ab raton ko nind nahi ati...

ab raton ko nind nahi ati aur din ka qaraar kho gaya
hai ek shaqs jo mere khayalon pe sawaar ho gaya
sab hota hai khel naseebon ka ‘sharma’
tune dil ko na bichdne dena tha,aur wahi gumnaam ho gaya…

wo mujhe kabhi tanha nahi chodta...

(a novice attempt to write a triveni, a distinct style invented by the living legend...gulzaar)

wo mujhe kabhi tanha nahi chodta
mein rooth bhi jaun khud se kabhi
wo mujh se muh nahi modta...

jane ye kaunsa rishta ban raha hai us se
jane kyu apna sa lagta hai wo
mera dil mujh se kabhi jhooth nahi bolta...

ye tasveer si kyu banti hai us ki khayalon mein
kyu us ke deedaar ko tadap raha hu mein
aise to man mera kabhi nahi dolta...

ae khuda itna karam karna mujh pe ab
ki use door na karna nigahon se, qayamat hogi
han banda ye tera jhooth nahi bolta...

wo itna haseen lagta kyu hai...

wo itna haseen lagta kyu hai
mein janta nahi hu use fir bhi
ye dil se dil ka rishta kyu hai
kyu hota hai ye kabhi, ki koi
dil mein chup chaap sama jata hai
kyu kabhi koi apna nahi ban pata
aur man usi ke piche bhaga jata hai
hai ye shaks kaun jo chaya hai is kadar khayalaat mein mere
kyu wo paraya ho kar bhi apna nazar ata hai
hai ye kaun jo itna masoom sa lagta hai mujhe
ki naqsh us ka mere zehan mein samaya jata hai
aisa hota hai kyu ki dil mein wahi hai samata
jud jate hai usi se sab rishte, jo dil tod ke chala jata hai...

kyu ek GHAZAL si dikhaai deti hai mujhe us mein
kyu mera dil us ke naam pe dooba jata hai...
hai ye kaun jo mujhe apna banaye jata hai
mujh ko mujhi se churaye jata hai...

raqs parwane ka dekh ke...

raqs parwane ka dekh ke sab man behlate hai
wo kis chahat mein jalta hai ye koi nahi sochta
subah bahut khushnuma lagti hai bheegi bheegi ghans par
kaun rat ko itna roya hoga ye koi nahi sochta
hum deewano ka itna hi fasana hota hai bas, ke
heer-ranjha ko pooj-te hai sab, un ke milne ki dua koi nahi sochta
ye awara se nagme jo kuch hote hai bayan
sunte inko sab hai, par dil mein hai dard kitna
ye koi nahi sochta...

na dava ne asar kiya...

na dava ne asar kiya, na dua kam ai mere
jo teri yad ai, bas ek may kam ai mere
jab tera khayal ata tha, mein bekhayal ho jata tha
aise mein dost wahi hua, jisne sharaab muh lagai mere...(to be cont.)

han pehli bar meine dekha hai mohabbat ko...

(i recently visited the place where it all started...madurai medical college...and while leaving it, i was kind of sad...aisa lag raha tha jaise dil mein kuch toot sa raha hai...kuch dard hai...aisa kuch jise bhula pana namumkin hoga...this prompted to me to write this compostion...which is quite different from others)


jab hum un galiyion se guzarte hai, dil mein yadon ke bhawar uth-te hai
yaad ati hai unki kuch is tarah, jaise ki hum parchaiyon ke peeche chalte hai
kash wo waqt hum fir se ji sakte, to un se kehte ki kya guzarti thi hamare dil pe
jab wo un qatar nigahon se dekhte the humein
ke ye shayari, ye GHAZAL, sab unhi se mukhatib hai
ki kyu na hum keh pae unhe kabhi dil ki bat...ke chaha tha un ko is kadar
jaise koi apni zindagi ko chahta hai, ki wo ibadat the meri, aur aaj bhi
har zoo unki arzoo karta hai dil, har pal unhi ko dhoondhti hai ankhein...
ki har din ek saza hai un ke bin ab...lekin kaise keh dein unko ye
ke dil unko khone ke khayal se itna darta hai ki unko pane se ghabrata hai...
ye sab ab sirf batein hai karne ki, kuch kehne ki kuch sun-ne ki
lekin ye sach hai meri zindagi ka, jo kabhi na badlega...
han pehli bar meine dekha hai mohabbat ko, meine jiya hai us pal ko...
han meine khoya hai us shaqs ko...meine khoya hai us pal ko...

