Zindagi

जब  अफसाना-ए-हस्ती सोचता हूँ,
तो लगता है.
कितनी ही अलग अलग जिंदगियां जी रहा हूँ मैं.

एक ज़िन्दगी तेरे गम में जीता हूँ.
एक ज़िन्दगी उसे भुलाने की.

ख्वाहिशों की एक उम्र लेता हूँ.
और उनको पूरा करने की जद्दोजहत एक ज़िन्दगी.

एक ज़िन्दगी अपनी ही जीता मैं.
और एक हर अपने की.

प्यार की एक ज़िन्दगी, आवारगी की एक ज़िन्दगी.
ज़िन्दगी मज़हब की, बग़ावत की एक ज़िन्दगी.

किसी के मन में सुकून,
किसी के मन में बदनाम एक ज़िन्दगी.

जीता हूँ कभी जुनून की.
कभी बस नाम की ही ज़िन्दगी.

zindagi guzarenge kaise

har pal ke baad
ek khaali aah si nikalti hai,
har shaam ke baad
khushi din guzar jaane ki rehti hai.

khush hoon ya nahin hoon main
kashmakash main sama rehta hai,
jo ho raha hai, ho
guzarti hawa main din behta hai.

rago main bezaar,
behta rehta hai lahu jaise,
saanse bemaksad,
leta rehta hoon main waise.

Ek lamha jo guzar jata hai,
fir sochta hoon kuch aur guzarunga kaise.
chand palon ki baat hoti toh theek tha.
sochta hoon
zindagi guzarunga kaise.

kabhi socha hi hota,
kaise din guzarte honge.
tera sar kissi aur ke kandhe pe,
dekh ke kaise jeete honge.

na khata teri na khata meri,
parr guzarte guzarte hi aise.
suroor-e-muhabbat ki jahan main,
bepanah numayish to na karte honge

woh aankhon ki masti, woh chehre ki muskaan.
woh naye purane geet, woh meethi kayi jahan ke baatein.

fir se us bazaar main jaane ki ab himmat nahin hai,
wahin lut gayi kayi baar, sahab woh dukaan hamari hai.

dalate rahein kab tak
kabr-e-gam pe tanha ki yun mitti,
ki koi raazdar hai hi nahin.

dete rahein kab tak
gam-e-dil ko dilasa,
ki nahin koi gubaar hai hi nahin.

karte rahein kab tak.
shab-e-noor ka intezaar,
kissi khwaab main bhi mehtaab hai hi nahin.

Tanha hai yeh kashti
jahan chahe chali jaye.
aur karein kya jab, ki koi manjhi hai hi nahin

[rag=nerve, sang=stone, sharaar=flash]

khafa nahin hote, juda nahin hote.
ji rahe hain hum, ji rahe ho tum.
dard main tadap ke, fana nahin hote.

sutte si zindagi, lab pe rakhi hai.
dhuaan uda raha hoon, neeche raakh gira raha hoon.

Dil ke karwaan toh kayi nikale,
Saanson ke darmiyaan, silsile bhi hue.

Bewafa, Bekaraar, Badnaam bhi hue,
Log Milte rahe, bas Anjaam na mile.

tu nahin, teri justjoo kisliye...

bhool jaoonga, ab aur kya karoonga.
dard ko aur kab tak sametoonga.
keh diya hai dil se...
tu nahin fir teri justjoo kisliye.

abhi jab sochta hoon ki tu nahin,gar zindagi main meri.
ruk si jaati hai dhadkane us pal main meri.
jis lamha hakeekat ho jayega yeh, ya khuda.
darta hoon isliye, .....

jis gadhi kuch dekhta hoon manzar khushnuma,
lagta hai tum nahin toh kitna bejaan hai sab.
kissi mehfil main khoya rehta hoon kabhi,
darta hoon jab lagta hai kitna viraan hai sab.

kab tak jiyoonga, gar bhula na paya.
kab tak piyoonga, ki bhula na paya.
sochta hoon itna parr samajh nahin paya,
tu nahin toh teri justjoo kisliye.

parr haan bhula doonga,
tu nahin fir bhi jiyoonga.

pi loonga bekhud har viraani mehfil main
keh doonga pashemaan har bejaan-e- manzar se
ki, darr ki hakeekat banane se pehle.
maan le
tu nahin toh aakhir teri justjoo kisliye.

