Naraazgi ke Uspaar:

“Dosti ka asli imtihaan gusse me nahi,
Wapas laut aane ki himmat me hota hai…
Narazgi me tu aaj bhi khoobsurat lagta hai dost,
Par tere bina dil kabhi poora nahi hota.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Naraazgi ke Uspaar:

Arz Kiya Hai…

Tujhse baat na ho, to lagta hai din adhoora reh gaya,
Teri woh hasi, teri woh baatein… sab kuch kahin rasta bhool kar reh gaya.
Narazgi ka aansu shayad teri palkon tak na aaya ho,
Par mere dil ne to kab ka ro kar aansuon ka samaan bhar liya.

Kabhi socha nahi tha, ek chhoti si baat itna bojh ban jaayegi,
Hum dono ki dosti ki raaton me itni gehri andheri chha jaayegi.
Tu samajhta hoga ki main theek hoon… par nahi dost,
Teri khamoshi mujhe din bhar bechaini ki tarah sataati rehti hai.

Main roz khud se hi ladta hoon,
Ke ‘chhor de, usse farq nahi padta’,
Par phir dil ke kone se ek awaaz aati hai—
‘Woh dost hai… farq padta hi hoga, bas keh nahi pa raha.’

Yaad hai tujhe woh din jab hum bina wajah bhi hans padte the?
Choti si baat par ek dusre ka gussa chura lete the?
Aaj wohi waqt yaad aata hai to lagta hai—
Shikwe gile bhi kitne pyaare the,
Kam se kam baat to hoti thi… aaj to chup rehne ka dard hai.

Agar galti meri thi, to maine sau baar khud ko suna diya,
Agar teri thi… to maine usko bhi khud par hi le liya.
Dosti ka matlab hi yahi hota hai na dost—
‘Tera gussa bhi qabool, tera door rehna bhi bardaasht,
Bas tu khafa na reh…’
Par tu to iss baar khafa bhi nazar nahi aata,
Lage jaise tere dil me mere liye jagah thodi si kam ho gayi ho…

Main ye nahi chahta ke tu jhuk kar laut aaye…
Bas itna chahta hoon ke apna dil ek baar bol de,
‘Haan, yaad aata hai tu… chahe gussa abhi bhi zinda ho.’

Chal ek kaam karte hain…
Tu ek kadam badha, main das badha dunga,
Tu ek baar muskurade, main gusse ki poori raat mita dunga,
Tu bas itna keh de—“chal baat karte hain”,
Main apne saare shikwe samandar me phek aunga.

Dosti sasti baat nahi dost…
Woh Allah ka diya hua ek aisa rishta hai,
Jise tod dena aasaan,
Par jodna… sirf asli logon ka kaam hota hai.

Main aaj bhi teri raah me aankhon bhar ke khada hoon,
Shayad tu laut aaye…
Shayad tu keh de—“Naraz to tha…
Par tere bin dil laaye kaise?”