dil dard ka ek dariya hai, ise mohabbat se milne na do...

dil dard ka ek dariya hai, ise mohabbat se milne na do
jo ho jae kabhi kisi se pyar, use dil se nikalne na do...

masoom si nigahon mein pyar ka fasana hota hai
jane kitni jan leti hai, jane kin pe unhe mar jana hota hai
un masoom nigahon se apni nigahein milne na do
han, dil dard ka ek dariya hai, ise mohabbat se milne na do...

ishq jo ho gaya, apna dil hi tumhara na rahega
jagaaega raaton ko kisi ka naam leke, tumhe majboor kar dega
apne hosh sambhalo, inhe yu gumne na do
han, dil dard ka ek dariya hai, ise mohabbat se milne na do...

mehboob ke dar se laut ana asaan nahi hota
zindagi thahar jati hai, guzara nahi hota
apni zindagi ko is kadar thaharne na do
han, dil dard ka ek dariya hai, ise mohabbat se milne na do...

Mere khwabon mein ek saya sa ata hai...

mere khwabon mein ek saya sa ata hai
ek naksh sa banta hai aur dhul jata hai
ek kasak si uth-ti hai aur sihar jata hu mein
har pal mujhe wo bas teri yad dilata hai...

aap se mila tha mein, aap ko chaha tha humne
aap ki yadon se har lamhe ka sajaya tha humne
dil poochta hai ki jab koi zindagi mein itna ho shamil
to kyu akhir wo nata tod jata hai...

kya kisi ko chahna hi kafi nahi hota
kya apna sab kuch lutana kafi nahi hota
kyu ishq mangta hai dil se nikla khoon
kyu hota hai ki in ke bawjood dil toot jata hai...

hum ghataon mein hai ghire hue
lagta hai ki girte hai ansu baraste hue
kyu lagta hai ki suraj ki chamak hai sirf tujhe hasil
kyu hota hai ki nazar mein aur koi nahi samata hai...

humne lakh koshish ki ke lab pe tera naam na ae
maikhana-o-sharaab se hi sahi, nasha tera utar jae
har koshish naakaam rahi aur hum har gae
akhir pehle pyar ko kahi koi bhool pata hai...

ye dooriyan ye fasle dilon ke...

ye rasm-e-mohabbat, ye riwayatein zamane ki
dil pe hai sau pabandiyan, kaise jatan karu tere dil mein jagah banana ki
ye dooriyan ye fasle dilon ke, kitni hai mushkilein raste par
dekh kaisi kaisi koshish karu mein dooriyan ghatane ki
tu khush hai mujh se door ye soch ke ji leta hu
fir koshish bhi kya karu tere karib aane ki
sab raste le jate hai mujhe tujhse door yaha
mein dhoondh raha hu koi dagar tere dil tak jane ki
ye silla mila hai mujhe teri chahat ka sanam
zindagi se bola hai, nahi zaroorat mere karib aane ki
ab khushiyan bhi aati hai dard ki saugaat liye
aur dil rota hai, ki koi umeed nahi tere laut ane ki….

ke tera khayal a raha hai mujhe...

