Arz kiya hai…

Apne haqiqi jahaan me uljha hu mai,
Log suljhe hue lagte hai, mujhse apna kaam karakar.

Jo mere dard ko samajhne ka daawa karte the,
Aaj wahi khud apni zarurat ke hisaab se door ho gaye.

Meri khamoshi ko log majboori samajh baithe,
Main toote hue lamhon me bhi muskurata raha.

Log faayda dhoondte hai, jazbaat ki kadar nahi karte,
Main rishton ko dil se nibhata raha, unhone hisaab kitab se naapte rahe.

Phir bhi… dil me ek roshni ki kiran sada zinda hai,
Jo mujhe har uljhan aur tanhaai me aage badhati hai.

Uljhanon ke is safar me, main akela sahi,
Par apni sachchai aur jazbaat ka sitara kabhi nahi bujhne dunga.

Arz kiya hai…

Apne haqiqi jahaan me uljha hua hu mai,
Log suljhe hue lagte hai, mujhse apna kaam karakar.

Jo mere dard ko samajhne ka daawa karte the,
Aaj wahi khud apni zarurat ke hisaab se door ho gaye.

Mere dil ki raahon me chupke se aansu girte rahe,
Par kisi ne poocha hi nahi, bas muskaan dikhayi jaati rahi.

Meri khamoshi ko log majboori samajh baithe,
Maine andar se rooth kar bhi, bahar muskurana nahi chhoda.

Jo saath the, unhone waqt ke hisaab se mujhse fasle banaye,
Main apni sachchai aur sidq me uljha raha, duniya ke rang se ladte hue.

Har chehra yahan sirf ek parchhaayi sa, pal me rang badal jaata,
Jo kal mere saath tha, aaj uski yaadon ka sahara hi reh jaata.

Log faayda dhoondte hai, jazbaat ki kadar nahi karte,
Main rishton ko dil se nibhata raha, unhone hisaab kitab se naapte rahe.

Uljhanon ka bojh sath le kar bhi main chal pada,
Toote hue lamhon ki gungunahat me, apni roshni jagata raha.

Raatein lambe aur tanha, sawalon ka samundar gehra,
Subah ke ujale me bhi kuch log apne rang dikhaate rahe.

Phir bhi… dil me ek roshni ki kiran sada zinda hai,
Jo mujhe har uljhan, har dhokhe, aur har tanhaai me aage badhati hai.

Meri sachchai se duniya aksar naraz hoti hai,
Par main apni fitrat se kabhi nahi bhatakta, sachai mera saath hai.

Jo mere liye ruk jaaye, main uske liye poora rukta hu,
Chahe duniya pal me badal jaaye, mera zameer kabhi nahi rukta.

Uljhanon ke is safar me, main akela sahi,
Par dil ki gehraiyon me sachchai aur mohabbat ka sitara sada roshan rahega.

Toote hue khwabon me bhi main umeed ki baat karta hu,
Har dard ke peechhe ek nayi seekh aur nayi roshni ka intezaar karta hu.

Log apni dunia me khoye rehte, par main apni rooh se juda nahi hota,
Har ek uljhan aur dard me, main apni asli pehchaan ko samajhta aur maanta hu.

Aur jab raaste aur chehre badal jaate, yaad aate hai un lamhon ke,
Main khud se kahin pehle, apni khamoshi aur sachchai se judta hu.

Uljhanon ke is jahaan me, main akela sahi, par apne liye poora hu,
Dil ke jazbaat aur sachai ke is safar me, main hamesha apna khud ka sitara hu.

Arz kiya hai…

Karz liye the is ummeed se ke kal lautaunga,
Magar kismat ki gardish me main khud ko kho na saka.

Waqt ki saari tehreerein badalti rahi raat-raat,
Har subah socha lauta dunga, par kuchh ho na saka.

Mushkilein pukhta hoti gayi har mod ki dhool me,
Main girta jaa raha tha, magar khud ko tha sambhala na saka.

Wo maangta raha haq apna, wajood ki khamushi ke saath,
Main sharm se bhara tha, par apni majboori keh na saka.

