Arz kiya hai…

Tum kya jaano is dil par kya guzarti hai,
Jab tumne baat karna hi chhod diya…

Har raat aankhon me tumhari tasveer sajti hai,
Aur dil ki har dhadkan bas tumhara naam dhundhti hai.

Khamoshi me bhi tumhari hansi ki goonj sunai deti hai,
Par tumhari doori ne is dil ko tanha kar diya.

Jise humne apna samjha, usne yunhi saath chhod diya,
Rishte ki roshni me sirf andhera hi reh gaya.

Har lamha yaadon me tumhari khushboo mehsoos hoti hai,
Par haqiqat me sirf khaali yaadon ka saaya rehta hai.

Kabhi socha tha, baat karte rahenge hum sada,
Par tumhari chand lamhon ki doori ne sab kuch mita diya.

Dil ke kone me chhupa dard koi samajh nahi paya,
Aur humne khud ko bas yunhi tanha kar diya.

Har muskaan jo tumhari thi, ab sirf yaadon me hai,
Aur jo baatein hum karte the, ab unki goonj bhi gayi.

Tumhari aankhon me jo jhalak thi, wo ab doori me kho gayi,
Aur dil ke har kone me bas ek khamoshi si reh gayi.

Kuch pal ke liye chaaha tha bas tumhara saath,
Par waqt ne yunhi rishte ko apni lakeeron me bandh diya.

Har baar dil ko samjhaya, khud se hi poochha,
“Shayad woh laut kar aayegi, shayad waqt sudhar dega…”

Par yun na hua, sirf ek khamoshi ka saaya reh gaya,
Aur humne bas apni aankhon se aansu chhupa liye.

Har ek lafz jo tumne kaha, wo ab gunguna ke yaadon me hai,
Aur jo na kaha, wo bas dil ke andar dard banke reh gaya.

Ab bhi kabhi tumhari soch aati hai, to dil hil jata hai,
Aur hum bas yaadon me tumhara haath tham lete hain.

Tum kya jaano is dil par kya guzarti hai,
Tum ne baat kar hi chhod diya…

Arz kiya hai…

Saari duniya ki muhabbaton se kinaara karke,
Hum ne apni rooh ko bas tumhara sahara karke.

Jo dil pe bojh the, sab hawaaon mein uda diye,
Tumhari ek muskurahat ko asraara karke.

Na duniya chahiye, na koi aur sahil ab,
Hum jee rahe hain sirf tumhara sahaara karke.

Har raat ke andheron me tumhe hi yaad kiya,
Tanhaiyon ko apna saathi bana, bas tumhara naam pukara karke.

Log kehte hain mohabbat me junoon khatarnaak hota hai,
Hum ne toh apne junoon ko bas tumhara bana ke pyara karke.

Zakhmon ko sehkar bhi, muskaan tumhari ke liye rakhi,
Har dard ko khud me chhupa, tumhe khush dekha karke.

Dil ke har kone me tumhari hi aawaaz basa rakhi,
Kisi aur ke qareeb na aane diya, sirf tumhara raaz chhupa ke.

Aankhon se aansoo girte rahe, par tumhe na dikhaaye,
Apni khushi ko tumhari khushi me dhala, bas tumhara sapna saja ke.

Raaton ke sannaate me sirf tumhari yaadon se guzar gaya,
Har saans me tumhara zikr tha, har pal tumhara intezaar kiya.

Aur agar ek din door jaaye koi duniya ka rang,
Hum phir bhi bas tumhe apna bana, apna saara jahan bechara karke.

Mohabbat ka har ehsaas, har lamha sirf tumhara bana,
Saari duniya ke jazbaat ko humne sirf tumhara saathi bana ke.

Aur jab khuda ne humko duniya ki raah se hataaya,
Humne bas tumhara haath thaama, apni kismet tumhara paaya.

Har pal me sirf tum, har soch me bas tumhara noor,
Ye dil sirf tumhara hua, aur har dhadkan ne tumhe pukara.

Aaj bhi jo dard hai, wo bas tumhari yaad ka asar hai,
Har aansoo me tumhara naam, har muskaan me tumhara asar hai.

Aur yeh wafadari, yeh junoon, yeh pyar ka rang,
Saari duniya se alag, bas tumhara ban gaya sang.

