Inspiration

Meri yaadon ka safar kuchh lamba hai, chhote-chhote khawaab likh raha hoon

kuchh haseen sawaalon ke main jawaab likh raha hoon

pechida zindagi hai paicheeda logon se judi hai

apni hi ghazal ke main aalap likh raha hoon.

shaam hote hi jaise mere dil ke taar bajne lagte hain

main youtube kholkar gulzaar sun raha hoon

apni hi aawaaz lagti hai aur apne hi kisse hote hain

inhi ko sunkar main baar-baar likh raha hoon

Development or destruction???

Dhalti umr ke akelepan mein wo kisse bhi khoob yaad aate hain

jab wo mere siraahne paani ka glaas rakhna nahin bhoolti thi

bijli rahe ya na rahe magar sar pe har waqt wo pankkha jhoolti thi

sukoon ki neend thi wo ikk baar girte the bistar pe

to phir subaha pehli baang se hi neend khulti thi

aankhen khulti thi aur band ho jaati thi, 

kuchh dhundla dhundla sa shuru mein nazar aata tha

zor se ubaasi lete hue wo apni aakhen ragadkar dhundlapan hata dena

jaane kaise wo jaan jaati thi sab aur chai ki pyaale ke saath saamne hoti thi

hum haath pakadkar paas kheechte the aur wo kookar ki seeti sunkar bhaag jaati thi

chai peete hi gusalkhane mein aise dhakka diya jaata tha

jaise hum barson se kabhi nahaaye na hon

Naahaate waqt bhi magar woh aawaz thamti nahin thi

pata nahin sab kaam wo kaise itni tezi se poora karti thi

aaj kal ki shayaad machines bhi na kar paayen

kapde istari, khana tayaar, aur hum khane ko tayaar

us khane mein bhi kuchh alag baat thi kya bayaan karen

Ek katori daliya, ek mein sookhi sabji, ek mein daal, thaali mein chaawal

aur garma garam roti par tairta hua wo desi ghee 

aur ek bada sa gilaas lassi se bhara hua

aaj ke naujawaan agar ye sab kha len to 2 din tak bhook na lage :)

Ek school mein teacher tha main drawing ka

meri kaksha ke sab bache ulte seedhe chitra banate the

aur main unhen theek karta rehta tha

Aaj kal suna hai sab utle seedhe chitra onnche daamon par beche jaate hain

us waqt ke agar 4-5 bhi sambhaal kar rakhta to shayad main bhi dhani hota :)

Ek ladka magar hoshiyaar tha 'Rahul' naam tha uska

khoob achhi achhi buildingon ke chitra banata tha

suna hai aaj London mein architect hai

Mila tha ikk baar aaya tha mujhe school mein milne

apna ek visiting card dekar gaya hai

keh raha tha ke is school ki jagah ab mall ban raha hai

jiska project wahi handle kar raha hai

Naya Din

Roz nikalte hue ghar se office ki taraf bas yahi baat sochta hun

Aaj naya din hoga, aaj naya kaam hoga, nayi raat hogi

din guzar jaata hai jaise kuchh palon mein, 

shaam hote hi laptop,charger, bag mein pack kar 

ghar ki taraf rawana hota hun

Raasta bhi wahi hai jaane ka roz jo tai karta hun

Ik taraf kate hue bakre latke hain, zinda chicken ke pinjron ke saath

wo zinda chicken bhi shaam ko alag alag gharon mein parosa jayega

koi ise roti ke saath koi daaroo ke saath chabayega

daayin taraf sabjiyon ke thele lage hote hain

chilla-chilla kar jo har aane jaane waale ko daraate hain

jo jiski awaaz se darta hai, wahi se saaman dharta hai

thodi door jaakar daahine haath mein kuchh log fuits bechne ke liye baithe hain

wo chillate nahin hain, magar daam poochhne par aadhe se jyada log

bina baat kiye aage nikal jaate hain

kuchh bache maile kapde pehne hue apni maa ka pallu khech kar

unhen kharidne ki zidd karte hain

magar wo majboor maa sab ansuna kar deti hai

in sab se nikalne ke baad ek mod hai daayin taraf

mudte hi ek taraf chhota sa mandir, us badbudaar jahag ke theek bagal mein

jahaan sadak ki doosri taraf rehne waale log, apna kooda karkat fenkte hain

dekhkar ajeeb lagta hai, wahin aage chalne par daayin taraf jaati hui

dagar pakadta hun, ek basti hai wahaan log use govindpuri ka naam dete hain

paar karne par ek red light hain zahaan roz jaam rehta hai

har kisi ko jaldi hoti hai ghar pahunchne ki

magar nahin chahta ke koi doosre pahunch paaye

is khalbali mein wo bas ghus jaate hain, kuchh der doosron ko sataate hain

main bhi kisi tareeke se wo janjaal ghera paar karta hun

phir aage ek chhoti si market hai

kai duakaane hain magar, kone ke theke par sabse jyada bheed rehti hai

ek dossre ke pair par pair rakhkar jahaan kahridne mein bhi jaddojahad hoti hai

kuchh patli galiyon ka shorcut leta hua main nikalta hun doorse chhor par

raaste mein ek barber, ek dhaba aur kuchh chemist ki dukaane padti hain

kuchh anjaan chehre pehchaan leta hun jo roz dikhte hain

doorse chhor ki sadak seedha mere ghar pe khatm hoti hai

neeche kariyaane ke dukaan hai to jaane se pehle biwi se phone pe poochh leta hun

