मुस्कुरा रही थी मैं कल रात
देखा गाल गीले से हैं
क्या पता क्या हुई थी बात
जो आंखों से आंसू चल पड़े हैं
दोस्ती का मतलब पूछा उसने
आंसुओं को भी हंसी आ गई
मिल जाए जो मतलब इसमें
तो टूट जायेंगे भ्रम बढ़े बढ़े
सोच ही रही थी मैं यह बात
की बड़े जोर से आवाज आई
देखा मेरा भ्रम पड़ा था टूटा
दम तोड़ती दोस्ती ही थी जो कल रात.....
हल्के से मुस्कुराई ।
चले थे हम दोनो साथ साथ
आया एक अकेला सा चौराहा
धीरे से छूटा उसका हाथ
मैं उससे मुड़ते हुए देखता रहा
किसीने उससे वक्त कहा
किसीने कहा वो दोस्त है
किसीने कहा वो बदल गया
कोई बोला मौका परस्त है
मुट्ठी की जोर से बंद मैने
दिल पर रख दिया पत्थर
आंसू को बहने दिया मैंने
मुस्कुराहट को न हटने दिया मगर
मंजिल पर निशाना बनी नजर
अर्थ समझा मछली की आंख का
अंतरात्मा को जिंदा रखा मगर
चोला पहन लिया आखरी राख का
Are the surroundings so loud
Or is it the noise in my head
Am I falling to the ground
Or is it my senses hanging on a thread
Noises, chaos, strong emotions
Running in my mind amok
Breaking beliefs and notions
Putting me at questioning fork
Closing my eyes for direction
Hoping to get clear road ahead
Going beyond the crucification
No more tears willing to be shed
The noise will eventually quieten
Soul will have no more regret
Emotions will no more frighten
As I will lay down finally to rest
Kahani kissi ek chehre ki
Jhoojhta jo roz ek ladai
Doosro se, khud se kabhi
Kabhi lad baithe khud ki parchai
Mashal leke Sachai ki
Koshish diya jalane ki
Nadi ki dhar se takrake
Koshish pathar ko pighlane ki
Ubad khabad ho safar
Chahe bhari ho kathnaiya bhi
Tikki ho manzil par nazar
Raah ho chahe tanhayi ki
Antim rekha par pahunchna hai
Daud ho bas khud se hi
Haare to phir uthna hai
Umeed ki umeed himmat se hi
Aayi navratri ki dhoom
Har taraf rangon ki leher
Woh devi nanhi masoom
Dhundti andhere main saher
Maile hath aur uljhe baal
Aankhon main gehri udasi,
Dekhti durga ka saaj shingar
Bhook se hoti woh ruansi
Koi ajanmi gayi maari
Kahin kehlayi apshaguni
Kissine nocha aatma ko uski
Kissi ki bezubaan rahi kahaani
Dassere ki sham diye jale
Ravan ka hua sareaam sanhaar
Khud ke Andar ravan le chale
Purush ka yeh kaisa anhakar
Jis din liya ma ne shakti roop
Shiv bhole ka jab ho tandav
Durga, kali bane jab Har devi swarup
Tab kya karega yeh manav
Durga bani, bani ambe
Bane woh kabhi kali ma
Har naam ke alag bahane bane
Har dukh harne ek Baan bana
Lakshmi banke sukh diye
Saraswati banke di vidya
Durga ban rakshas vadh kiye
Shakti Roop bani kali ma
Har Roop main kiya udhar
Shakti banke rakshak bani
Khali haath jo pahuncha darbaar
Uski hui Har muraad puri
Samjhe yeh baat gehrayi se
Har woh moorkh insaan
Putra prapti ko jo tarse
De ajanmi ladki ka balidan
Papa mere aaye kanha ke saath
Madhya ratri janmashtmi ka tyohar
Kanha jaisi Har ek baat
Vaise hi shant unka vyavahar
Karam kiye ja apna
Fal ke baare main mat soch
Jo hua acha hua
Kar na kissi baat ka afsos
Ladna padhe chahe apno se
Dharma ka saath na chod
Akela khada chahe ho ek chor pe
Sahi se rishta na tod
