poems

Agar hum kahen, aur woh muskura den,
Hum unke liye, zindagani loota den.

Har ek mod par hum, gamon ko sazaa den,
chalo zindagi ko mohabat bana den.

Agar khud ko bhoole to, kuch bhi na bhoole,
ke chahat mein unki khuda ko bhoola den.

Qayamat ke deewane, kehte hain humse,
chalo unke chehre se parda hata den.

Saaja den, sila den, bana den, mita den,
magar woh koi, faisla to suna den.

na chero en aansoo_on ko enhe behne do
na aao paas, humhe yuin he jeene do

koi baahein de de sahara aisi apni kismat he nahi
zindagi ka gum unmei bhul jaoon ye apne mukadar mei nahi

jo bhi mila, jaate huey ek dard thamata he gaya
pal do pal ka de kar saath, bhulaata he gaya

kahin koi to dosh hoga mera, aisa bhi kaya
ya phir kismat mei he shayad ye likha hai to kaya

kehte hain wo ruhi mei hai ruh basi
kitni tanha hai ruh, jo ruh ruhi mei hai basi

rahe jis haal mei bhi hum, tumhe pukara karein
tum aao ya na aao, umeedon ke chirag hum jalaya karein


bayaan kaise ho haal-e-dil ka..
jab pakad mein kambaqht alfaaz nahin

zara badh ke bosa le lena "muztar"..
mashooq tera itnaa bhi faraaz nahin
[ bosa = kiss , mashooq = beloved , faraaz = tall ]

Barson baad jagi hai tamanna aaj
Teri baaton ne dil gudgudaya hai
Ansoo behte hai, man machalta hai
Pyar ka shen kahin gujar na jaye
yun khali khali se bathe hain
Kahin tu mil kar phir kho na jaye
Doston ke liye arz kiya hai ki...

Yeh bhi kaisi Holi hai?
Jab koi hamaare sang nahin
Shor aur hurdang nahin
Gubbaare aur koi rang nahin
Na gehun, na dhaan ki baali
Na hee jija, naa hee saali !!

Yeh bhi kaisi Holi hai?
Na shaitaanon ki toli hai
Na bhaang ki koi gholi hai
Ek phrase hai ki-"Happy Holi" hai
Na kachori, na gulab-jamun hain
Soone- sookhe aangan hain
Jab gujhiyaan beshumaar nahin
Thahaakon ki bharmaar nahin

Yeh bhi kaisi Holi hai?
Na gaal- peele- laal hain
Na rang se chipke baal hain
Na kapdon par bikharaa gulaal hai
Na nachchiyon ki dhamaal hai
Na pichkaari ki dhaar hai
Na bheege rishtedaar hai

Yeh bhi kaisi Holi hai?
Jab chuppi sab ki boli hai
Bharat ka dil mein pyaar hai
Vaapis jaane ka intzaar hai
Tab bheegenge saare rangon mein
Jhumenge saathi-sangon mein
Holi sirf rangon ka tyohaar nahin
Kya Holi jab aapas mein pyaar nahin?

Aao hum apni Holi manaayen
Doston ko koi nayi kavita sunaayen
Gaane gaayen, bansuri bajaayen
Laddu-pede nahin hain to kya
Apni baaton ki mithaas hai
Vichaar bhi to apne khaas hain
Dil-he-dil mein aankh-micholi khelen
Aao, binaa rang ke holi khelen !!!

chote the, maan uple thapa karti thi
hum uplon par shaklein goontha kerte the
aankh lagakar ? kaan banakar
naak lagakar
pagdi waala ? topi waala
mera upla ?
tera upla
apne apne jaane pehchane namon se upla thapa kerte
the

hansta khelta suraj roz sabere aakar
gobar ke uplon mein khela karta tha
raat ko aangan mein jab chulha jalta tha
hum sare chulhe gher ke baithe rehte the
kis uple ki baari aayi
kiska upla raakh hua

who pandit tha
ek munna tha
ek dasrath tha

barson baad main
shamshan mein baitha soch reha hoon
aaj raat is waqt ke jalte chulhe mein
ek dost ka upla aur gaya. --Gulzar

Freedom

She was an angel soaring high in the sky above free,
Then my love made her free to lose her liberty.
And she felt captive bound in a golden chain,
No! I cannot see you uneasy my beauty with the brain.
You are free my love, you shall stand no trial,
It is sufficient if you remember me once in a while,
For it is a pleasure too to remember,
To remember a friend who shall be sincere,
A constant friend who shall prove to be a treasure,
Wherever you may need him and whenever.
Who shall be always by your side,
As a friend and as your guide.
~*~

Feelings

I'll cry for you; I'll wash away your pain with my tears,
I'll pray for you, feel pain for you.
I see your face every place I'm walking,
Hear your voice every place I'm talking.
I'll lie for you, steal for you,
Crawl on my hands and knees until you believe in me.

The Change

Life has a new meaning,
Who brought this change?
To make everyday more purposeful,
Who gave a new direction to life,
Motivating every moment of it.
It is so comforting to believe,
That somewhere someone remembers you,
Is concerned about you and cares for you.
Prays to the lords who sent this angel to me,
Cause it is she who brought this change.
~*~
Lost love

Never could I tell you all that I had to say
Now it is too late that you are so far away
One sweet day perhaps, I shall tell you
All the stupid things I wanted to say
Sometimes I wish if could turn time
Impossible as it may seem, but I wish if I could someday
Till then
Remember me not in your life as a blot or a ghost,
But as a man?
Who became worshipper from a dost.

Fragments of My Fate

Reality is a dream: for a soul in thought
Life is a platitude: for a heart in fragments
Time is a whirlpool: for a mind in wander
Love is a lie: for a body in wither
Laughter can be no medicine when the wound is the cure,
Wine is without effect when the spirit is asunder
Of what use is fate to a man in sin ?
Of what need is destiny to a dying kin ?
I looked for an answer that Eternity hath writ, ?
The treasure of your youth,
she said lies in the fragments of your fate?

koi jangal main ja thehray
kisi basti main bus jaye

mohabbat saath hoti hai
mohabbat khushion ka aangun

mohabbat mausamon ki dhun
mohabbat wadiyon main

morni ka tum
mohabbat barf parti sardion main

dhoop ki manind
mohabbat chilchilatay sehra main

thandi chaoon ki manind
mohabbat ajnabi dunya main
apnay gaaon ki manind
mohabbat dil

mohabbat jaan
mohabbat rooh ka darmaan

aur

mujhay tum se
mohabbat hai!!!!!!

Tum kya ho mere liye...

Tum kya ho -mere liye
yeh bata nahi sakte mere

likhe alfasz in kagaz ke tukdo per
padh sako to padh lena

meri aankho ki kitaab per
meri har dhdkan pukarti hai

sirf tumahra hi naam
sun sako to sun lena

mere dil ki betaab
dhadkano ko

tere paas aane se
mehak uthti hai

meri khoyi hui arzoo
mehsoos kar sako

to kar lena
meri saanso ki kushboo mein !!!!
