Utha Leta Hoon Kalam

Utha leta hoon kalam apna ..
Dil mein jab bhi jazbaaton ka toofan bharta hai !
Likhta jaata hoon koore panno ko main ..
Dil jab bhi purane yaadon mein aahein bharta hai !
Koshish rehti hai meri sab kuch bayan karne ki ..
Lekin har baar alfaaz kam padjate hai hai !
Kitne hi jawaab detoun iss dil ko main ..
Har baar iske andaaz mein sawal rehta hai !
Armaan panno par utare nahi utar te ..
Aur har baar ye kaagaz koora reh jaata hai !

Khawabon Ki Kashti

  

Kitna pyaara tha woh bachpan ..
Na koi jhooti baatein na jhoote log ..
Joh mann mein aata keh dete !

Ek bachpan ka zaamana tha ..
Jiss mein khushi ka khazana tha ..
Aur dil bhi khilone tootne par tuta karte thay !

Aake jaawani mein woh bachpan khodiya ..
Ab toh ek aansu tak bhi bardaasht nahi hota ..
Aur bachpan mein jee bharkar roya karte thay !

Jaane kaha khogaye woh shyaam suhane ..
Woh Kagaz ki Kashti .. Woh Baarish Ka Paani  ..
Reh gaye bas abb ek Adhuri Kahaani !!

Raatein Khamosh Si

Yeh raatein bhi akele tanhai mein ..
Na jaane kya gungunate hai ..
Na khud soote hai na soone dete hai !

Phir khamosh si hai raatein ..
Inn raaton ki chaadar mein kitne khwaab chupaye baithi hai !

Khaali sa hai aashiyaana hamara ..
Guzaari hai raat phir tumhari yaad mein ..
Raatein bhi abb raaton si nahi lagti !

Woh raatein bhi kya raatein thee ..
Jisski aankahi baatein thee !

Raaton ko jagne ka sil sila abb bhi wahi hai ..
Bas pehle tumhari baatein jagayee rakhti thee ..
Ab yaadein soone nahi deti !

Talashta hoon abb andheeron mein ..
Har saaye ko shayad tumhara aks miljaaye !