Roz socha ke aaj shaayad naseeb ki baarish ho jaaye,
Par har baar chand aasoon aaye, par karz woh bujha na saka.

Apne waade ki laash uthaye phirta hoon raaton me,
Main apna khud ka bojh bhi yaaro… kabhi utaar na saka.

Dil se kehne ko bahut kuch tha magar zubaan band thi,
Main uske saath haqeeqat ka dard bhi baant na saka.

Aaj bhi yaad rehte hai woh pal jab hausla toot gaya,
Main khud se hi haar gaya tha, kisi aur se jeet na saka.

Karz to sirf ek wajah thi, dard andar aur gehra tha,
Main waqt ke aage apni kamzori kabhi chhupa na saka.

Arz kiya hai…

Jab apni ehmiyat mujhe khud hi samajh aa jaaye,
Tab lagta hai ke main kisi ke liye ehmiyat rakh hi nahi paaya.
Khud ko jitna samjha, utna hi tanha hota gaya,
Har mod par lagaa, shayad main hi kuch kam pad gaya.

Jin par bharosa kiya, unhi ne samajh na paayi meri baat,
Main chalta raha akela, unki yaadon ka tha saath.
Dil ko laga tha ke mohabbat se badal jaayegi zindagi,
Par har baar yaqeen tutaa, badh gayi tanhaai ki bandagi.

Kayi raaton tak khud se hi sawal karta raha main,
Kya tha meri kami, jo dil se utar gaya main?
Jawab mila—kisi ka rehna zaroori nahi hota,
Jo likha ho naseeb me, usi ke saath chalta hota.

Meri khamoshi bhi kabhi cheekhkar poochti thi,
Kyu log badalte waqt ke saath itni jaldi?
Main muskurahat me dard chupata raha,
Aur chehra sabse juda dikhata raha.

Bohot baar socha, dil ko kisi se na baat karne doon,
Par aadat thi—rishton ke liye apne aap ko haar dene ki.
Main khud hi girta gaya un yaadon me,
Jo kabhi thi hi nahi nibhaane layak waqt ki safar me.

Ab seekh liya hai—kadar tabhi hoti hai jab khud pe yaqeen ho,
Jo apna ho, woh lafzon se nahi, rawaiye se haseen ho.
Main ab bhi toot kar nahi, samajh kar jeeta hoon,
Main khud hi apni ehmiyat ka saboot deta hoon.

Aur haan… duniya se umeed kam rakhna hi behtar hai,
Log badal jaate hain… par dil ka dard bekhabar hai.
Par main rukunga nahi—zindagi ka safar ab mera apna hai,
Aaj se meri kadar, meri nazron me hi sabse zyada apna hai.

Ab dil ne faisla kar liya hai—khud ko hi apna saath banaunga,
Jo na samajh sake meri ehmiyat… main ab unke bin bhi muskuraunga.

Kisi ki kadar na ho to gham kya, main khud ko hi roshan rakhunga,
Tanhaai ke is safar me bhi, apne jazbaat se pyar karunga.

Duniya ka rang badalta rahe, main apni ehmiyat se nahi darunga,
Apni zindagi ka hero khud ban kar… har dard ko seh lunga.

Arz kiya hai…

Zindagi ke kuch dard aise hain jo jeene nahi dete,
Aur kuch karz aise hain jo marne nahi dete.

Jin raste pe chalta hoon, wahan khamoshi ka saaye hote,
Kuch raaste manzil tak jaate hi nahi, kuch manzil hum se milte hi nahi.

Rahon me girte hue patton ka dard samajh aata hai,
Kuch cheezein toot kar bhi shor machati nahi… sirf chubh jaati hain.

Raat bhar dil se baatein karta hoon, magar dil maanta hi nahi,
Kuch zakhm bharne ka naam lete hi nahi, kuch dhadkan se judte hi nahi.

Duniya ke mele me aksar akela rehna padta hai,
Kuch rishte saath hokar bhi saath rehne nahi dete.

