Badlapur

Main guzra aaj phir teri gali se, aur kuchh tanha sa laga
shaayad ab wahaan tanhai rehti hai,
Mili kuchh mehak teri baaton ki bhi jo zinda hain wahaan,
magar aaj unmen ruswai si rehti hai..

Wo kachchi mitti ki deewaren jihne taap kar tera deedar hua karta tha
wo badal gayin maidan mein wahaan ek chaarpai si rehti hai...
Zara bhi magar nahin badla tere ghar ka wo aangan
teri tarah wahaan bhi bewafai si rehti hai,
Guzaari thi kai tanha raaten zahan tere intezaar mein roshni
aaj wahaan andheron ki ek razai rehti hai..
Ye sirf khayaal nahin hain ye mere dil ke tukde hain
aaj yahaan mere toote hue sapnon ka baazar bhi laga hai
Khiraddar aate hain aur jaate hain khaali haath
bhare baazaaar mein bhi meri dukaan karzaai si rehti hai
Tu hi bata de mujhe e maula ke ye dukaan kahaan chalegi
aaj tak jahaan bhi kholi wahaan udhaar badhta raha hai
mere asool badal de ya ye duniya badal de
Warna mujhe lagega ke tu sirf kitaabon mein chhupa hai
aur bahaar bas teri parchhai si rehti hai..

Backbiting

Tha akela hai akela aur akele jaana hai, 

phir bhi na jaane kyun log doosron ki baat karte hain?

था अकेला, है अकेला और अकेले जाना है,
फिर भी ना जाने क्यूँ लोग दूसरों की बात करते हैं?

Mind or Heart?

Diya usne bhi aaj suboot apni begunahi ka,
aaj tak jisko hum dushman samajhte rahe,
ye mera dil hi tha jo hamesha uska saath deta tha,
aur ek hum the ke deemag ki baat sunte rahe..!!

दिया उसने भी आज सुबूत अपनी बेगुनही का,
आज तक जिसको हम दुश्मन समझते रहे,
ये मेरा दिल ही था जो हमेशा उसका साथ देता था,
और एक हम थे के दीमाग की बात सुनते रहे..!!

Phir se ud chala

Baarishen, baarishon mein parindey, parindon ke baat karte hain
yun to bezubaan hain hamare liye magar kuch lukteyaat karte hain
samajh jaana chahta hun ke ye bolte kya hain
kya ye teri or meri baat karte hain...??

kabhi sochta hun pakdun inko, kabhi sochta hun yunhi udne do
ye udne se pehle mujhe kyun nazar-andaaz karte hain
khair chhodo ye parinde kya samjhenge hamen, hum insaan hain
hum khud ko khud hi nahin samajh paaye, to parindey kya mukaam rakhte hain..??

Answer from an old man to my lines:

Ye parindey hain, ye na saamaan aur na zubaan rakhte hain
ye panchhi wo hain jo bas ek hi zubaan rakhte hain
jo na kabhi badli hai, ye wo udaan rakhte hain
ye sab ek jhundd mein udte hain aur apno ka khayaal rakhte hain..

Aprichit

Tujhse aaj tak main aprichit hun zindagi, 

na tune mujhse kabhi baat ki aur na maine tujhe kabhi jaana.

In search of..

Bekhauff koi raasta to chalne ke liye de,
Tarkeeb koi mujhe meri bebasi se nikalne ke liye de,
Yun to main toofaan ko bhi maat de sakta hun,
Mujhe taakat koi khud se ladne ke liye de..

Adhoora

Adhoora sa main ahoore se khyaal mere
aur shaayad main bhi adhoora hun..
Ye waqt bhi adhoora ye duniya bhi adhoori
aur shayad main bhi adhoora hun..

wo poora tha to chala gaya, wo adhoora hai to zinda hai
kuchh poora hua to khatam hoga
isi khayal se main shayad adhoora hun...

adhoore raaz jo khule nahin ab tak,
abhoore lamhne jo poore na hue
abhoori har shaam jo doob na paayi
aur adhoore tum bhi ho jo mil na paaye
aur shaayada tumhare bina, main bhi adhoora hun..