Bas ek baat reh gayi alag
Uski na padhi papa par parchayi
Dhale jaise pure krishna jaise
Par seekhi na unki chaturayi
Teer ki seedh par chalte
Sach ki raah par Har din guzare
uski dhoop main chahe ho jalte
Khara sona bane mere Papa pyare
Thoda samajh lo dost
Kitna saral hai gita saar
Jo aaj tera kal kissi aur ka tha
Parson kissi aur ka hoga yaar
Mrigtrishna main bhage sab
Dikhe bhara hua nakhilistaan
Choote hi hota gayab
Rooh jalaye bhabakta registaan
Shunya se shuru huye
Badhavas sa insaan daude
Par 6 foot hi ant main lage
Shunya par aake har kahani ruke
Aaye bappa mere pyare
Saath varsha ki bauchar
Sabki aankh ke dulare
Basa Har dil main unka pyar
Modak bane ,bane ladoo
Bana unke mann ka pakwan
Kapde sundar sunahare pehne
Hawa main gunje unka dhyan
Shankh, ghante ki ho puja
Dhruva ,jaswant ho arpan
Dhup deep jale sham subah
Lal kapda bane unka asan
Hota hai saal bhar intezaar
Bappa aayenge dhoom se
Khil uthta saara sansaar
Jeevan khilta unke aagman se
Bappa aaye milne humse
Khatam hua intezaar
Ghar saja phoolon se
Har din lage tyohar
Roshni se jagmata ghar
Har kone main khushi
Behti Har gali shubh leher
Har phool par ho hansi
Pal bhar main din beete
Udti laddoo ki khusbhu
Dhup deep se Aarti kare
Bhajan mantra se Har din shuru
Aayi visarjan ki sham
Nam aankhon se aansoo chalke
Muskurahat par laga viram
Par dhoom dham se dol baje
Khali asan dekh ke
Sehma sa sabka dil
Agle baras aane ka vada karke
Chal pade bappa apni manzil
Samundra ke kinare baithe
Badi Badi lehron ko takrate dekha
Zindagi ke is akhade main
Unche unche logon ko jhukte dekha
Har khel jeetne wale ko
Bebas haarte huye dekha
Khud ko khuda samajhne wale ko
Pal main insaan bante dekha
Bura na manna mere yaar
Kismet ne yehi daanv pheka hai
Kehti yeh baat bahut baar
Kyunki
Kai baar Jeet ko haar main badalte dekha hai
Baithi main ekant main
Mann ne bahut gote khaye
Dekhti rahi kai raston ko
Koi to ek raah samajh aaye
Dikhi chintiyon ki katar
Daudti cheeni ka daana lekar
Ekta main hai kitni dhar
Sikhaya unhone ek jut hokar
Nazar padi samundra par
Socha hoga kitna gehra
Seep saalon tak khati thokar
Tab milta usse moti sunahra
Kash himmat hoti apni bhi
Jhoojhte huye makde jaisi
Uthe gire phir gire uthe
Jeet tak chal nahi thakti uski
Koyla bolo ya sona
Heera bane ya kundan
Saral tha na unka raasta
Ghas ghas ke hua unka gathan
Ekta aur dhairya ko mili himmat
Piroye yeh moti mehnat ke saath
Inka saath hamesha deti kismet
Kamyabi thamti inka haath
Baan jo chale nishane par
Dhanush apni taar khinche peeche
Andhera ho jab sabse zyada gehra
Pehli Kiran ki roshni usse khinche peeche
Kare jab sher apna shikar
Do kadam apne khinche peeche
Khiladi lagata jab lambi chalang
Khud ko pehle khinche peeche
Waqt jab Maare apni maar
Insaan pal bhar to yeh soche
Diye udharan zindagi ne kai baar
Us samay khudko khinche peeche
Aage tu badhega zaroor
Nishane par teer lagega zaroor
Daud jeetega tu zaroor
2 pal apne pair kheench to peeche !
