Safar-e-Zulfi

Arz kiya hai…

Quote:
“Jo insaan apne dard ko khamoshi se jeeta hai,
aksar uski zindagi hi sabse gehri shayari ban jaati hai.”

Zindagi ne bohot imtihaan liye mujhse,
Magar har dard ko muskurakar jhela hai maine.
Raaste badalte rahe har mod par mere,
Magar hauslon ka diya kabhi na bujhne diya maine.

Kabhi waqt ne tanha kar diya mehfilon me,
Kabhi apne hi ajnabi nazar aane lage.
Jin par kabhi dil ko fakhr hua karta tha,
Wahi log dheere dheere paraye nazar aane lage.

Mai aksar khamoshi se guzar jaata hu duniya se,
Jaise hawa ka halka sa jhonka hota hai.
Koi rok nahi paata, koi samajh nahi paata,
Bas waqt ka safar hi mera saathi hota hai.

Na shikwa kisi se, na gila kisi se,
Ye zindagi ka dastoor samajh liya maine.
Jo mila usse bhi muskurakar qubool kiya,
Jo kho gaya usse bhi sabr se rukhsat kiya maine.

Kabhi kabhi raat ki tanhai me dil kehta hai,
Kya meri kahani bhi kabhi samjhi jayegi.
Aaj jo khamoshi meri pehchaan bani hai,
Kal shayad meri dastaan kahi jayegi.

Magar is safar me ek roshni bhi saath rahi,
Jo har andhere me ujala ban kar aayi.
Jab thak kar rukne laga tha dil mera,
To masoom si muskurahat ne himmat dilayi.

Wahi chhoti chhoti duaon jaisi roshniyaan,
Meri zindagi ka sukoon ban gayi kahin.
Jinke liye har thakan bhi asaan lagti hai,
Wahi meri duniya ka junoon ban gayi kahin.

Aur aakhir me Zulfi ne bas itna likha,
Ke meri kahani bhi ajeeb fasana hai.
Mai mehfilon ka hissa chahe na ban saka,
Magar tanha chalna hi mera zamana hai.

Aakhri sher:

Kal jab meri zindagi ka zikr hoga kahin,
To log thoda thehar kar sochenge zaroor.
Tanha safar me bhi muskurata raha jo umr bhar,
“Zulfi”… us jaisa sabr wala milta nahi har door. 🌙🌹