Arz kiya hai…

Likhta hoon ke kabhi-kabhi sirf mare hue hi nahi,
Zinda log bhi chah kar ke laut kar nahi aate…

Jism saans leta rahe to kya saboot-e-hayat hua,
Rooh toot jaaye to phir woh saath bhar nahi aate…

Khamoshi ki aawaaz me kitni dard-bhari sargam hoti hai,
Jo sun sake aise kaan har shehar nahi aate…

Rishte jo waqt se haar kar yakeen khona shuru kar dein,
Phir waapas unhe jeetne ke mauqe bar-bar nahi aate…

Kabhi chehre muskuraate milte hain, par dil udaas hota hai,
Ye aansu bhi har kisi ki palko par asar nahi aate…

Bichhadne wale jab mohabbat ka hisaab maangte mil jaayein,
To samajh lo unke wapas jaane ke dagar nahi aate…

Raat ki tanhaayi me har saaya kuch kehta hai,
Par jo haqeeqat hai, woh aankhon ke samne nahi aate…

Yaadon ka bojh kabhi jhulsa deta hai dil ko,
Phir bhi jin logon se pyaar tha, woh baatein laute nahi aate…

Zindagi ka safar hai gehra aur raaste uljhan se bhare,
Phir bhi kuch chehre manzil tak saath nahi aate…

Dilon ke raaz khule hawa ke saath uda dete hain,
Par kuch raaz aise hain jo kabhi samne nahi aate…

Jo lamhe saath bite the, unka rang yaadon me rehta hai,
Par asli rang wapas laane wale kabhi nahi aate…

Tanhaayi ki ghadiyon me sirf khud se baatein hoti hain,
Aur kuch sawaal jo jawab nahi paate… woh laut kar nahi aate…

Dil ke tukde raaton me chhup kar rote hain,
Par jin ki wajah se woh bante hain, woh khud wapas nahi aate…

Safar khatam hota hai par nishan reh jaate hain,
Log jo raste me mile, aksar wapas nahi aate…

Mohabbat ka rang kabhi purana nahi hota, bas khoya hota hai,
Aur jo khoya, woh laut kar kabhi asli rang nahi aate…

Zulfikar, likh kar dard ko halka to kar deta hoon main,
Par kuch zakhm aise bhi hain jo likhne par nahi aate…

Arz kiya hai…

Raat ne aaj phir mere zakhmon ko awaaz diya,
Main chup tha, par dard ne dil ke darwaze khol diya.

Hawa bhi aaj kuch dheemi si chal rahi thi,
Jaise wo bhi mere gham par duaayein de rahi ho.

Wo yaad… jo kabhi muskura kar chali gayi thi,
Aaj phir se aankhon ke kone me aansu banke chalak gayi.

Sham ki dhund me uska andaaz yaad aaya,
Us pal ki garmi ne thande lamhon ko rok liya.

Main socha tha waqt marham ban jayega kabhi,
Par waqt ne to ulta purane gham naya bana diye.

Aaine me khud ko dekha to khud se hi ghabra gaya,
Kya kuch kho diya maine, ye soch ke dil laraz gaya.

Usne ek pal ki qurbat di thi kabhi be-hisab,
Aur humne zindagi bhar ke faisle us pal par thop diye.

Log kehte hai mohabbat waqt se haari nahi karti,
Par sach ye hai—kabhi kabhi waqt dil ki har saans tod deta hai.

Tanhayi bhi ajab sa imtihaan leti rehti hai,
Kabhi khamosh reh kar rulati hai, kabhi yaadon se dagh deti hai.

Aur ye dil bhi kitna ajeeb hai,
Jisne dard diya, usi ko sabse gehra maqam de rakha hai.

Shayad yahi mohabbat ka asal imtihaan hota hai,
Jisne zara si muskurahat di, dil ne us par saari umr taaj rakh diya.

Arz Kiya hai…

Tumhe itna ehsaas to rakhna tha pyaare,
Sataana nahi tha sataaye hue ko…

Woh chhup kar rota tha, magar aansu cheekh kar kehte the,
Ke dil ka bojh kam se kam tum samajh lete sahaye hue ko…

Uska to din bhi bhar jata tha tanha soch ke saaye se,
Aur raat ko yaadein bhi chubhti thein, jaise taana diye hue ko…

Zindagi bhar ki thakan le kar, jab woh tum tak aata tha,
Ek tasalli de dete, na yun khamoshi me uljha dete hue ko…

Har musibat ka bojh uthane ka aadat to thi us bechare ko,
Par tumhari chhoti si beparwahi ne thoda aur jhuka diya hue ko…

Tumhari baaton ka tevar, tumhari nazron ka bojh,
Kayi dafa lagta tha jaise qismat ne bhi thokar maar di hue ko…

Agar pyaar sachcha hota, tum thoda to ruk kar dekh lete,
Suljha dete un raaston ko, jo phisla rahe the chale hue ko…

Un thandi saanson me bhi ek aakhri ummeed jal rahi thi,
Kaash koi keh de, “Aao… main hoon tere saath, ghabraaye hue ko…”

Tumhe itna ehsaas to rakhna tha pyaare,
Sataana nahi tha sataaye hue ko…

Akhir me yeh kahaan ke, dard ka ye riwaaj na rakho,
Mohabbat me kabhi na rulana… dil se lagaaye hue ko.