Teri jeet meri haar
Meri jeet Teri haar
Kehte mujhe dost mere
Uthate yeh baat kitni baar
Dekh ke duniya ko
Taras khata dil mera
Jeet ki is ajeeb talab ko
Na samajh sake woh bechara
Kate chahe dil ke rishtey
Choote chahe apne yaar
Daudta bhagta badhavas main
Andheka kar baitha jeevan saar
Chalte chalte Har dagar
Pahuncha rekha ke us paar
Khada akela aakhri padav par
Is jeet main meri hi haar
Bane tum vyapari
Bane tum davedar
Bahut kuch Bane tum
Dost na ban sake yaar
Hisaab kiye bahut tumne
Baate sukh humne hazaar
Nafa nuksaan lagaya tumne
Dukh baantna bhool gaye yaar
Hansi duniya hume dekh
Choohe banke daude hum
Jeetega to koi ek
Par rahega to chooha hi na yaar
Samjho abhi bhi tum
Saath mil door jayenge
Tez chalenge akele magar
Safar ka kaisa mazaa mere yaar
Kothon main bika koi
Kissi ki boli lagi bazaaron main
Foot Foot ke roya koi
Kissi ka gam chupa muskuraton main
Socha andhere main baithe
Kya kiya leke itna gyan
Bechna hi tha aatma ko
To kis cheez ka itna guman
Bikte bikte itna gire
Ki uthe na phir apni nazron main
Chehre laga ke dohre
Kho gaye khud ke hi lafzon main
Kahani kissi ek chehre ki
Jhoojhta jo roz ek ladai
Doosro se, khud se kabhi
Kabhi lad baithe khud ki parchai
Mashal leke Sachai ki
Koshish diya jalane ki
Nadi ki dhar se takrake
Koshish pathar ko pighlane ki
Ubad khabad ho safar
Chahe bhari ho kathnaiya bhi
Tikki ho manzil par nazar
Raah ho chahe tanhayi ki
Antim rekha par pahunchna hai
Daud ho bas khud se hi
Haare to phir uthna hai
Umeed ki umeed himmat se hi
Barish ki awaz sunte sunte
Chali purani galiyon main.
Saalon ke lamhe samet te
Doobti gayi un yaadon main
Garma garam pakodo ka dhuan
Ya barish main ice cream ka Mazaa
Woh pehli barsaat main bheegna
Woh jawan si khilti fazaa
Woh thandi hawa ka chalna
Woh sham ke badal niharna
Woh phoolon ka mehekna
Woh chidiyon ka chahakna
Woh bhare pani main football
Khelte khilkhilate bahut hasna
Woh baarish se aansoo chupana
Woh agli barish ka intezaar karna
Har boond main simti yaad
Har yaad main muskurana
Reh gayi ab aankhen sirf nam
Kaash phir laute woh zamana
Is bhare maidan main
Kaun apna kaun paraya
Halke se andhere main
Apna saath chodta apna saaya
Rang badalte rishtey aise
Girgit bhi soch main aaye
Seekhe yeh gun kahan se
Jiske liye log hamare gun gaaye
Rishtey halke hote gaye
Bhari hua sabka dil
Bandhan saare khote gaye
Suni hui zindagi ki mehfil
Andhere se dhaka mann
Gehri neend main insaan
Khoye raaste main hum
Huye khud se hum hairan
Khel khele bhagwan
Upar baithe muskuraye
Neeche machle insaan
Har mod par dagmagaye
Soche main akela chala
Dekhta na doosre nishan
Jab khushiyon ka mausam dhala
Tab yaad aaya bhagwan
Kose tab ram Rahim ko
Yaad dilata unko unka vada
Girun kahin, ya haar saamne ho
Tum rahoge saath sada
Bolta raha unse rooth kar
Ek hi nishan hai chalne ke
Bas mujhe haara jaankar
Fera mooh aur chal diye
Hanse bhagwan , khilkhilaye
Bole bhole zara jhuk ke to dekh
Wohi ek nishan hai mere charno ke
Kandhe pe mere baitha tu zara dekh !!
Hun main hamesha saath tere
Har pal aur Har mausam
Jahan dikhe pav ke nishan mere
Samjho nibhaya apna vachan
Aaj khushiyon ka taj hai
Kal dukh ka saaya hai
Itna soch na bande tu
Yeh sab moh maaya hai
Halki kashti ko dekhke
Dost ne hi usse dubaya hai
Na rishton main ulajh itna
Yeh sab moh maaya hai.
