“Jo log khushbu ban kar yaad rah jaate hain…
– Zulfikar Inamdar
woh kabhi wapas nahi aate,
bas insaan ki poori zindagi ko mehka kar chhod jaate hain.”
Khushbu Jo Qismat Ban Jaaye:
Arz kiya hai… ke…
Najaane kis khushbu se tarashe gaye ho tum,
Lagta hai Rab ki khamosh duaon se bane ho tum…
Phoolon ki mehak bhi sharma jaati hai tum par,
Kisi adhoori tamanna ka silsila ho tum…
Tumhari tasveer ko dekhu to waqt theher jaata hai,
Jaise bejaan lamhon mein rooh bhar gaye ho tum…
Log kehte hain tasveer sirf surat dikhati hai,
Magar mujhe har dafa khushbu suna gaye ho tum…
Yeh kaisa ehsaas hai jo samajh nahi aata,
Door reh kar bhi dil ke kareeb aa gaye ho tum…
Main hawaon mein tumhe mehsoos karta hoon har raat,
Jaise meri tanhaaiyon ka jawab ban gaye ho tum…
Kabhi lagta hai yeh mehak tumhari apni nahi,
Meri hi chahat ko lautakar sata gaye ho tum…
Aur kabhi dil darr se bhar uthta hai achanak,
Jaise meri zindagi ka imtihaan ban gaye ho tum…
Agar tasveer se hi itni mehak aati hai tumhari,
To saamne aa kar kaunsi qayamat dhaa gaye ho tum…
Shayad us lamhe meri saansein ruk si jaayengi,
Ya meri rooh ko hamesha ke liye chhoo gaye ho tum…
Kabhi kabhi tanha baith kar yeh sochta hoon,
Ke shayad meri qismat mein likhe hi nahi ho tum…
Aur agar likhe bhi gaye ho kahin taqdeer mein,
To itni der se ke main khud se hi kho chuka hoon…
Na main raha hoon pehle jaisa, na meri duniya waisi,
Bas ek khushbu hai jo aaj bhi mujhe jeene nahi deti…
Tum mile bhi nahi… aur kho bhi gaye ho tum,
Main zinda bhi hoon… aur mar bhi gaya hoon tum mein…
