Raaton ki Kismat

“Saccha tha ishq, gehra tha dard…
Phir bhi Rab par yakeen tha;
Aaj nahi to kal, wo meri manzil ban kar rahegi.”

-Zulfikar Inamdar

🌙 “Raaton Ki Qismat”:

(Zulfikar Inamdar ke ehsaas se)

Arz kiya hai…

Main maangta raha usko tahajjud ki raaton me,
Par meri duaaon ka nateeja kisi aur ke saath nikla…
Socha tha sabr jeet jaayega,
Magar ishq ka imtihaan sajdon se bhi sakht nikla.

Woh meri dhadkan ka raaz tha,
Par apne raaz mujhe kabhi samjha na saka.
Main uske lafzon me sach dhoondta raha,
Aur woh har baat me ek naya jhoot saja kar aaya.

Din bhar duniya se lad kar laut aata tha,
Aur raat ko uska gham mere seene me phoot jaata tha.
Main bikhar kar bhi uska naam izzat se leta raha,
Woh jud kar bhi meri wafaa ko samajh na paaya.

Kayi baar uski khamoshi me ek pukaar mehsoos hui,
Par kareeb jaakar pata chala—
Woh pukaar mere liye hi nahi thi,
Aur main sirf uski tanhaayi ka ek hissa ban gaya.

Maine Allah se poocha:
“Ya Rab, yeh dard kyun diya?”
Aur jawab mila—
“Jisko tune apna samjha,
Woh meri likhi hui kisi aur ki manzil ka musafir tha.”

Mujhe yakeen hai, mere Rab ne mujhe kabhi mayus nahi kiya…
Itni sakhti me bhi mujhe akela nahi chhoda…
Ummeed hai mere Rab se…
Aaj nahi to kal, wo meri ho kar rahegi.

Ab haqeeqat ko kabool kar liya hai,
Magar zakham abhi bhi taza hai.
Woh chala gaya…
Par meri raaton ka sukoon abhi tak wapas nahi aaya.

Main uske liye khair maangta hoon,
Kyuki ishq ki ada yeh hai—
Baddua ka bojh uthana rooh ko kamzor kar deta hai.
Aur main kamzor nahi hona chahta…
Bas toot kar bhi uske liye achha hi chahta hoon.

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai—
Agar woh ek baar palat kar pooch leti,
“Kaise ho?”
To mera aadha gham wahi gir jaata.
Par woh awaaz kabhi nahi aayi,
Aur main aadhi raaton me toot kar bhi chup rehna seekh gaya.

🌹 Reel-Ending (Perfect Emotional Closure):

“Main sajdon me roota raha…
Woh kisike hothon ki muskaan me jeeti rahi.
Ishq mera saccha tha—
Bas kismet ne saath dena kab ka chhod diya.
Par mujhe yakeen hai, mere Rab se…
Aaj nahi to kal, wo meri ho kar rahegi.”
