लगता था जिन्दगी को

बदलने में वक्त लगेगा

पर क्या पता था बदला

वक्त जिन्दगी बदल देगा…!

☆☆

Always felt, it would take

Time  to  change  the life…

Never knew that changed

time would change the life…!

☆☆☆☆☆

हालात तो कह रहे हैं

मुलाकात नहीं मुमकिन

पर उम्मीद कह रही है

थोड़ा  इंतजार  कर…

☆☆

Circumstances are saying

It’s not possible to meet

But the expectation  says

Just  wait  for a  while..!

☆☆☆☆☆

अब तो तन्हाई भी

मुझसे है कहने लगी

मुझसे ही कर लो मोहब्बत

मैं  तो  बेवफा नहीं…

☆☆

Now,  even loneliness

has also started saying 

Please fall in love with me

At least I am not unfaithful…

☆☆☆☆☆

नज़र जिसकी समझ सके

वही  दोस्त  है वरना…

खूबसूरत   चेहरे  तो

दुश्मनों के भी होते हैं…

☆☆

Just a glance  of  whose,

perceives you fully, is your friend

Otherwise  even   enemies

Too  have  pretty  faces…!

अधूरी कहानी पर ख़ामोश

लबों का पहरा है

चोट रूह की है इसलिए

दर्द ज़रा गहरा है….

☆☆

Silent lips are the sentinels

Of  the  unfulfilled fairytale…

Wound is of the spirited soul

So the pain is rather intense….

☆☆☆☆☆

हंसते हुए चेहरों को गमों से

आजाद ना समझो साहिब

मुस्कुराहट की पनाहों में भी

हजारों  दर्द  छुपे होते  हैं…

☆☆

O’ Dear, Don’t even consider that

Laughing faces are free of sorrow

Innumerable  pains are  hidden

Even behind the walls of a smile…

☆☆☆☆☆

चुपचाप चल रहे थे

ज़िन्दगी के सफर में

तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी

बस  गुमराह  हो  गए…

☆☆

Was walking peacefully

In  the  journey of the life

Just casting a glance on you

Made my journey go astray…

☆☆☆☆☆

ज़रा सी कैद से ही

घुटन होने  लगी…

तुम तो पंछी पालने

के  बड़े  शौक़ीन थे…

☆☆

Just a little bit of confinement

Made you feel so suffocated

But keeping the birds caged

You were so very fond of…!

तूफ़ां के से हालात हैं
ना किसी सफर में रहो…
पंछियों से है गुज़ारिश
रहो सिर्फ अपने शज़र में

☆☆

There’re stormy conditions
Don’t set sail for any voyage
Pleading with the avian-world
To keep nestled in their trees

☆☆☆☆☆

ईद का चाँद बन बस रहो
अपने ही घरवालों के संग
ये उनकी खुशकिस्मती है
कि बस हो उनकी नज़र में…

☆☆

Even in, once in a blue moon
Don’t step out be with family
It’s a blissful fortune only
That you’re before their eyes

☆☆☆☆☆

माना बंजारों की तरह
घूमते ही रहे डगर-डगर…
वक़्त का तक़ाज़ा है अब
रहो सिर्फ अपने ही शहर में …

☆☆

Agreed like gypsies you’ve
Been wandering endlessly
It’s the need of hour that
You stay in your own town…

☆☆☆☆☆

तुमने कितनी खाक़ छानी
हर गली हर चौबारे की
थोड़े दिन की तो बात है
बस रहो सिर्फ अपने घर में…
☆☆
Much did you wander around
Every nook and every corner
It’s a matter of few days only
Keep staying in your house…

मुख़्तसर सा गुरूर भी

ज़रूरी है जीने के लिए

ज़्यादा  झुक  के मिलो

तो  दुनिया पीठ को ही

पायदान  बना लेती है…

☆☆

Some arrogance, too,  is

Necessary to live, if you

bend too much to meet

Then  the  world makes

your back a footmat only…

☆☆☆☆☆

माना  तेरी  उलझन हूँ  मैं

पर तेरी सुलझन भी हूँ  मैं…

थोड़ा दीवाना ही सही मैं

मगर  बड़ा दिलदार हूँ  मैं…

☆☆

Agreed I’m your riddle only…

But I’m your solution too…

Though I am  bit crazy

But a large-hearted one!

☆☆☆☆☆

क्या करोगे अब तुम

मेरे पास आकर भी..

खो दिया है तुमने मुझे

बार-बार आजमा कर…

☆☆

What will you do now

By coming close to me…

You’ve lost me for good

By trying again and again

☆☆☆☆☆

हर  वक़्त  फ़िजाओं  में,

महसूस करोगे तुम हमको…

हम दोस्ती की वो ख़ुशबू हैं,

जो महकते रहेंगे  उम्र भर…

☆☆

At all times in environment

You  will  always  feel  me

I’m fragrance of friendship

That will last the whole life
