ILTIJA...........

Zindagi  milee  hame   khude  se,
Dua  karo   ye  guzre  pyaar  se
Na   karo  yun  shikwe- shikayate..
Lado  na  yun  apne  hee  khoon  se;
Thak  jaoge  tum   ant  se  pehle  -
Ab  to  baat  maano   ekraar  se;
Kya  tumne  kabhi  socha  tha  ?
ik  din  aisa  aayega ;
Laaye   thaey  jise  duniya  mein
Seench  ke  apne  hee  khoon  se
Tumse   hee voh   juda  ho  jayega;
Jaane  bhee  do  eis  aham  ko;
Na   yeh  kaam  aayega
Eis   tarah   to  khoon,  khoon  se-
Aur   bhee  duur   ho  jayega !!

MANZAR .......!!!!!!!!!!

Bayabaan   syaah  raat  mein   jagmagaate  jugnu
Jaise   falak   se   sitarein   utre   hon  zameen   pe;
Ae   khuda   hua  jo tu  itnaa  meherbaan  ,
Aaya  paas  manzar  mere  , dekha  jo  kabhi  door  se -
Kaise  karein  tujhse  ab  shikwa o  gila ;,
Milte  na  jo mujhe  naseeb  mein  kaheen
Dikhayee  aaj  diye  behad  kareeb  se!!!

Wafaa....

Hame  kasam  hai  us  Khuda  ki ;
hum   mayoos  na  honge
zindagi   tum  kar  lo  hairaan ;
palkein  bhichaye baetheinge  umr guzarne -talak
kab  tak  na  aayegi  roshni   bahare -chilman  se
uf  na  kareinge  
har  aah   saheinge
sath  hai  tera   jaane -mehboobi
kab  talak  na  milegi  wafa
kab  tak  raheinge  mehroom  ;
Wo to  khud  ko  khuda  samajh  baethey
par  insaan se bhi  kamzor  nikle !
karte  hain ibaadat  hum bhi ,
Butparasti  bhi
hai  yakeen  dagaaphul  na  hoga ,
shaa mein -umr  hone  tak
Kabhi   to  sharminda  hoge  khud  pe ,
pashe-ma   karmonsitam  pe
hoge  yakeenan  bechain ,
Neendo  se  uthoge chOnk ke,
Tumne  Khuda  banna  chaha  tha ,
pehle  insaan  to  ban  jaate !!
kar lo  hairaan  zindagi ,
kabhi  to  wafa  karoge.

Zindagi ek dard
jise  sahna  mushkil,
zindagi ek kannte ke muafik,
jiski chubhan
har lamha, ek nayee
manzil ki or
chalne ka ahsas karati......
                                              (1984)



Zindagi  mein  insaan ko na jaane
Kitni  rahon se guzarna padta hai
Wo sangdil  rahein , wo mushkilein ,wo shak ki nighaein
Aur  phir;
Unse peecha chudhao bhi to
Ek  baar  phir
Usi  modh pe jake pahunch  jaata hai
Wo  khamoshi , wo intazaari ,wo  raahtaki .
                                                                     (1984)



Do  pal  ki  zindagi
ek   pal  ki intzaari
bacha  samay
samajhne   samjhaane  mein .
                                                                (1984)


Muhabbhat , ekraar ,pyaar
ek  ahsaas  ,   alag- alag  naam
ek   roop  ,  alag- alag  rang,
kisi  ko khokar ho;
Ya -
kisi ko apna kar.
                                                                  (1984)

Reh  gayeen bateein ,  beeti  bateein ,
chulbuli  bateein , wo mutmayeen  rateein ,
guzre pal , khamosh pal ,
har pal ,kal - kal ,
Toota  tasubur , bhikhri  yadeein
Adhoori  bateein , ankahi  rateein .
                                                                (1984)

Zindagi   mein  ek  thokar  lagi
Aaeeyana  choor-choor  gaya
Chehra  surkh  lahoo jum sa  gaya
Aaj  wo arz  kartein hain,
Hum  paraye hue,
Aaj  humko  hi   hamara  sabab  mil  gaya .
                                                                 (1991)


Wo  bachpan  ki  yaadein
wo  machalna ,  ithlana
Yaad  aa aa jaata hai
Apne  paraye ho jaane ke  sath -sath.
                                                                (1991)



Kash   !  wo   kuch   to  sochte
apne  hee  dastkaari   numayinde
ko  paraye karne se pehle .

" Ek Mannat "

Kyu  hai  kashmkash, Kyu hain sawaal par sawaal ;
Hain  kyu  raahein ubad - khabad ;
Milte  nahi  jawaab;
Chal rahein hain kabse chalte hi ja rahein hain,
Deekha  hi  nahi  padaow;
Pal bhar ki chaon paeee
Adhure hi  rahe khawab ;
Tapish ki tap sahne ke liye
Phir se hum nikal pade
Ae  Khuda tu de hi de
Ankhen moonde,mere jawaab;
Talaash ko ho ab ant ;
Ho kashmkash khatm;
karein ab to mahphoos -
Dhoop aur baarish se;
Zamaane ki sangdili se;
Bas phir na hum yun chalenge;
Hum to bas basenge !
hum to bas basenge.

Enough Is Enough

When is enough Enough ?
Silence  long   stretchful...
Pain numb...recurring;
Sighs  ocean deep;endless.
Deep red wounded hearts; scaly;
Scarring  one  forever-
Enduring  all through  life's summer
Thus life moves on ;
Shallow, empty from morn to eve;
only to sleep and eat ; Oh ! yes
It  lures one to be a little thrifty ;
Once in a while,
Otherwise;
It's one big burden ; too wholesome-
Throw into the waters as a waste
Watch it rise,
As the dirty froth- unwanted; undesirable
Often enough is never enough !
Pain to be swallowed much more,
Strength to be awakened gradually;
Build it up !
For  enough is never Enough .

POKING

Well as the title suggests , it can be so pinching ! yes this is what I am trying to convey through this small write up . Isn't it amazing we have all the time in the world to pry into somebody's life. XYZee has not done his/hers work or maybe there's something wrong with the relationship there we go beserk spilling it all out . Do we really care for anyone's feeling? All we concentrate is our maximum advantage and the euphoric thrill that accompanies it . Somewhere we are besotted with the game of who's one up .In the process we end up spreading bitterness around us . Poking comes in varied forms , it could range from a simple needling to the extent of going through a harrowing experience of facing embarrassment and self humiliation . So much so that , if one doesnot keep his defences ready then he/she may keep falling victim to the prey ! How do we go about treating it ? Well in my opinion , the best way would be , not to give any opportunity to these POKERS We will have to be on guard from these onlookers who behave very sweet and sugary
