“Main logon se door nahi hua, bas khud ke thoda kareeb aa gaya hoon.
-Zulfikar Inamdar
Nafrat aaj bhi kisi se nahi; bas ab har muskurahat ko apnapan aur har waade ko sach nahi maanta.
Dil wahi hai—sirf itna samajhdaar ho gaya hai ke kisko darwaaze tak rakhna hai, aur kisko dil tak aane dena hai.”
“Dil Bura Nahi Hua… Bas Samajhdaar Ho Gaya”:
Arz kiya hai…
Main pehle jaisa hi hoon,
Bas ab har muskurahat par yakeen nahi karta,
Har haath milane wale ko dost,
Aur har apna kehne wale ko
Apna nahi samajhta.
Kabhi main bhi
Logon ko bahut jaldi dil mein jagah de deta tha,
Do meethi baatein hoti thi
Aur main rishta sachcha maan leta tha.
Koi haal poochh leta
To lagta tha fikr karta hai,
Koi paas baith jaata
To lagta tha saath dega…
Phir waqt ne dheere se samjhaya—
Haal poochhna aur haal samajhna
do alag baatein hain,
aur paas baithna aur saath rehna bhi.
Maine rishton ko badalte dekha hai…
Bina kisi jhagde ke,
Bina kisi wajah ke,
Bina alvida kahe.
Kal tak jo roz baat kiya karte the,
Aaj unke paas
Ek salaam ka waqt bhi nahi.
Aur ajeeb baat ye hai—
Waqt unke paas aaj bhi hai,
bas hamara hissa nahi raha.
Pehle is baat par
Bahut dard hota tha.
Main raat bhar sochta—
Maine kya kiya?
Mujhse kya galti hui?
Kya main itna bura tha
Ke koi yun achanak badal gaya?
Phir ek din
Khud se sawaal karna chhod diya.
Kyunki samajh aa gaya—
Har jaane wale ki wajah
hamari kami nahi hoti.
Kuch log
Sirf utni der apne hote hain
Jitni der unhe hamari zaroorat hoti hai.
Zaroorat khatam…
Rishta bhi dheere-dheere
Khamosh ho jaata hai.
Isliye ab
Kisi ke chale jaane par
Darwaaze par khada nahi rehta.
Na rokta hoon,
Na shikayat karta hoon,
Na baar-baar wajah poochhta hoon.
Bas dil se kehta hoon—
“Jitna safar saath likha tha,
utna saath dene ka shukriya.”
Aur aage badh jaata hoon.
Ye ghamand nahi hai…
Ye khuddari hai.
Kyunki rishta bachana achhi baat hai,
Magar kisi ko rokne ke liye
Apni izzat gira dena
Mohabbat nahi hoti.
Maine ye bhi dekha hai—
Jab tak aap
Sabke kaam aate rahoge,
Aap bahut achhe insaan rahoge.
Jis din thak kar
Ek baar “nahi” keh diya,
Kuch logon ko
Aapka poora kirdaar hi
Badla hua nazar aayega.
Tab samajh lena—
Unhe aapse mohabbat kam,
aapki sahulat ki aadat zyada thi.
Aur bhai…
Rishton ki sabse gehri chot
Woh nahi hoti
Jab koi gair bura keh de.
Asal chot tab lagti hai
Jab koi aisa shakhs badal jaaye
Jiske saamne kabhi
Humne apni kamzoriyaan tak rakh di thi.
Jise apne aansuon ka sabab bataya,
Jise apne darr bataye,
Jise apne raaz diye…
Aur ek din wahi shakhs
Ajnabi se bhi zyada
Ajnabi ho gaya.
Tab insaan rota kam hai…
Khamosh zyada ho jaata hai.
Aur log samajhte hain
Ke woh sakht ho gaya.
Nahi…
Woh sakht nahi hua.
Bas usne apne dil ke darwaaze par
pehli baar dastak sunna seekh liya.
Ab koi aaye
To dil foran nahi khulta.
Waqt leta hai.
Dekhta hai—
Ye shakhs meri khushi mein
Sach mein khush hota hai ya nahi?
Meri pareshaani mein
Sirf mashwara deta hai
Ya thodi der mere paas bhi baithta hai?
Meri gair-maujoodgi mein
Meri izzat karta hai ya nahi?
Kyunki ab samajh gaya hoon—
Rishta lafzon se shuru ho sakta hai,
magar sachcha sirf rawaiye se hota hai.
Ab meri zindagi mein
Log kam hain.
Aur sach kahun?
Sukoon zyada hai.
Har kisi ko samjhana nahi,
Har kisi ko khush rakhna nahi,
Har kisi ki narazgi ka bojh
Apne sar par lena nahi.
Jo samajhta hai,
Uske liye dil khula hai.
Jo nahi samajhta,
Uske liye bhi dil mein nafrat nahi.
Bas raaste alag hain.
Maine kisi se nafrat karna
Aaj bhi nahi seekha.
Jinhone dil dukhaya
Unke liye bhi baddua nahi.
Kyunki unhone jaate-jaate
Mujhe ek qeemti cheez de di—
Pehchaan.
Kis par kitna bharosa karna hai,
Kahan kitna jhukna hai,
Kis rishte ko bachana hai,
Aur kahan khamoshi se
Khud ko bacha lena hai.
Ye sab kitaabon ne nahi sikhaya…
Logon ne sikhaya hai.
Isliye ab
Mujhe apne badalne ka afsos nahi.
Dil aaj bhi narm hai,
Bas har kisi ke liye nahi.
Mohabbat aaj bhi bepanah kar sakta hoon,
Bas wahan
Jahan uski qadar ho.
Saath aaj bhi umr bhar de sakta hoon,
Bas us insaan ko
Jo mushkil waqt mein
Mera haath dekhkar apna haath na kheench le.
Aur bharosa?
Woh bhi aaj tak zinda hai…
Bas ab muft mein nahi milta,
waqt ke saath kamaya jaata hai.
Ab koi mujhe kahe—
“Tum pehle jaise nahi rahe…”
To main muskura kar maan lunga.
Haan…
Pehle har kisi ko apna samajhta tha,
Ab apnon ko pehchanta hoon.
Pehle har rishta tootne par
Khud ko kasoorwar maanta tha,
Ab jaanta hoon
Ke kuch rishte poore hone ke liye nahi,
Humein kuch sikhane ke liye aate hain.
Pehle tanhai se darr lagta tha,
Ab kabhi kabhi
Tanhai hi sabse khoobsurat lagti hai.
Kyunki tanhai
Kam se kam jhootha wada nahi karti.
Woh kehti nahi—
“Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon…”
Aur phir beech raaste
Chhod kar nahi jaati.
Lekin itne tajurbon ke baad bhi
Main ek baat par yakeen rakhta hoon—
Duniya mein sachche log
Aaj bhi hain.
Bahut zyada nahi…
Magar hain.
Aur shayad zindagi ka husn bhi isi mein hai
Ke sau galat chehron ke baad
Kabhi ek aisa insaan mil jaata hai
Jiske saamne dil phir se kehta hai—
“Chalo…
ek baar aur bharosa karke dekhte hain.” ❤️
Isliye mera dil
Toota zaroor hai,
Mara nahi.
Thaka zaroor hai,
Mohabbat se khaali nahi.
Bas ab use samajh aa gaya hai—
Har kisi ko dil mein jagah dena
Achha insaan hona nahi,
Aur kisi galat shakhs se door ho jaana
Bura insaan hona nahi.
