Tumhare intezaar mein~

Main anant ek raat ban,
Anginat taaren jalati rahi,
Har ek subah ki khoj mein,
Neend ko nazarandaz karti gayi.

Rangeen badalon ki khwahish dabaye,
Main baarish ko ghar bulati gayi.
Aankhon ki mitti gili thi lekin,
Palkon k saaye tumhe rakhti rahi.

Beychain rehti hain raahen ab,
Kuch mahino se zara anban hain,
Fursat mile toh aa k dekhna,
K ye sab kiske karan hain.

Apr 25, 8:30 pm

I look into the mirror,
trying to rescue the pieces of my old self still remaining,
those that often peep out through my eyeballs
and mostly stay inside my trembling heart.
My heart trembles, sometimes in fear, sometimes in underestimation,
sometimes carrying the burden of all desires that ended up in vain,
throughout all these years.

I don't know exactly,
how to rescue my pieces, but somedays like today,
I feel the necessity to do so.
I yearn for a safe corner for them. I wish I could
provide them with a life jacket, to prevent them
from exhaustion any further.

Jab antarmann ki khamoshi goonj uthe,
Aur kahi pohochne ka kinara na ho,
Sitaron k sehron mein jab,
Anginat khwaabon ki laashein ho~
Tab tumhare pass aane se agar,
Ek sitara har roz ghar aane lage,
Tumhe choo kar agar,
Patajhaad bhi khilne lage,
Aur badalon ki baahen rangeen ho kar
Aasman ko gherne lage,

Toh batao~
Tumhare aage aur kya hain?
Tumse behtar aur kya hain?

Tum tak pohochne mein,
Aur dur kahi kho jaane mein,
koi antar nhi~

Tum ho mano jaise,
Samaaj k viparit behti koi dhara,
Jisne nadi k roop ko tyag kar,
Mann k bhedon ko samajhna chaha.
Tum se hokar guzarti,
Anginat chintayein meri,
Kahi ko na pohoch kar bhi
Uttar de jati hain.
Sayad ho tum mere hi mann k swaroop,
Jis k roop se main bhi anjaan hoon.
Lekin meri zarooraton ne aksar,
Tum hi ko ghar mana hain,
Raah chalte khwaabon ko mere,
Tum hi ne sahara diya hain.

— % &Aur tumhare liye kabhi kabar,
Sabdon ki kami ho jati hain.
Kyu ki bohot si baatein hain,
Jiske karan tum ek acche insaan ho,
Jiske karan main tum se jud jaati hoon,
Jaise jud jaati hain motiyaan,
Maheen kisi dor k sahare.
Aur aise hi tumhare milne se,
Hazaron logon ki bheed,
Aur hazaron tarah k shor,
Mano kahi jaa kar sthir ho jaate hain.
— % &Ab isse pyaar kaahe ya phir apnapan,
Issi duvidha k rehte,
Ek bar phir tumse milna chahti hoon,
Issi ummed mein k tum tak pohochte pohochte,
Inn dono mein koi antar na raahe.


Waise hi jaise ~
Tum tak pohochne mein,
Aur dur kahi kho jaane mein,
Koi antar nhi !— % &

Seharon ki bhaagdaur mein,
Mere chanchal mann ki rait
Kahi jaa kar thehre agar,
Toh woh haath tumhari hogi,
Yeh main janti hoon.

Kitna mushkil hota hain,
Kisi k chanchal mann ko sambhalna.
Neeji jeevan k utar charav k
Saath saath,
Kisi aur ki raahein jan jana,
Kisi aur ko sambhalna,
Kitna mushkil hota hain ye sab.
Aur yeh tumhe aata hain.

Gumsum inn galiyon mein,
Kahi se agar ek chehra dikh jaye,
Kahi se agar tum dikh jaon~
Toh log keh payenge,
K yeh galiyaan bekar hi badnaam hain!

-

Dekho aaj ek bar phir se,
Tumhare naam ki khat kho gayi,
Na jaane kahan ko chalke,
Woh chupke se ja so gayi.

-

Tumhara hona zaroori hain,
Ta ki mujhe, prem se prem rahe.

Dhalti hain jo shaamein
Tumhare naam se aksar,
Unhi shaamon mein,
Main phool ban khil uthu~
Aur intezaar tumhara karte karte,
Raat koi naazm keh jaaye,
Chaand phir zameen utar aaye,
Meethi si koi dhun suna jaaye.

Yeh lamha kitna pyara hoga,
Aksar issi khayal mein rehte rehte,
Subah se shaam ki doori,
Yahi sab tum se kehte kehte,
Aur yuhi kahi inn sab k liye,
Prem se prem hona, zaroori hain,
Tumhara hona zaroori hain!

Beyhadh!

Waqt k rehte waqt ko,
kaid karne ki koshish,
Nakaam rahi hain yeh jankar,
Issi waqt k hawaale ab
Yaadon ko chhod dete hain!

Maddham si ek aanch pe ab,
Dilon ko senk lete hain,
Sambhaal lete hain.
Aur yeh maan lete hain,
Ki jalti rahegi ab kayi yaadein,
Phir yaadein banane ki chahat mein.

Raatein gehri hain,
Ab jab tum paas nhi.
Raatein maddham bhi hain,
Ab jab yaadein hain saath mere.
Yeh intezaar kitna pyara hain,
Yeh intezaar pyaar hain!

-

Pal pal aise khwaab sajaye,
Main har pal tumhe sochti hoon,
Jin palon ka hisaab tumhe na ho,
Unhi palon mein tumse milti hoon.