Safar me thak jaaun to rukhna chahta hoon kuch pal,
Par ye zimmedariyan… kabhi baithne nahi deti, kabhi tutne nahi deti.

Humne dard ko izzat di, tab dard ne hume apnaya,
Kuch gham be-adab hote hain… bina bulaye aa jaate hain,
Aur jaane ka naam hi nahi lete.

Chaha tha ke waqt mujhe samjhe, par waqt bhi be-taab tha,
Kuch lamhe rukne nahi dete, kuch yaadein jalne nahi deti.

Aankhon me aansu lekar chalta hoon, magar girne nahi deta,
Kyun ke kuch Andaaz-e-Zindagi hume bikharne nahi dete.

Aur akhir me ye sikh liya,
Ke dard apni marzi se aate hain, par hausla humari rooh se,
Kuch gham jeene nahi dete,
Par kuch khuda ke karam… hume marne nahi dete.

Arz kiya hai…

Mai jaise bhi hu, mujhe Naaz hai apne junoon par,
Taarifon ka mohtaaj nahi, pehchaan Meri apni shaan par.

Halaat chahe jitna bhi mujhse lad jaaye,
Muskaan Meri, kabhi kho nahi sakti, na kabhi kam na hui.

Gir ke uthta hoon, phir khud ko paata hoon,
Har andhera, har dard, apni roshni se mitaata hoon.

Log samajh nahi paaye, meri chhupi hui gehraai,
Par mai khud se kabhi door nahi hua, sachai Meri saath rahi.

Har musibat ne socha mujhko tod dega,
Par mai har baar phir se jeet ke khada hua.

Zindagi ke tufanon mein bhi, mai apni raah khud banata,
Apni himmat, apni shaan se, har rukawat mitaata.

Na nafrat, na burai, mujhe kabhi rok nahi sakti,
Meri muskaan aur jazbaat, yehi meri asli zindagi hai.

Har nayi subah, har naya din, naye jazbaat ke saath,
Mai khud ko aur apni duniya ko roshan karta hoon raat ke baad.

Mere sapne, meri umeedein, mere jazbaat ke rang,
Har lamha mai jeeta, har pal banata khud ka sang.

Arz kiya hai…

Meri tanhayi badhti jaa rahi hai
Har pal khud se hi main poochta hoon,
Ke kaisa humsafar paya maine,
Jo saath ho kar bhi door lagta hai.

Raaton ki sannaataon mein teri yaadon ka nasha hai,
Aur din ki roshni mein bhi ek khamoshi ka jashn hai.
Dil ke kone mein ek khaali si jagah hai,
Jahan teri muskan ka aabha hi bas chhaya hai.

Har mod par dhoondta hoon tera saath,
Par zindagi ke raaste bas akela chhod gaye.
Kuch pal milte hain bas khushiyo ke sapne,
Aur phir laut aate hain yaadon ke dard ke saaye.

Kabhi socha tha, pyaar ka safar hamesha raushan hoga,
Par aaj sirf tanhayi aur adhoori khwahishen saath hain.
Jo humsafar tha, uske saath bhi ek doori ka ehsaas hai,
Aur jo door hai, uske liye dil bas bekaraar hai.

Chandni raaton mein bas teri yaadon ka saya hai,
Aur dil ka har kone sirf tere intezaar mein bhaya hai.
Na jaane kyun, har muskan ab adhoori lagti hai,
Aur har baat mein bas tanhayi ka gham chhaya hai.

Dil ke armaan phoolon ki tarah murjhate gaye,
Par yaadon ke saaye kabhi kam na hue.
Jo saath the, unki doori bhi ek dard ki kahani hai,
Aur jo door the, unka intezaar ek nasha hai.

Phir bhi, kuch umeed ki roshni dil mein jagi hai,
Ke shayad kal ek nayi subah le aaye.
Aur shayad samajh paunga ke kaisa humsafar paya maine,
Jo door ho kar bhi mere dil ke sabse kareeb tha.

Arz kiya hai…

Maine zindagi ke saare dukh tumhe bataye the,
Tumhara haq nahi banta tha mujhe dukh dene ka.

