tezab..." random verses of my poetry"

waqt rehte khudgarzi ka; ehsaas ho jaaye
aise gale lag; ke zindagi se pyaar ho jaaye...

kambakht dil anjaane mein kitne dil todd deta hai
kaante chubte hain to dard ka pata chalta hai..

naram dil to ab bas; kapde ke milte hain...
sheeshon ke dilon ne hai khuredna seekh liya...

pyaar kitna bhi ho; hadh mein rehna seekh
zayda kareeb aane se; daraarein ubhar aati hain...

door nahi hoon tumse; khud ki talaash mein gum hoon,
nayi bahaar mein phir mera wahi roop hoga...

mosalsal dard ki mere; anant dastaan hai,
roz raat dhalti to hai; par subah nahi hoti...

( mosalsal: never ending, anant: endless )

old days

haal-e-dil kya khaak sunoge
dard mein bhi maze ki baat dhoondoge

pehle dhoondoge ishq ko khwabon mein apne
phir kissi dilkash par woh naqaab bunoge

ungliyaan kab lambi ho gayi pata na chala
kachi umar mein bheegokar guzri bahaar dhoondoge

waqt se mitt jaaye galtiyaan aisa kahan hota hai
naye thhikano pe purane yaar dhoondoge

khidki ke bhoot se ab dar nahi lagta
daroge jab khud ko nangi aankh miloge

kiraaye pe milne lagi hain bhale ishq ki raatein
nayi sehar mein phir purana yaar dhoondoge

life

bina hawa ke gubaron jaisi hai zindagi apni
naa he koi khelne wala hai; naa he gudgudee hoti hai...

diljalon ka karvaan

sog hai iss hassi mein koi
khauff hai nafaz mein bhra
zayda ki chaah mein
jo tha woh bhi gawa baithe yahaan
yeh diljalon ka hai; karvaan...

chuppi ne hain lab siye
shabad tanhayee ke andheron mein gum hain
saath rehna he kya jab
dilon mein meelon ke faaslein hain
sehmi si galiyaan hain
dehshat mein rehte hain makaan
yeh diljalon ka hai; karvaan...

bheed mein rul kar
sakoon ke yeh pal dhoondte hain
aankhon ke sheeshe mein
toote khwaab riste rehte hain
dil pathhar ka hai chahe
mishri se meethi zubaan
yeh diljalon ka hai; karvaan...
dil jalon ka hai saara; yeh karvaan...

chah

apni bhi chah girgit ke rangg si rahi...
kissi ke badn se khele to kissi ki rooh talaash ki...

hindustan banta hai

har signal pe khhade; ek jaise dikhne wale yeh log
sarkari kursi pe baithe; roz bikne wale yeh log
banjar zameen pe aansu giraane wale yeh log
kamzor ko apni taakat se; dabane wale yeh log
yeh hum he hain...yeh hum he hain...
bhukhe pait; nange paer; num aankhon se jab koi
hamari aankhon ke sheeshe ko saaf karta hai
har dil mein tab hindustan banta hai...

lambi gaadiyon mein; chhote dil wale yeh log
mandir masjid mein; bhagwaan bithaane wale yeh log
badi mehfilon mein buth jaise dikhne wale yeh log
peeth pichhe khhanjar; khob kar jaane wale yeh log
yeh hum he hain...yeh hum he hain...
burqe mein chhipi aankhon ne aksar yeh byaan kiya hai
jism frosh se nahi; jism froshon se he bazaar banta hai
har ghar aise he hindustan banta hai...

shaheedon ki barsi pe; jashn manane wale yeh log
chandd sikon; aadhi botal pe; vote baich aane wale yeh log
paid panchhiyon; nadiyon ko dafnaane wale yeh log
apni he galiyon mein khauff; failaane wale yeh log
yeh hum he hain...yeh hum he hain...
meelon chal kar musqil se haasil jo huya
do boond paani ka bhi jab; hisaab banta hai
khoon kar har katra tab hindustan banta hai...

rangeen siyaaheeyon se nahi; zakhmo ke khoon ki kalam se
koi bebas shayar; jab shabdon ka shamshaan banta hai...
ussi chupi mein asli hindustan banta hai...
ussi chupi mein asli hindustan banta hai.....