aaj fir kalam uthi hai meri
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
aaj fir ek nagma hoga bayan
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
hasratein ho rahi hai jawan
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
toot-ti sansein fir jud rahi hai
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
hai fir ek nayi umang jagi
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
lagta hai ek fariyad hai baki
ke tera khayal aa rha hai mujhe
ab poojne laga hu rab ko mein
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
tera hijr ab nahi nibhta mujhse
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
aaj fir dil tuta hai mera
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe
aaj fir khoon behta hai ankhon se
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe…
hun mein majboor kaise karu tujhse bayan
jo dard dukha raha hai mujhe
hai bas teri hi khalish baki is dil-e-naamuraad mein
jo pal-pal tadpa raha hai mujhe…
ke tera khayal aa raha hai mujhe...

hum tere intzar mein khud ko khatam kiye jate hai...

hum tere intzar mein khud ko khatam kiye jate hai
dil ke jale hum tere pyar mein apne zakhm hare kiye jate hai
lab pe hai dua ki teri khushi ki hifazat khuda kare
arman tujhe pane ka liye hum khud ko dafan kiye jate hai…
tum se hi hai ab tak sab khushiyon ki nisbat
ab tum nahi to inko bhi dafan kiye jate hai
tum aao ye dua rahegi lab pe hamesha
ye na ho ki tum aao aur hum (duniya se) chale jate hai….

tujhe jitni baar yaad karu...

tujhe jitni baar yaad karu, utni baar ek maut maru
ek tu hi mujhe tadpata raha, ek tu hi mujhe satata raha
meine dekhe the jo sapne tere, har pal unhe jiyu, har pal unhe dafan karu
teri yad mujhe satati hai, teri khalish dil chalni kar jati hai
har pal mein rou, har pal mein hasu
ab tu hi bata mein kya karu aur kya na karu
tujhe khwab mein dekh jita mein gaya
dekh teri chahat ne mujhe kaha la diya
ab aage rasta nahi aur manzil hai door kahi
anjaan mulk anjaan dagar,hu akela, na koi humsafar
dil darta hai tu door kahi
mein tujhse juda, tu nazron mein nahi
aankhon mein ab nind nahi
mera dil hai kahi, mera chain kahi
mein aise na jiyu, aur tere bin na maru
ab tu hi bata mein kya karu aur kya na karu….

in hoton ki hansi na dekh...

in hoton ki hansi na dekh
ankhon mein nihaa mera dard bhi dekh le
teri yad ke guhar se saja rakha hai jo
wo hansi tajmahal bhi dekh le…

(nihan-burried/hidden, guhar-pearl)

ye zaroori to nahi...

dil toote aur awaaz ho ye zaroori to nahi
ashq ankhon se bahe har waqt ye zaroori to nahi
yu bhi hota hai aksarki marg-e-dil dikhai nahi deti
har maut pe ho shook mehfil ye zaroori to nahi...

(marg-e-dil= death of heart)

har dard bayan kiya jae ye zaroori to nahi
har zakhm dil ka dikhaya jae ye zaroori to nahi
bahut bar hota hai ye bhi ke ankhein keh deti hai daastan sari
har bat zabani kahi jae ye zaroori to nahi...

hum tum se pyar karte hai ye sach hai lekin
aur kisi se na kare ye zaroori to nahi
dil pe asar tere husn-o-shabaab ka hai
asar may ka na ho us pe ye zaroori to nahi...

(may=sharab)

dil pe chaya nasha tere pyar ka hole-hole...

dil pe chaya nasha tere pyar ka hole hole
mushkil mein pad gai meri jan hole hole
hai kuch khayal tera mujhe, kuch asar hai sharab ka
khul rahi hai dil ki kitaab hole hole...

yun to aksar tanhai kat jati thi jaam ke sath
aaj asar kuch aur hua teri yad ka hole hole
rat baki hai abhi raaz ko raaz hi rehne do
ke utthenge sab parde dilon se hole hole...

tum hote to ro k guzaar lete ye raat bhi
tum ne ye bhi sahara cheen liya humse hole hole
gul aur bhi hai gulistaan mein magar, abhi nasha teri chaahat ka hai
ke behkegi hamari bhi nazar hole hole...

dil masroof hai...

dil masroof hai har pal tere khayal mein
tera rang dhoondh raha hu holi k gulaal mein...
