Ek Khalish (Ghazal)






एक ख़लिश 
**************



बड़ी कश्मकश और खलाओं में भटक रही थी मेरी कुछ यू अल्हड़ सी ज़िंदगी,
कैसे तू दबे पाँव शामिल हो गया हमसाया बनकर के, आहट तक ना हुई।

मेरा वो यू चहचहाना हर बात पे हँसना और लापरवाही से ठहाके बरबस लगाना,
अलहडपन फलांग के जाने कब संजिदगी मुझ में हौले से, समा गई।

वो ख़ुद ही से देर तक गुफ़्तगू, कभी वो ख़याल में खो जाना जिस में हो सिर्फ तू,
कभी कुछ अधुरा-सा प्यार, कभी तुझ से जैसे ज़िंदगी मुक्मल हो गई।

अब गई मुझे भी फिक् करनी, वो बेवजह सोचो में तेरी ही डूबे रहना,
तेरा वो पल दो पल का मिलना और बिछड़ने की सोच के मेरा, ख़ोफज़दा हो जाना।

तू लापरवाह था, बेफ़िक्र ज़माने भर का, ईश्क भी मौज थी ज़िंदगी की, तेरे लिए, 
तूने समझा एक झोंका सर्द सा और वो आग थी उम्र भर के जलाने के लिए।

वो मज़े लेना बेतकल्लुफ़ हो कर मुझ से और मेरा सहम जाना, सोच कर बहुत कुछ,
तुझे जानती थी बख़ूब और अंजामे मुहब्बत भी, तू दुआ भी था और मेरा दर्द भी।

तेरा वो बढ़ जाना आगे, किसी और के लिए और छोड़ जाना मुझे बीच राहें,
वो मेरा भी बदल देना रास्ते तेरे हमेशा के लिए, दिल में दफन कर चाहें।

आज फ़सले हैं दरमियाँ, तू कही और मै कही, ज़िंदगी भी ख़ूब मशगूल है,
एक ख़लिश सी है हर तरफ़, एक लो है जो दोनो तरफ़ जल रही है।

YU HE




Kwaish hai meere dil ki kay mujhey chaheye tu yu he,
parao per umar kay kisi bhi, hatho main hath rahay yu he.

Uthay jab bhi nigah teere, uthay meere pyaar main yu he,
Tu ghair ki he sahi, per dil ne tujhey apna jana yu he.

Yeh faslay, yeh dureyaan, yeh baybase yeh mohabaat yu he,
Yeh badeshay duniya bhaar ki, aur meere laperwahi yu he.

teere tamanna leye, yeh zingadi ka guzzer jana yu he,
Kabhi milne ki koshish, kabhi  umeedo ka tutna yu he.

Dil-a-nadan keyu karta hai kwaishey namumkin yu he,
Kabhi pehlu main baythu teere aur bhul jau yeh zamana yu he.

Dancing at the beats of Rain








Saw a girl, dancing on the beats of the rain
Wet clothes draping her body, giving her a shape
Hair like creepers, sliding from her head downwards
She was in ecstasy, in bliss, careless and delighted


Rain drops falling to catch her cheery steps
Kissing her prettiness, dropping on her head
Falling down on the earth, for the last touch of her toe
Like thousands of pearl strings broken and showering on her.

Clouds are dark and thunder is loud, 
Nature is in high spirits flowing its sanction
Clouds are in love and melting in the form of water
To quench the thirst of clouds by touching her beauty

She is with moist body and fresh like a rose
Reflecting her beauty as sun rays come from dawn
Bright, amusing, fragrant and jovial in nature
I am watching her from a distance, tasting nature through a glance at her.

Setting My Soul Free



I took a fleeting look; dizziness melting into my lonesome eyes,
I have tales to share; my dried lips are vibrating with lack of words.

An assembly is disposed around me, sealing my worldly body firmly,
My chest is suffocating by lack of breath and choking me badly.

I want to search you in the flock, before dropping my eyelids for the last time,
Desirous for a gentle touch of yours, before leaving this corpse of mine.

Ah! I am tired of witnessing your presence; I have to go with yearning,
Lost all hopes and dream, I have to leave from here without any concerning.

A last worldly jerk, led me to unwind and gratis of all responsibility,
They are taking me for the holy bath and bringing the white dress for me,

I am glowing in pure white, with bliss and smiling with heavenly peace,
They are digging in mother earth to bury and setting my soul free.

I have to go, you have to set me free, free from your love,
Free from the desire to be with you, free me and let me go………


Father let me fly



I was born as a little being,
No traits of my own, a nobody,
With eyes closed, tiny and stiff,
You held me in your arms with love and pride.

I was unaware of planet,
You initiated me to it,
gave me a name, that was a part of yours, 
Let your eyes with so many dreams glide.

I started crawling to sense the world,
You provided carpet till every step,
Grant answers to my all stupid queries, 
You bore all my crisis and stood with my side.

You were my institution
Helper and care taker after my mother,
Who gave me confidence and power,
You are my hero papa, but now my world is wide.

I am grown up, to find myself,
Got my aims and target to hit on,
You told me always that sky is my limit, 
Father I want to say, let me fly, I want to stride.

To the unknown avenues
To explore and find my path to tread upon
I have to move on from your security
Father let me face the realities, and grow and not hide
 

I will move with your values,
Will bring name and fame for you,
Fulfill all expectations related to me,
father I am an entity now, desirous to glow with your guide.



Father let me fly….. Father let me fly…..
