Arz kiya hai…

Ungliyon pe gin raha hoon sabhi dosto ke naam,
Lekin tumhaare naam aate hi… dil se hum ginne laga.

Tum bas ek naam nahi ho jo ginte-ginate aa jaaye,
Tum wo ehsaas ho jisko yaad karte hi saans bhi dheemi ho jaaye.

Doston ki ginti mein bas waqt guzar jaata tha,
Tumhaare naam par ruk kar lagta hai… waqt bhi muskuraa jaata hai.

Do pal ke liye aakhon ko band karu toh tum nazar aate ho,
Aur khuli aankhon se dekhu toh lagta hai… dil tumse hi dhadakta hai.

Ginte hue sabko, main to bas farz nibhaa raha tha,
Tum par aate hi… lagaa jaise mohabbat apna sar uthaa raha tha.

Naam tumhaara likhu toh lafz khud khoobsurat ban jaate,
Aur dil ki saari udaasiyan tumhari muskurahat se mit jaate.

Har raat tumhari yaadon mein guzar jaati hai,
Aur har subah tumhari muskaan se roshan ho jaati hai.

Kabhi socha nahi tha ki ek naam se itna sukoon milega,
Par tumhaare naam par ruk kar… har dard bhi sharm se chhup jaata hai.

Tum jo paas hote ho toh ginti bhi pyaar ka rang le leti hai,
Aur door ho jao… toh ungliyon ki ginti bhi adhoori lagti hai.

Aur main firse ungliyon pe gin raha hoon sabhi dosto ke naam,
Par tum par aate hi… dil se, phir wahi mohabbat ginne laga.

Arz kiya hai

Bhale fareb hi khaana padhe dubaara mujhe,
Mai phir jaunga, usne agar pukaara mujhe.

Har mod par yaadon ka saaya sath hai,
Chahe dard hi sahi, par saath chaha mujhe.

Dil ke kone mein chhupi ek purani dastaan,
Jo sirf uski muskaan se jagaaara mujhe.

Raat ki tanhaayi mein bhi bas ek roshni hai,
Uske khayalon ke sang jeene ka sahara mujhe.

Zakhm jitne bhi gehre, yaadon ke saaye gehre,
Bhale chubhe dard, par mohabbat ka pyaara mujhe.

Chaand bhi sharma jaye jab uska naam loon,
Aur sitare gaayein, jaise dil ko pukaara mujhe.

Har baar jo door hua, dil ne rooth kar bhi
Uski ek jhalak ke liye hi kinara mujhe.

Phoolon ki khushboo mein bhi bas uska rang hai,
Aur hawaa ke har jhonke mein uska kinara mujhe.

Duniya ke shor mein bhi sirf uski awaaz hai,
Jo band aankhon se bhi bulaye saara mujhe.

Maqta:
Phir chahe duniya kahe ki mai pagal hoon,
Uske ishq mein, bas wahi samjhata mujhe.

Arz kiya hai…

Saalon baad kabhi milunga tumse,
Tab bhi waise hi khamosh sa reh jaunga…
Nigahon ke jhilmil se bach kar,
Apne hi saaye mein lipat kar guzarta jaunga.

Zamaane bhar ki baaton se kya lena,
Hum to abhi tak usi mod par thahre hue hain…
Jahan tum ne pal bhar ko ruk kar dekha tha,
Aur hum umar bhar ke liye ruk gaye hain.

Kash tum sochogi, ke waqt ne badla hoga mujhe,
Par haqiqat to yeh hai ke main wahi purana sa reh gaya…
Jisne mohabbat ko ek imaan samajh kar rakha,
Aur judaai ko ek ibadat ki tarah jhela.

Tab bhi yehi kahunga apne dil hi dil mein,
Ke pyaar aaj bhi tumse hi hai, tumse hi hoga…
Chahe rishte badal jaayein, raaste badal jaayein,
Dil ki duniya ka toh ek hi qaayda hai — tum ho, aur tum hi rehna.

Agar tum poochh baitho ke kyun nahi bhool paaya main,
Toh muskura kar sirf itna hi keh paunga…
“Kuch rishte waqt se nahi, duaon se chalne wale hote hain,
Aur unme se ek, tumhara mera bhi tha.”

Arz kiya hai…

Mere paas to bas yaadein hi tumhaari reh gayi,
Zindagi to use mubarak ho, jiske paas tum ho ab bhi…

Tumhaare baad se khushiyon ka rasta badal sa gaya,
Muskurahat bhi ab aankhon ka qarz chukati si lagti hai…

Main apne aap ko samjhaata hoon har raat, har lamha,
Par tum bin ye dil be-wajah sa, adhoora sa lagta hai…

Jo baatein tum muskurakar kaha karti thi,
Aaj wohi alfaaz tanha kamron me goonj uthte hain…

Main roz apne dil ko samjhaata hoon—intezaar mat kar,
Par dil bhi kya kare, tumhari aadat se azaad kaha hota hai…

Jin galiyon me hum saath chale the kabhi,
Aaj unhi raahon par akela saaya mera humsafar banta hai…

Tumhari kami ne mujhe itna chup kar diya,
Ke ab dard bhi mera naam lekar hi awaz deta hai…

Mera ab bhi usi mod par thaama hua hai waqt,
Na tum wapas aaye… na dil kisi aur ko apna kar paya…

Arz kiya hai…

Kamaal ka taana diya aaj mere dil ne,
Kehta hai—koyi tera hai, to kahaan hai…

Zamana samajhta hai ke hans deta hoon aasani se,
Woh kya jaane, is muskurahat ke peeche kitni gardbaan hai.

Har subah ek naye zakham ka paighaam liye aati hai,
Aur har shaam bata deti hai — mohabbat kitni be-meherbaan hai.

Rishte jo khud ko chiraag kehte the andheron mein,
Woh hi hawa ban kar bujha gaye… kya ajeeb kirdaar-e-zamaan hai.

Kabhi kaghaz pe likhte-likhte rooth jaati hai kalam bhi,
Shayad dard ka bojh uske liye bhi kuch zyada samaan hai.

Bahut baar socha, ke dil ko samjha do haqeeqat-e-hayaat,
Par ye khamosh sa aashiq abhi tak pyaar ka hi gumaan hai.

Meri tanhaayi ne mujhse bhi purani dosti kar li,
Ab yeh bhi roz raat ko milne ka ek naya armaan hai.

Bikhri hui ummeedein uthata hoon jaise patjhad ke patte,
Ek pal ko lagta hai sab bekaar, phir lagta hai — yeh hi meri pehchaan hai.

Guzra hua waqt kabhi thoda sa phool deta,
Par ab to yaadon ka har safha sanki aur pareshan hai.

Log kehte hain ke waqt ke saath sab theek ho jaata hai,
Main kehta hoon — woh theek ho sakta hai, jise saccha nuqsaan hai?

Aur jab dil se poochu, ke aakhir kis ki kami me yun toot-ta hoon,
Woh be-dardi se haas kar kehta hai—
“Agar koyi tera hota… to bata, woh kahaan hai?”

Mera dard bhi kya khoob adaa rakhta hai,
Har she’r ke neeche likhta hai — “jo mera tha, woh ab kahaan hai?”

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…
