“Hum zindagi ko samajhte-samajhte itne badal gaye,
– Zulfikar Inamdar
ke ab dard bhi apna lagta hai aur khamoshi bhi.” 🖤
Zindagi Se Bas Itna Sa Gila Hai…
Arz kiya hai ke…
Kahan khatam hoti hain zindagi ki uljhanein,
Ek dard ko samjho, toh doosra saamne khada milta hai…
Hum jis pal ko sukoon samajh kar jeena chahte hain,
Wahi pal jaane kyun, sabse pehle chhoot jaata hai…
Kabhi khwaabon ne aankhon mein ghar banaya tha,
Kabhi apnon ne dil mein apna jahaan basaya tha,
Magar waqt ki ek aandhi kya guzri hum par,
Na khwaab rahe… na woh log rahe,
Jinhe humne apni zindagi samjha tha…
Kuch log mile toh laga,
Ab safar tanha nahi rahega…
Phir wahi log is tarah bichhad gaye,
Ke unke baad kisi ko apna kehne ka
Honsla hi nahi raha…
Ajeeb hai na zindagi bhi—
Jise hum dil se chahte hain,
Wahi humse door hota chala jaata hai…
Aur jise hum bhool jaana chahte hain,
Uski yaad har raat
Khamoshi se paas baith jaati hai…
Humne bhi kabhi bahut shiddat se
Khush rehne ki koshish ki thi,
Magar kuch gham aise hote hain
Jo chehre se muskurahat toh le jaate hain,
Lekin aankhon se kabhi nahi jaate…
Ab kisi se shikayat bhi nahi karte,
Kis-kis ko apna dard samjhaayenge…
Log toh bas itna poochte hain,
“Sab theek hai?”
Aur hum muskura kar keh dete hain,
“Haan… sab theek hai…”
Kaun samjhega ke is chhote se “haan” ke peeche
Kitni raaton ki khamoshi dabi hai…
Kabhi-kabhi dil karta hai
Sab kuch chhod kar kahin door chale jaayein,
Jahan koi pehchaan na ho,
Koi sawaal na ho,
Koi umeed na ho…
Bas hum hon aur
Khamoshi ka ek lamba sa safar…
Magar phir andar se ek awaaz aati hai—
“Abhi safar baaki hai…”
Toh hum phir uthte hain,
Apne aansuon ko aankhon mein hi chhupa lete hain,
Bikhre hue khwaabon ko
Seene mein samet lete hain,
Aur duniya ke saamne
Phir se muskura dete hain…
Kyunki logon ko
Sirf hamari muskurahat nazar aati hai,
Koi hamare andar ka
Toofan nahi dekh pata…
Sach toh ye hai,
Hum thak gaye hain sabko samjhaate-samjhaate,
Thak gaye hain khud ko sambhalte-sambhalte,
Thak gaye hain un rishton ko bachate-bachate
Jinhe shayad kabhi hamari zaroorat hi nahi thi…
Ab bas Khuda se ek hi dua hai—
Jo cheez mere naseeb mein nahi,
Uski talab mere dil se mita de…
Jo mere liye nahi,
Uski yaad se bhi azaad kar de…
Aur jo mere liye likha hai,
Usey mere dar tak
Itni mohabbat se le aa
Ke mujhe phir kabhi
Kisi cheez ke kho jaane ka darr na rahe…
Kyunki ab humne seekh liya hai—
Har kisi ko paana zaroori nahi hota,
Har rishte ko nibhaana zaroori nahi hota,
Har dard ka jawaab dena zaroori nahi hota…
Kabhi-kabhi khamoshi bhi
Ek mukammal jawaab hoti hai…
Aur zindagi…
Zindagi toh bas itna sikhaati hai—
Jo mila, uska shukr karo…
Jo chala gaya, usey sabr se jaane do…
Jo toot gaya, usey naseeb samajh kar chhod do…
Aur jo ab bhi tumhare paas hai,
Usey mohabbat se sambhaal lo…
Kyunki waqt dobara laut kar nahi aata,
Log dobara wahi nahi milte,
Aur zindagi…
Zindagi har mod par aazmaati zaroor hai,
Magar har baar tootne ke baad
Insaan ko pehle se zyada gehra bana jaati hai…
Bas afsos itna hai—
Hum zindagi ko samajhte-samajhte,
Zindagi jeena hi bhool gaye… ❤️