ehsaas

CHADTE SURAJ ME TUMHE MEHSOOS KARTA HOON...
CHADTE SURAJ ME TUMHE MEHSOOS KARTA HOON...
YUHIN HAR ROZ AAKAR...
MERI TANHAYEE MEIN; TUM SHAMIL HONA...

saath deta hai

umeedon se pare kisi ka jab; pyaar mil jaaye
khushk mausamo mein aggar; bahaar mil jaaye
hamari khhamiyon ko jab koi; naqaar deta hai
achha lagta hai jab koi; saath deta hai...

khhoye sapno ko mudd manzilon ki; dhoop mil jaaye
reit ke mehlon ko lehron ki; dhool mil jaaye
sukhi ghaas ko oss ki; gudgudee sehne do
jab talak na neele ambar ko; zameen ki aag mil jaaye
awara bijliyon ka jab badal; jawaab deta hai...
achha lagta hai jab koi; saath deta hai
apna samajh kar; jab koi taqraar deta hai
achha lagta hai jab koi; saath deta hai...


bachpan ki patango'n' ko jawaani ki; dor mil jaaye
chhipti khamoshiyon ko honslon ka; shor mil jaaye
patthar ke seene mein kuch der; moem ko rehne do
jab talak naa shama parwano mein; shamil ho jaaye
bandh galiyon se jab koi; awaaz deta hai...
achha lagta hai jab koi; saath deta hai
gale lag kar jab koi gam saare; khaar deta hai...
achha lagta hai jab koi; saath deta hai...

kyu

har waqt teri iltija kyu hai
hai jawaab; ke sawaal tu hai
jab naa tha tu; intezaar tha
abb jo hai; dil mein bawaaal kyu hai

iltija: pray, request

main aur maine

Inn pathron pe jami; iss jhharne ki boondein
tere honthon ki yaad dilaati hain mujhe
peekar isse pyaas bujhaane ka mann tha
shayad peekar isse; pyaas aur badhayee hai maine...

Iss reit ke seene mein sakoon yeh kaisa hai
isse chhooh kar; ek chahat si jaagi hai mann mein
kitni der iski godd mein soya tha main
uthne par bhi; neend aakhon mein paayi hai maine...

Iss aag ki bahaaon mein; tapish si hai jo
yeh bhi mere badn ki jaani pehchaani hai
jism to j'la; par angaare rakh naa huye
seik deekar isse; aag aur badhayee hai maine...

zaroor iss fiza mein nasheela sa hai kuch
kissi latakti zulf ki; shararat ke jaisa
jitna nasha isse suljhaane mein huya
ussi madhoshi mein; isse aur uljhaaya hai maine...

apne he badn se; mann khelne jab lagta hai
dil ke kothe pe rooh; jab bikne lagti hai
jab khud ke zehan se he; ghinn aane lagti hai
waqt aisa bhi saath apne; bitaaya hai maine...

duaa

reh jaaye tu meri panahon mein
bas; yahi guzarish hai meri duaaon mein
patton ko oss ki boondein; chhoohti hai jis tarhan
dhoond ne de khwaab; teri palkon ko meri nighahon mein...

patton: leaves

salaam-e-shiv (a tribute to the legend)

birho nu kachi umar viyaan waleyaa
zakhma nu bhun bhun khaan waleyaa
aj v iss mitti de kaleje wichon kade kade
tere geetan di khusboo hai mil jaandi
baat ishq ch ruleyaan di jad jad turdi
murr ghirr kadi aa ke shiv naal jud jaandi...

waqt ton pehlan aayi soojh, tainu lai baithi
shama nu bachaan di, teri zidd tainu lai baithi
aj v ehna raatan de sannaate wichon kai vaari
tere hijr de geetan di goonj kanni pai jaandi
maag di dopehar wali dhup kade kade
hoo-ba-hoo tere shabdan de; yaar naal mil jaandi
baat ishq ch ruleyaan di jad jad turdi
murr ghirr kadi aa ke shiv naal jud jaandi...
