Ajeeb sa lagta hai...

Ek anchhui chhuan ka
ahsaas liye firti hoon
mere zakhm ka lahoo kisiki
aankhon mein ubhar ata hai..
aur mujhe
ajeeb sa lagta hai...

kya isi tarah bina chhue bhi
chhu leti hoon main tumko...
jaise dard choo jata hai..
shayad tumhe bhi
ajeeb sa lagta hai....

zahan mein tumhe bhar loon
to tanhayi ka ahsaas kahaan,
koi kahe tum paas nahin to
woh aadmi bhi
ajeeb sa lagta hai...

Shikhar

shikhar ki roshni se aadmi jab bhi rubaru hota hai,
andhere mein pada zameer chupke se kyun rota hai…

purani cheezon se pichha chhurane lage hain ab,
ke aaina bhi kabhi apna dushman yun hota hai…

ek mukhtasar zindagi mein pure kaynat ka safar,
koi chalta hai neend me,to koi jag kar bhi sota hai…

sabko waqt ki kami itni ke abhi manzil chhoona hai
mil jate hain raste magar har kadam pe kuch khota hai...

Sannata

sirhane mein sukoon tha itna ke
aankhon mein khwab baraste the..
ab bhi kabhi luka chhipi karta tera chahra
aa jata hai saamne....khil jati hoon...
magar aksar yun bhi hota hai ke..
khwabon ka sannata andha kar jata hai...
palke khuli hai ya bandh pata nahin chalta..
saans bandh rahti hai
jab taq us andhere ko chir ke
tera chahra nazar nahin ata...
tab taq saans dhoondti hoon main...
tab taq sirhane mein sannata jari rahta hai...

Adhuri Zubaan

jab bhi teri ankhein bolti hai
Urdu Urdu si hawaah chalti hai...

aksar nam aankhon mein teri,
meri baatein bhig jati hain...
ek ghazal ubhar kar ati hai
phir seene mein dab jati hai...

jab jab main sochoon tujhe,
aankhein hisso mein baras jati hai,
baat puri nahin hoti kabhi,
kavita bhi adhuri rah jati hai...

zindagi pinjra,tu khidki koi

pinjre si zindagi mein
ek khidki si mil gayi...
khwabon ki manzilein
haqeeqat se jud gayi...
ek darr,ek aas
ek anjana ahsaas....
khushboo si ghul gayi,
thi saansein udaas...
mausam aya aisa ke
fikr saari dhul gayi,
pinjre si zindagi mein
ek khidki si khul gayi...

Manzil

bhaagti rahi main manzil ki or
raste mein kuch"Main"utar gayin...

jis rah se guzarte the kabhi
wo rah bhi aage guzar gayi...

manzil kya mili mujhe aine badal gaye...
waqt ke saath kyun maine badal gaye.

kayi wajehein hain rone ki
sirf gham ke kaaran kaun rota hai.

ant mein khud se milna ho
to beech mein bichhadna bhi hota hai....

jo rulana chaha tha mujhe main use dekhke hansti hoon
jo hansana chahe mujhe aksar unki baahein bhigoti hoon
