Maa...

Sach  Puchiye to

Aadmi ki Itni badi Ye zindagi 

Sirf Do Aurton ki Muhtaaj Hoti hai

Ek woh 

Jo use Apni Jaan bhi De kar 

Is Haseen Duniya main le aati hai

Parwaan Chadati hai

Aur Doosri Woh Jo

Dauraan-e-safar, ek Wafa daar Dost ki trah

Kabhi Dukh main,  Sukh main

Kabhi Mehfil Main,  Tanhyaee main

Har Trah Saath Nibhati hai

TUM Jaa Chuki Ho

WOH Jaa Rahi hain

DUA Karna!!

Be-Ghar...

Tum ne Us Ghar ki Deewaron par

Meri Tasveeren Laga Rakhi thin

Tum Kahaa Karti thin ke

Jab Main Ghar Nahi Hota to 

Woh Deewaren Bolti hain

IS Ghar main bhi Tasveeren lagi hain

US ghar main Roshni bhi

Tumhari Pasand ke Rang Audh ke Aati

IS ghar main bhi Wohi Rang hain Us ke

US ghar ke Lamp, Wind Chimes, Sofa set, aur Bartan

Sab Tumhari Pasand ke hote the 

Is ghar main bhi wohi  hian

Ye Ghar Bilkul Waisa hi Hai 

Jaisa Tum Rakhaa Karti thin

Farak Bas Itna ke

IS Ghar Main Bilkul Be-Ghar Hoon Main!

Ghar...

Woh Chota sa Ghar Bhaut Accha tha...

Ek Bade Se Ghar main Rehte Hue 

Ek Din Tum ne Yu hi Kahaa tha

"Bedroom , Hall, Gallery aur kitchen

Har Jagah se Main Tumhen 

Dekh to Sakti thi

Is bade Ghar Main Tum Dikhayee Nahi Dete

Mujhe Accha nahi Lagtaa

Woh Chota Sa Ghar Bachut Accha tha!"

Suno!

Ye to Batao...

In Dino Tum Kis Trah Jeeti Ho?

aur Kiya Wakai Ab tum Jeeti Ho?

Gangaa meri....

Aye Gangaa Meri...

Hazaron Saal se Isi  Muqaam se Beh kar 

Jaane Kaise Kaise Manzar Dekhen Honge
Sukh ke, Dukh ke aur bhi bahut

Aur phir

Kisi Sugadh Aurat ki Trah Tum ne

Un Sab ko Apne Seene main Samo Liya hoga

Jaise ke Kuch hua hi Na tha...

To Phir us Manzar ko Bahaa kiyoon na Le gayin?

Jab Ek Joda Kinaare Tumhare Utra tha

Jab Mehndi ke Rang Taaza the

Aur Armaano Ka Dera Tha

Jab Kehkahye aur Sargoshiyon ne

Kitne Khwabon ko Ghera tha

Jab Kisi ki Muskurahat ne

Noor Thumhare Chere pe bhi to Bikheraa tha!

Itne Baras baad Woh Manzar 

Aaj bhi wahin Pe Rehta  hai

Main Khud Use Dekh Kar Ke lauta hoon

Meri Mano to, Aye Gangaa Meri

Jis Trah Waqt Ke Bahao ne 

Us Jode ko Alag Alag Kinaro Pe Utaara hai

Tum bhi Us Manzar ko bahaa  Le Jao 

Aur Is Raaz ko aur Raazon Ki Trah

Apne Seene main Samaa Jaane do

Ab Is Manzar ko Beh  bhi Jaane do!!

Rishwat...

Waqt Marham hai, JHo Guzar kar Aksar

Har Zakham, Har Baat bhiula detaa hai

Par Tumhari yaadon ko is ne

Yu zinda Rakha hai jaise

Kal hi ki baat ho

Jaise ke Tum Nahaa kar nikogi abhi

Aur Paa kar muntazir mujhe

Junjhlaogi, phir kuch soch kar sharmaogi

Ya Phir

Is Saneechar bhi mujhe kaam par jana hoga

Aur Der raat lautne pe mere

Khwaabeeda un aankhon se darwaza khologi, Bataogi

"Intezaar karte hue abhi aankh lagi thi"

Aur ya phir

Aakhri Baar mujhe Rukhsat karne ke liye

Ghar ki Gallery main aa kar Tum

Bade sukoon se Hath Yun Hilaogi, Muskuraogi

Jaise ke Ye Mulaqat aakhri na thi

Waqt ka Kaam hi hai 

ke woh Guzar kar Aksar

Saare Tasveeren, Sab Nishaan mitaa deta hai

Lekin is baar

Aisa kuch nahi kiya Waqt ne

Hamen ab Tak sang Rakha hai Waqt ne

Kahin Tum ne Is ko Rishwat to na di thi?