Daastan- e- Zindagi

kisi shaam tum aao is gali,
toh sunate hain daastan e zindagi,
kaise fizool karte hain din,
aur kaise chand lamho main guzarti hai yeh zindagi

khayalon ki kadr nahin rehti,
aur na hakikat ki khwahish.
kaise basar hoga,
bakhuda yehi sawale zindagi.

na maksad hai,
na ishare hain,
sarfarosh hote toh accha tha,
kya karein bina matlab e zindagi.

hazaron raastein hai,
mod kayi hain,
kahan jayenge jab hai hi nahin raah-e-zindagi.

rog kayi hain,
hakim kayi hain,
mar jayenge jab hai hi nahin bukhar-e-zindagi

Zindagi ka maksad, tum main

Mujhe na pata hai, na main janana chahta hoon,
tum mujhe chahti ho ya nahin.

Mujhe na pata hai, na main janana chahta hoon,
main tumhe chahta hoon ya nahin.

Parr sochta hoon jab kabhi apne barein main akele,
toh aa jati ho khayalon main jaane kahin se.
aur nazar aane lagta hai tasavvoor ke saaye main,
Zindagi ka ek maksad sa tum main.

rahon ki fariyaad nahin karte

Zindagi ke guzarte lamhon ka hum,
ab hisaab nahin rakhte.
guzar rahe hain pal jis tarah,
daastano ki ab tareekh nahin rakhte.
Hota rehta hai kuch accha kuch bura,
inki barbas hi pehchaan nahin karte.

Sochte hain hazaron ke barein main,
par is darmiyan apna hi khayal nahin karte.
Zameen par anjaan nishaano ko niharte hain,
aur apni hi tasveer par gaur nahin karte.

jee rahe hain khudi se,
kissi ke paas ki aas nahin rakhte.
lakshya bante hain, bigadte hain,
aur rahon ki fariyaad bhi nahin karte.

क्षणभंगुर है

ज़िन्दगी मजबूर होती है कभी इतनी,
दूर तक कोई राह नहीं दिखती.

अपने जो लगते थे कभी,
करीब होते नहीं तभी.

समाँ वीरान होता है, वो जो शमा लगती थी कभी,
रोशन होती नहीं तभी.

सब कुछ जो हो रहा होता है, आसपास,
सामान्य लगता है हमेशा,
अजीब सा  लगने लगता है तभी.

खुश है जीवन फ़िर भी, क्योंकी जनता हूँ,
पल भर का है ये सब.
क्षणभंगुर है. 

tujhe bhool nahin pata

Zindagi tere bina Guzar loon, Soch bhi nahin pata
yeh lamha tu kareeb nahin, seh nahin pata
kya karoon eh khuda, dard hai ki kam hota hi nahin
sochna nahin chahta, aur yeh zakhm bhar bhi nahin pata.

tu khayalon main aati hai, aur dil bikhar sa jata hai
tere khayalon se har lamha bhagne ko ji chahta hai
tu mere dil main reh nahin sakti, aur main hoon ke nikaal nahin pata

tumhare bin

Tumhare bin Zindagi ka maksad samajh nahin pata,
Din guzarte hain, ek lamha guzar nahin pata.

zindagi guzarne ka sochta hoon toh darta hoon.
tum hato nigahon se toh, kuch aur main karta hoon.

paani main shyahi ki ek boond sa hai mujh par tumhara asar,
dheere dheere main toh kuch raha hi nahin, har jagah tum ho magar.

dard ho tumhi toh

ghayal sa hai dil hardam kahin toh.
kya marham lagaoge, dard ho tumhi toh

ji lete khushi se, gam bhi na hota,
na tum aagaz karte, na yeh anzaam hota.

kabhi kabhi hi sahi, pehle hanste toh the khul ke,
ab toh har hansi main rote hain chup ke.

na dil tumko dete, na koi malaal karte.
na tum khuda hote, na hum dua karte.