Phir bhi har pal mere jazbaat se khelte rahe,
Meri khushi ke sapne, adhoore rehne ka.

Har aansu jo girta tha mere chehre se,
Uski kadar na ki tumne, bas doori badhane ka.

Mera dil ab bhi tumhare naam se dhadakta hai,
Magar tumhara haq ab sirf yaadon ko chhodne ka.

Woh raaten yaad hai, jab chaand bhi humse rootha tha,
Aur tumhare bina, har pal bas tanha rehne ka.

Jise maine apna samjha, woh mujhse door ho gaya,
Aur maine seekha, pyar mein sirf dard milne ka.

Phir bhi main muskurata hoon, kyunki zindagi ka safar hai,
Aur dard hi sikhata hai, apni khushi chhupane ka.

Ab tum mere dil ke raaz na jaan paoge,
Aur main bas apne jazbaat ko khud hi samjhane ka.

Kabhi kabhi khamoshi mein mehsoos karta hoon,
Ke shayad tum bhi, mere dard ko chhupane ka.

Aankhen bhari, par zubaan chup ho jaati hai,
Kyunki mohabbat ka matlab har pal bas chhupane ka.

Mujhe yaad hai woh baatein, woh hasi, woh pal,
Jisme sirf hum the, aur duniya door rehne ka.

Ab bas yaadon ki parchhaiyan saath chalti hain,
Aur main unhe apne dil me sajaane ka.

Zindagi ka matlab sirf jeene se nahi,
Dard aur mohabbat ko apnaye rehne ka.

Phir ek subah aayi, khushbu le kar,
Par tum door the, sirf yaadon ke sahare rehne ka.

Har khushi ka rang ab adhoora sa lagta hai,
Aur har muskaan mein bas tumhe yaad karne ka.

Phir bhi main khud se ek wada karta hoon,
Ke pyar ko, dard ko, aur zindagi ko jhelte rehne ka.

Aur shayad ek din tum samjhoge,
Ke jo dard diya, woh sirf mohabbat ka paimane ka.

Arz kiya hai…

Saari duniya ki mohabbat se kinaara karke,
Maine rakha faqt khud ko tumhara karke.

Mera dil dard se guzra hai, par phir bhi muskuraya hai,
Har aansu ko chhupakar, har pal ko tumhare liye sajaaya hai.

Zindagi ne kitne mod diye, kitne imtihaan diye,
Par main har baar uth kar chala, apni rooh ko aasman bana kar ke.

Har raah mein tumhari yaadon ka saaya liya,
Aur har kadam ko sirf tumhare naam se roshan kiya.

Doston mein wafaa ka saboot main ne diya,
Bachon ke liye duaon ka saaya ban kar jee raha hoon.

Afrah, Mehrin, Huda ki har khushi mein mera dil basa hai,
Aur unke liye duniya ke har dard ko has kar pee jaata hoon.

Safar Doha se Mumbai tak kitna uljha hua raha,
Par maine har rishte ka bojh bhi pyaar se sambhala.

Na shikayat, na shor, na dikhawa —
Bas apna farz nibhaata raha, khud ke jazbaat ko chhupa kar ke.

Main wo aadmi hoon jise zakhm ne kamzor nahi kiya,
Un zakhmon ne hi mujhe aur gehra, aur insaan bana diya.

Har dard ka marham maine apni mehnat aur sabr se banaya,
Har aansu mein bhi ek nayi muskaan chhupa li.

Har subah tumhari yaad ke saath uthta hoon,
Aur har raat tumhari muskaan ko soch kar so jaata hoon.

Mera naam sirf ek naam nahi, ek kahani hai,
Jo har mod par jeeti hai, har lafz mein apni rooh chhupa kar.

Aur duniya ko yeh dikhata hoon — asli shakti dard mein bhi muskurahat aur wafaa se jeeti jaati hai…

Main jeeta hoon tumhare liye,
Har pal tumhare liye,
Aur ye dil hamesha sirf tumhara hi rahega…
