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

benaam

rishte kuch aise hi hote hain,
ladkharate hue
beech mein atak jate hain,
unhe yahan se wahan
wahan se yahan
hilaya na karo....
bikhar jayenge...
kuch uljhe honge magar anchhuaa rahne do...
na suljhao...
chahe kisi bhi naam mein na dhal paye,
magar hai to rishta hi..
rahne do....

kya kya na sikha

guzre rishto ne sikhaya hai
rishte kabhi guzarte nahin,
sukhe aankho ne bataya hai ke
aankhein kabhi sukhti nahin...
rishte saye ban jate hain,
aankhein bhi nam rahti hai...
aise hi ek din
manzil ki pyaas ne sikha diya
yeh pyaas kabhi bujhti nahin...
bas badhti jati hai...
ant se pahle iska ant nahin hota...

Maa.........

jinki aankhon me dekhte hi sukoon aa jaye,
aanchal jo bichha de woh to neend aa jaye...

chhoti si galti bhi maaf nahin karta zamana
unki kokh mein to haiwaan bhi paak ho jaye...

kyon mitti se banate ho but poojne ke liye,
inke aanchal mein to puri kaynaat kho jaye...

jhukte nahin jo aankhein kabhi kisike saamne,
maa dikhe to pal mein unka sir bhi jhuk jaye....

..................................................................................
Afroz's amazing improvisation on the metre and the over all presentation:
..................................................................................

inki aa.nkhe.n dekhte hi sukoon aa jaye,
aanchal ye bichha de to nee.nd aa jaye...

choti si khata maaf karta nahi.n zamana
inki kokh mein haiwaan bhi paak ho jaye...

kyon mitti ke bana ke but pooje hum
inke aanchal mein jab kaainaat kho jaye...

"AINA" jhuki naa aankhein rab ke saamne,
maa.N dikhe kahin to ye sar bhi jhuk jaye....

aankhein teri[once again a male expression]

main kuch bhi karoon koi tokta nahin,
teri aankhein daantti hai....

jo khud ko bhi maine kaha nahin
teri aankhein jaanti hai....

main chhalkata hoon jis boond ko
teri aankhien rokti hai....

hai baat jo jami seene mein mere,
teri aankhein bolti hai....

bhagta hoon jo kisi manzil ki oar,
teri aankhein bulaati hai....

sau baar hansaati hai yeh aankhein,
hazaar baar rulaati hai....

dekhti hai aise hansti aankhein ke
har baat samajhti hai....

pyar mein chhalak jati hai magar,
gusse mein garajti hai...

bas un aankhon ka pyasa hoon main,
kya wo bhi tarasti hai....
