Kahi Ankahi

chhupana chahu bhi to kaise, chhupane ko raaz nahin milte
anjam to haasil kar bhi lun, par un tak jane ke aaghaaz nahin milte
kaise karun shumaar ek sher mein meyaar-e-mohabbat
ki isko to bayaan karne ko alfaaz nahin milte


 
zubaan taqreer kho baithi, ye dil hairan ho baitha,
tere is husn ke jalwe pe main qurban ho baitha,
ye charcha aam hai lekin zara si khaas bhi to hai,
ki kyun is ishq ke masle mein apni jaan kho baitha........


 
haathon ki lakeero se, muqaddar na ban saka
jo khwab mein mila tha, haqeeqat na ban saka
aansoo bhi sookhkar ab to ruk se hi gaye
mere hi dil mein kyun gulnuma manzar na ban saka


 
majbooriyon ko aksar aadat bante dekha hai
kamzoriyon ko aksar himmat bante dekha hai
nazar nazar ka fer hai warna kya main aur kya tu
har kisike haath mein kismat ki rekha hai....


 
har ek subah ki yahan shaam huyi hai
kuchh hasratein hi bas be-lagam huyi hai
hum mehnat kar mar chale pichhle saal
par lagta hai pichhle saal to bas, sheila jawan aur munni badnaam huyi hai
