Tasveer Se Zindagi Tak

Tasveer se to mulakaatein ho jaati hain,
par dil ko sukoon tab milta hai
jab insaan khud saamne khada ho…

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Tasveer Se Zindagi Tak:

Arz Kiya Hai…

Hum unko dekh to lete hain,
lekin bas unki tasveeron mein…
Woh door hain, par unka chehra
har tasveer mein ek nayi dhadkan jaga deta hai.

Kabhi tasveer hath mein le kar
dil chup sa ho jaata hai…
jaise har lamha unki yaadon se
baatein kar raha ho.

Raat ki gehraai jab barh jaati hai,
to unki yaad aur tez ho kar
dil ke ek kone mein chupke se baith jaati hai.
Aisa lagta hai jaise samaa ruk gaya ho,
aur hum sirf unke intezaar mein zinda hon.

Mobile ki screen par unka chehra
ek pal ko umeed deta hai,
phir ek halki si kasak dil ke andar
kahin gehra utar jaati hai…
ki yeh tasveer hai, zindagi nahi.

Unki tasveer ki muskurahat pyari lagti hai,
magar woh asli muskurahat…
jise dekh kar ruh tak sukoon milta hai,
uski kami har din kuch aur badh jaati hai.

Dil roz ek hi baat sochta rehta hai—
kab woh saamne khade honge,
kab unki awaaz paas sunayi degi,
kab ek pal mein saari dooriyaan
mitt kar sirf qurbat reh jaayegi.

Kab woh tasveer se utar kar
zindagi mein wapas aa jayenge…
jahaan hum tasveer nahi,
unka haqeeqi chehra dekh kar
khushi se muskura saken.

Aakhir mein yahi sach hai…
Hum unko dekhte to hain,
par abhi bhi sirf tasveeron mein…
aur dil har roz un lamhon ka intezaar karta hai
jahan tasveer ka silsila khatam ho,
aur mulaqat ka safar shuru ho jaye.
