❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सियासतों की तरह है

मोहब्बतों का मिजाज,

जिसे भी सौंपी हुकूमत

बस उसी ने लूट लिया….

The temperament of love

is just like politics only

Whomever we hand over

the rule he only robs us!

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

इतनी सी है बस असलियत इन

हमेशा हँसते मुसकुराते लोगों की

बस ज़रा सा ज़ोर से गले लगाओ

तो बस दिल खोलकर रो देते हैं….!

This much only is the reality

of these always-smiling people ….

Just a little tight hug, and

Lo! They open their heart to cry ….

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अब तुम हमें समझाया न करो

कि अब जो हुआ सो हुआ,

अगर मोहब्बत मशवरा होती

तो हम भी पूछ कर करते…

Now don’t explain it to me that

what’s happened has happened,

If love was done with consultation

I’d have also done it by asking you….

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अहमियत यहाँ सिर्फ

हैसियत को मिलती है,

और हम हैं कि अपने

जज़्बात लिए फिरते हैं …..

Importance is accorded

only to the status here

And here I’m just wandering

around with the emotions ….!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

गर किसी से इश्क करते हो

तो फिर खामोश ही रहना

वरना  जरा  सी ठेस लगी

कि ये शीशा टूट जाता है….

If you love someone

then keep silence only

Otherwise, just a hurt

and this glass shatters!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

भला ये आईने  क्या बयाँ कर सकेंगे

तुम्हारी  शख्सियत  की  खूबियाँ

कभी आके हमारी आँखों से  पूछो

कि  कितने  लाज़वाब  हो  तुम..!

What narration can these mirrors

ever give  of  your  persona…

Come over sometime and ask my

eyes as to how awesome you are!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मुझे उस जगह से भी

मोहब्बत हो जाती है

जहाँ बैठ कर एक बार

तुम्हें सोच लेता  हूँ…!

I just fall in love

with that place,  too

where I sit and think

of you even once…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

न रुकी वक़्त की गर्दिश

न  ही  बदला ज़माना ,

पेड़  सूखा  तो  परिंदों

ने भी  ठिकाना बदला…

Neither atrocities of time stopped

nor the world ever changed,

When tree dried up then the

birds also shifted their nests ….!

☆ Genesis…

She kept expressing

her endearment

through the utterances,

She kept showing

her affection through

the penned missives…

But me,

-the ever insane,

remained immersed

into the feelings only,

Agreed that the

Expression has

its own depth,

But listen,

Feeling is the

Mother of all expressions!

इल्जाम तो हर हाल में

काँटों  पर  ही  लगेगा…

ये सोचकर कुछ फूल भी

चुपचाप ज़ख्म दे जाते हैं…!

As such, blame will always be

there on the thorns only….

Considering this even some flowers

quietly inflict the wounds….!

रहने दो कि अब तुम भी

मुझे पढ़ न सकोगे

बरसात में काग़ज़ की

तरह भीग गया हूँ  मैं ..!

Let it be, now even

you can’t read me

I’m like the paper

drenched in the rain…!

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मैं हूँ दिल है,

तन्हाई भी है

तुम भी होते,

तो अच्छा होता…

I’m there, heart is there,

loneliness is also there

It would have been nice,

If you were there too..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अगर कभी फ़ुर्सत मिले तो

पानी की लहरों को पढ़ लेना,

हर इक दरिया हज़ारों साल

का अफसाना लिखता है…

If you ever get time, then

read the waves of water,

Every single river writes

tales of many of eras…!

☆ Videh -the Bodiless…

Suffering from the

night blindness

myriad pains kept

aiming at me endlessly,

considering me

just a body…

But across the body

residing my strong

indomitable will-to-live

kept smiling adamantly

at their folly…!

दिलकश मुस्कुराहट पर तो

Creditable is when someone

shares the tears too….!

 ☆  Lekhan -the Authorship…

The verbosity of life

got rendered speechless,

Death too

became dumbstruck

After listening

to my decision…

to go without hesitation

with the death…

Don’t know

what was the effect…

Together they both asked-

If something

is incomplete

We can wait

for a while

I smeared a ‘Tilak’ on the

forehead of the paper

with my pen

and said-

That’s all,

Just wrote today’s part…

Let’s go now..!

खामोश रहने का

अपना ही मजा है,

नींव के पत्थर…

कभी बोला नहीं करते…

Being silent

has its own fun,

Foundation stones

never speak…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

काश सीख पाते हम भी,

मीठे झूठ बोलने का हुनर

कड़वे सच ने तो  ना जाने

कितने लोग हमसे छीन लिए..!

Wish I could also learn the

art  of  telling  sweet  lies…

Knoweth not how many people did

the  bitter  truth  snatch  from  me..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ना तुमसे मिलने की आस है

ना ही तुम्हें पाने की प्यास है,

फिर भी तुम्हारे प्यार का जुनून है

ये देता मेरे दिल को बड़ा सुकून है …!

Neither any hope is there of meeting you

Nor is any urge left to have you, still,

The passionate obsession of your love

gives serene tranquility to my heart ….!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कितना आसान है कह देना

कि मैं भूल  जाऊँ  तुम्हें,

क्या जिस्म से भी कभी रूह

यूँ आसानी से निकलती है…

How easy it is to say

that I must forget you,

Does  the  soul  ever  

leave the body easily!
