……

Kareeh manzar, haseen chehray
Laboon pe besakhta muskurahat……
Kya keh raheen hain
Likh rahey ho
Raeeszaddon ki tarah baith kar takhti mat banao
Khushnawees nahi ho jaaogey……………

Ek bar us loh-o-kalam ki taraf dekho
Jis mein itni tawanai hai
jitni…..
duniya mein ruswayee bhi nahi hogi….

Tum apney kaamat ko
Sarroh key barabar samaj rahey ho
beshak dikhai deta hai……
Kabhi dil ka bhi Jaayza lo
Uskey andar ka khalipan….
Kya jeeney ki ramak cheen leta hai
zaheynaseeb tum apnee kahani khud likh rahey ho
Kulbulatey hue keedoon mein…..
Aur tum mein faraq kitna hai
Aaj kuch bhi to nahi
kal ka allah malik…………………..

Tum maachis ki teeliyon ki tarah
bhaagtey dhoudtey garad-o-gubaar phaanktey ho…….
Ek chingari bhi udh kar tum par padhi
Tum phat padogey………………………..

Ek ghosht ka loutthda
Jab jism-o-jaan ikhtyaar karta hai……..
Us mein takabur aur raoonat, ijz aur issaar sey
takraar chaltee hai…………
Hamesha masnand nasheen hi
Zameen pe aa key baith jaata hai…….
Zameen pe jo bhi baitha hai
Woh baitha hai….. who baitha hai……

yeh kaisi pathshaala hai
pandit kuch nahi kehta……….
Yeh maktab kaisa maktab hai
ki mulla ki hai zubaan bandh……
Kabhi hum apney aasteenon mein saanp paaltey they
woh waqt guzra, Woh zamanaa gaya…….

Meray luaab ka ek katraa
Kisi Luaab sey mil jaayee……
Ab muhlik beemari ban jaatee hai
Ab Apni aasteenon ko
apnee Jebo-o-Gareibaan ko taar kar daalo……..

Phir bhi bachna mushkil hai

Kyonki ….

Sach ko samajhna mushkil hai…………

Name plate

Woh haseen tewar
mere aankhon men bas gayen hain
jab Bus se utarte waqt
hamara jism ek lamhe ke liye
uske jism se takraya tha
woh palti
jab uski mukhmoor aankhon men
khoon utar aaya tha
lekin jab uski nazar mere
chehre pe padi
ek lamhe ke liye dono pattharar ho gaye
woh to jism kabhi mera tha
main musalsal take jaa reha tha use
lekin jab ghaur se dekha
woh jaa chuki thi ek bangle men
samne name plate pe likha tha

Naaya saal aaya hai…

Naya saal aaya hai.

kushiyaan roothi roothi hain,

chehray pe khauf,

har aahat pe kuch lagta hai…

TV bandh hai,

dar lagta hai.

Konsi khabar aajaaye

aur hosh-o-hawaas……

ek dam sey aisa gayab ho ki phir saal guzar jaaye. 

dar lagta hai aahat sey

dar lagta hai call bell ki ghanti sey

beeta saal to beet gaya

kaisa bhi tha kya keh sakta hoon, kya likh sakta hoon

kya bol sakta hoon

aankhein hayraan, dil mein phepholley,

zuban kaseeylee, sub kuch kya keh sakta hoon?

meri kahaani teri kahaani,

sab kuch to ek jaisi hai.

ab to din maheeney, haftey, saal sabhi

dhund mein khoye mayoosi ka libadaa odhe

har gali key nukkad sey jhanktey phirtey taaktey phirtey

bas ek sawaal kya yeh saal bhi guzar jaayega? 

hum sab pathar ho jaayenge?

phir kon kissey takraayega?

akal hamri rooth gayee hai

mein sirf dil ki baatein kehta hoon

apney khoon sey likhta hoon

Naya saal aaya hai…Naya saal aaya hai

Jhoot kahoon to mubarak ho sab ko

mein ghalib-o-meer ka bandha 

hirs-o-hawas ki duniya mein bekaar padha hoon.

Ab jaaney do sab log khushiyaan manao

Ki naya saal aaya hai.

Lafz aur Dard

roz sote bhi jagte bhi hain

aur ghumse bhagte bhi hain

saari dhadkan sumokar seene mein

apne dil ko maartey bhi hain

sabhi nirdosh hain doshi hum hain

sub yahi baat jaantey bhi hain

aaj chaha ki ro ke dekh hi lein

woh mujhe kya pehchaantey bhi hain

muskura kar diya gham-e-jahaan ka saath

woh hisaab-o-kitaab jaantey bhi hain

sabhi baithey rahey firashta sifat

koi shaitaan ko pehchaantey bhi hain…..