ki ghar mein doodh aur dahi to rakha hai na, nahin hota to le jaata hun

is tarah wo teen maale ki seedhiyan chadhne ke baad main apne ghar pahunchta hun

yehi roz naya din hai, raat ki baad phir bataunga, warna itna kuchh ek saath 

padhne mein aapko bahut mehnat lagegi

waise bhi TV par har serial episodes mein hi aate hain

phir milenge dosotn agle episode mein raat ke safar ke liye, gud bye - VK

I, Me aur Main

Yahi baat main peechhle kai din se soch raha hun

ke khoya kuchh mere andar hi hai, 

aur main use baahar dhoond raha hun

Bebasi agar hai mujhme to khud ki hi den hai

Aur main duniya ko koss raha hun

Mujhe lagta tha ke shaayad main jeet kar aaya hun

magar ab jaana ke khudki haar par hi main

taali thok raha hun 

Doosre se kahi kai baaten meri zindagi ka sach ban chuki hain

isiliye ab har baat main khud se hi kar raha hun

khud ko khud se behtar samajhne waala shayad main hi bacha hun

main phir kyon doosron se umeed rakhta hun

Aur mera sach bhi sirf mujhe hi pata hai

duniya ke saamne shaayad main bas jhooth rach raha hun

khuda bhi shaayad nahin jaan paaya hoga mujhe ab tak

main khud ki hi khoz mein aaj tak bhatak raha hun

Zindagi yun hui basar tanha

Zindagi ab main kuchh is tarah se jee raha hun

ke jaane anjaane mein jo kuchh peechhe chhoota ya toota hai

Use ikattha kar zod raha hun aur sil raha hun

aesa nahin hai ke sab kuchh poorana rakha hai mere paas

haal hi mein main kuchh naye navele chehron se bhi mil raha hun

Kai baar lagta hai ke badi door nikal aaya hun main khud se

aur kabhi lagta hai ke aaj hi main badru se mil raha hun

badi ajeeb se khayaal rehte hain mere mann mein

kai baar likhkar nikaal deta hun, kai baar peekar jhel raha hun

Meri zindagi ki daastan hi kuchh aise hai jo main kuchh panktiyon mein bayaan anhin kar paaunga

tukda tukda jiya hun tukda tukda hi likh raha hun

Wo dhai Saal

zindagi bhar mujhe yaad rahenge ye dhai saal,

waqt guzra jaise hawa guzarti hai paas se

zindagi kuchh aise bikhari jaise tooti hui koi kaach ki bottle

mat poocho kaise guzaare wo lamhen, poochh na paaye kabhi khud ka haal..

yaad rahenge mujhe ye dhaai saal...

bewaqt rukaawaten, berukhi ka mausam aur bezubaan raaten

koi nahin paas, hum dono bhi jaise zinda laashen

bahut garze aur barse ek doosre par, bahut roye aur chillaaye

baaten bani, baaten bigadieen, zindagi chali behar haal,

mat poocho kaise guzre wo dhai saal..

Thi umeeden bhi jo jindagi se wo toot gayin

jo sapne sajaye sab choor ho chuke the,

hum paas bhi the aur door bhi the

samajah nahin paaye the ye zidagi ka asali rrop hai ya janjaal,

shukr hai ke beete wo dhai saal..

jahaan gaye tamaashe hue, jahaan na gaye wahaan bhi bure

itna sochne ki taaqat bhi nahin thi, na deemaag par zor daala

bas ek doosre ka haath thaam aur kood gaye

aaj baahar nikale kitni mushakkat se, aaj mile hain gulzar,

tujhse hi seekhi maine zindagi, tune mujhse jeena

ab aae koi bhi saamne mai ka laal..

bahut ajeeb the magar zindagi ka raaz bata gaye wo dhai saal...

Daal aur kankkar

khate khaate aaj meri daal se kankkar nikla

mujhe laga ke uski nigaah kuchh kamzor ho gayi hai

phir mere bete ne mujhe bataya ke kal shaam se usne kuchh nahin khaya

aur kal se wo ro rahi hai

maine wazah poochhi to boli ke ab main use waqt nahin deta

saara din likhta rehta hun, use pyaar nahin karta

sunkar hasa bhi aur achha bhi laga is umr mein bhi pyaar barkaraar hai

Phir samjhaya use ke main use ab bahut achhe se samajh paaya hun

uske liye hi likh raha hun, usi ki wazah se likh paya hun

bola ke ye kisse hamari hi zindagi se joode hain

jo bhi maine likhe hain, jab kahin jaaunga to tumhen dekar jaunga

ise padhkar tumhen lagega ke main saath hun

sunkar uska mann thoda shaant hua

use apne haath se khana khilaakar mein phir se likhne laga hun

ab wo chinta mukt apne kaam mein masroof hai

ab main bedhark chain ki neend so sakta hun