Aaj hai aage tu yaar
Peeche tere Haar ka saaya hai
Pare ho is haar jeet se
Yeh sab moh maaya hai
Hai yeh khel karmo ka
kismet se na paaya hai
Hisaab rakh le bas itna sa
Baaki sab moh maaya hai
Kya hun, kaun hun main
Kya hai meri pehchan
Kis khoj main uljha main
Kisse karta kheench tan
Khud se samjhauta karta
Hota kitna majboor
Khud ki ankhon main girta
Ja pahuncha bahut door
Bachpan ki woh masoomiyat
Kho si gayi Umar ke saath
Fisalti hui apni seerat
De baithi mujhko hi jawab
Raat din ke darmiyan faasle
Dhul gaye apne hi khwaishon se
Apni hi pehchan dhundte lamhe
Khud hi mit gaye apne hi hathon se
Kaam se ho ya naam se
Koi chota badha nahi hota
Aan se ho ya Shan se
Haar jeet ka faisla nahi hota
Zindagi main tu hai bada
To Main bhi kuch kam nahi
Tera jo kadd hai zyada
Chota to main bhi nahi
Issi dhara main gote khate
Aapas main ladte saare
Leke choti choti baatein
Tere mere main waqt guzare
Is rassi khench khel ka
Maza lete darshak saare
Matlab in tamashe ka
Kab samjhega mere pyare
Maan kitna chota sa shabd
Karta kitne khel
Abhi aur swabhi ke madhya
Kaisa ajeeb taal mel
Dono ke beech ki lakeer
Na dikhe na samajh aaye
Kahan kab ho jaye paar
Na josh ko hosh aaye
Le doobe bahut rishtey
Dono apni is ladai main
Is kheench taan main
Kya jeete tum kya haari main !
Yeh waqt theherta hi nahi
Paani jaise behta jaata
Kissi ki sunta hi nahi
Jo karna hai karta jaata
Khushi main yaad aata hai
Gehre gum main bhi
Baat sikhayi jo mujhe waqt ne
Ki yeh waqt theherta hi nahi
Pav rakho apne zameen par
Udte huye mann ko zara roko
Lagaam rakho apne sapno par
Kyunki yeh waqt theherta hi nahi
Acha waqt ho ya bura waqt
Aaya hai to chala hi jayega
Kissi ke chahne se na ruka waqt
Woh to guzar hi jayega
Tez barish main baithi
Sunti boondo ki awaz
Mann ke kone ki ghehrayi
Khayalon ki bheed ka agaaz
Logon ke andar ka andhera
Dhakta achai ki roshni
Is ladai main kya tera kya mera
Jo bhi jeete hai to dono ki haar hi
Khud main hai aatma vishwas
ya hai apne mann ka aham
Main hun sabse zyada khaas
Kaise toote yeh nadaan sa vaham
Chupa sakte apni galtiyon ko
Dhak ke banavati chaddar se
Par kaise Mita sakta in hisabon ko
Upar wale ki apni kitaab se
Ek hi zindagi mili keemti
Ek hi milegi sabko maut
6 fut ki hi kabar sabki
Raakh se uth kar ....
Anth hai rakh hi
Woh purane raaste
Woh tooti footi manzilen
Woh kaante zindagi ke
Aur woh muskurati hui main
Woh haare huye patte
Woh chooti hui dor
Woh amavas ki raaten
Aur woh ladti hui main
Woh bikhre huye rishtey
Woh fisalti hui dosti
Woh aankhon par pade parde
Aur sambhalti hui main
Haar jeet dekh ke
Har mod se ulajhte huye
Saanp seedi ke khel main
Kabhi Uthte kabhi girte huye
Zindagi ko jeeti hui main....
Moving its soldiers n knights
Different corners in different strikes
Go around those black and whites
Baby steps with ginger caution
Reminding us of the smallest risks
Camel racing to attack into obliques
Teaches us to have always 360 deg vision
Elephant showing crass solid strength
And the sudden movement sideway
Makes strong loyal people wonder
Is the the right way
Horse taking the small but flirty steps
Showing the speed and presence
Easy to adapt... keep ur head low
An exam that life also fails - and still ..... goes on
