Shaayar

Saba kuch likhuun ya kuch bhee naa likhuun? Kya hee likhuun ke tujko naa likhuun? Bhatak raha hoon in andheron mein yoon hee Naaraaz chaand hai ya thaaron kee kamee? Jo khwaab dekhe the in aankhon ne kabhi Un khwaabon kee kaheen ye raakh bhee nahin Kahaa tha mujko jisane "ghar" kabhi Rukhsat hua, jala gaya vo sabhee Vafaa se hee muje vafaa kee ummid Hain gam milee to aaj vo hee qareeb Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko Kalam main chhoduun jab, tuje main dikhuungaa jesaa hoon asal mein main Dikhuungaa tuje jab aankhon se paradaa hataayegi to bagal mein rah Par bagal mein rahana too, rahana too asal, naa kisi kee nakal too rah Aur agar too nakal to teri is kamal-see shakal ka karoon kya main? Ye shaayari hai tere laayak nahin To shaayad hee tere kisi kaam aaegee Aur ab bhee hai khatkati teri yahaan kamee Ye khaali ghar hai jaise sukhi koyi nadi Aur too hai jo yahaan aaj jalapari banee Par hai samandar fir bhee kaaraa hee to hee Ye khel hai aisa jismein fas chuke hain main aur aap bhee To kya hua agar main likhte vaqt banoon sharaabee? Aur is samaya in chizon mein nahin dikhti koyi karaabi Jab guzaregaa ye pal to aaegee nahin too yaad zaraa bhee Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko Gira ke muje in andheron mein, maazi mera saath aayaa hai Gira ke muje in andheron mein, maazi mera saath aayaa hai Ajab shaks hai, qatal bhee kiya, aur gale bhee lagaaya hai Gale bhee lagaaya hai, chhoo ke jalaayaa hai Jalanaa nahin, too sooraj nahin, too chaand hai mera Dikhe to hai ujalaa, nahin to hai andhera Aur har raat hain tere alag bhes Aa, ghumaun tujko alag desh main alag se Garajte ye baadal, tere-mere beech baarish ho rahee hai Main chilla raha hoon darad se Aur soch raha hoon, "uska arth kya hai" Main soch raha hoon, "mera farz kya hai" Jaise-jaise dil kee chotein khaataa Vaise pata chalta, hona hota mard kya hai Naa, main nahin hoon koyi shaayar Baathen banane kee fitrat hai dil mein Par likhata hoon kyunki main nahin hoon koyi kaayar Main nahin hoon koyi kaayar, hoon bahut hee maahir Main duniyaa ghumuun jaise pahiyaa aur tire Main fire, ye chaahate main ho jaaoon retire I tried lekin yahaan dil ke hain bajte sitar Har baar kahanikar Aur, haan, mera chaand nahin dikhaa muje fir kabhi Baadal aaye, baadal barase, baadal chhante Kayi raat kee amaavas aayi Fir chaand aayaa par vaisaa nahin aayaa Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko Meri shaayari se naa mujko aanko Jahaan kalam chhoduun main, vahaan mujhamen jhaanko