Arz kiya hai…

Ab shaukh nahi mujhko saccha saabit karne ka,
Aapne kaha das aur das paachas, sahi hai, khushiya manao.

Har shak ko chhodo, ab dil ko bechain na karo,
Aapne muskurake kaha, bas khushiya manao.

Koshish meri thi, apne aap ko dikhane ki,
Par aapke lafz ne har gham ko mita diya, khushiya manao.

Ab na koi shak, na koi gham ka saaya,
Sirf ye pal hai, jo dil se mehsoos hai, khushiya manao.

Jo chhota tha, vo bada ho gaya,
Aur jo lamha tha, vo yaad ban gaya, khushiya manao.

Chhodo un baaton ko jo kabhi dil ko dukhati thi,
Ab sirf muskaan aur pyar ko hi apnao, khushiya manao.

Zindagi ka safar hai, kabhi khushi, kabhi gham,
Par aaj ke lamhe ko sirf gale lagao, khushiya manao.

Ab shaukh nahi mujhko saccha saabit karne ka,
Bas aapke saath ye zindagi sajaane ka, khushiya manao.

Arz kiya hai…

Yun to tujh par koyi ikhtiyaar nahi mera,
Magar Khuda ki kasam, tere aas paas bhatakne wale zeher lagte hain kareeb se.

Har kadam pe teri khamoshi ka asar hai,
Har lamha teri yaadon ka izhar hai.

Woh log jo bhatak ke aate hain,
Jaise mere dil ke armaan ko chubh jaate hain.

Phir bhi, tu mere saaye ke paas hai,
Aur main sirf teri khamoshi mein basa rehta hoon.

Har saans mein tera rang,
Har nazar mein tera sang,
Aur phir bhi… bas tu hi tu,
Mere dil ke kareeb se guzarta hai.

Tere bina ye raat adhoori lagti hai,
Tere bina ye khamoshi bhi dhoori lagti hai.

Jo bhi door ho jaaye is jahaan mein,
Tera asar mere dil ke qareeb se door nahi hota.

Aur jab tu pass hota hai,
Har gham khushi mein dhal jaata hai,
Har zakhm sirf marham ban jaata hai,
Aur har lamha bas tere naam se roshan ho jaata hai.

Tere honthon ki muskaan,
Mere andheron ka ujala ban jaati hai,
Aur tera saaya sirf mere dil ke paas…
Ek raahnuma ban ke reh jaata hai.

Arz kiya hai…

Jo kuch bigaada, bas apna hi bigaada,
Kisi ka dil thoda nahi, kisi ka raasta roka nahi.

Apni hi saanson ko main ne bojh banaya,
Kisi aur ki zindagi par saya kabhi dala nahi.

Girte hue bhi maine kisi ka daman nahi thaama,
Daudta raha tanha, kisi ka qadam uljhaaya nahi.

Khataon ka hisaab bhi maine khud se hi poocha,
Kisi aur ki rooh ko kabhi ruswa kiya nahi.

Main ne apne ghamon ko apne hi ghar me kaid rakha,
Kisi aur ke sheeshe se dil ko kabhi daraaya nahi.

Barbaadi bhi aayi to sirf meri zindagi tak mehdood rahi,
Kisi ke khwaabon ko maine zara sa bhi hilaaya nahi.

Zindagi bhar apne hi bojh se jhulta raha,
Par kisi aur ke kando par bojh bithaaya nahi.

Main ne khud ko andheron me chhupa liya tha aksar,
Magar kisi ke aasmaan se ujala chheena nahi.

Rishte bhi toot gaye to meri hi khami thi,
Isme kisi aur ka daaman kabhi maila hua nahi.

Chalne diya sabko unke apne manzilon ki taraf,
Apni thakaan ka aalam kisi ko batlaaya nahi.

Ye sab dard aur raaz bas mere hi naam ke liye,
Maine ne sirf khud ko hi aazmaaya hai kisi aur ki nahi.
