Hadd

Suna hai mazaak ki bhi ek hadd hoti hai

Koi khuda ko bhi jaakar ye samjhaye

Wo jab bhi mazaak karta hai

saari haden paar kar deta hai...

Kaun Bada Hai??

Tang si gali hai, magar bahut se darwaazon ko khulne ka rasta deti hai

Roz jaane kitne log is shortcut ka sahara lekar apna waqt bachaate hain

Chhota chhota judkar bada banta hai, chhota hokar hi bada banta hai

Ghar chhota ho ya bada, asmaan har ghar ki chhat se utna hi dikhta hai

Sabhi chaaton se udne waali patangen ek hi assmaan mein tairati hain

In chhoti-chhoti aankhon se bhi hum itni duniya dekh lete hain

Aur is chhote se dil mein hum, kitni yaaden samet lete hain

Chhoti-chhoti yaadon mein hamari duniya samai hai

Kai chhote chhote bachon ne bahut kuchh kar dikhaya hai

Unse bhi chhoti dawa ki goliyon ne, kai logon ko marne se bachaya hai

Khuda ne hi jab insaan ko duniya mein bhejne par itna chhota banaya hai

Phir kyon insaan doosron ko chhota aur khudko bada kehta hai..?

Chhat (The Roof)

Aaj chadha hun chhat par barson baad, laga maili si chhat hai

Kadmon ke bhi nishaan rakhti hai, bahut gehri chhat hai

kya ye wahi tooti hui dor ka tukda hai jo buni thi padosi ki patang kaatne ke liye

gir pada the dheel dete dete jispe kya ye wahi bargat hai..?

saamne waali thodi saaf hai magar sooni si chhat hai..

is chhat se us chhat ka faasla bahut kamm tha kabhi

kai baar laanghi thi ye sarhad bina visa ke kisi ne nahin roka tha

Wo podha jo giraata tha roz phool is taraf, uska jhukaav aaj doosri chhat hai

suna hai wo shaqs jo khelta tha cricket ispe, wo chal basa hai kuchh dino pehle

bhala sa dikhta tha jaane kyon ruksat hua, shaayad khooni si chhat hai.

Day Night

Andhera keh raha hai ujaale se

ke roshni kar mujhe sone de

uspe ujaala bola neend se uthkar

ke tham ja abhi, zara subaha hone de

Pehli Ghazal

Maana ke hua hun naadaan, mujhe naadaan hi rehne do

Chhalkta hun har mehfil mein, mujhe jaam hi rehne do

Bahut waqt se kuchh kehne ki firaak mein tha 

mujhe aaj apni pehli ghazal kehne do

Bahut der sambhaala hai nazar karta hun

bahut der mein sambhala hun arz karta hun

Aaj tak beh kar hi paar lagta aaya hun

na do kashti ka sahara mujhe behne do

mujhe aaj apni pehli ghazal kehne do

Majbooriyon ne kiya mazboor to mazdoori kar li

sapnon ne kiya apnon se door to doori rakhli

khud ko khud hi mein khokar paayi hai manzil maine

mujhe khud ke thoda nazdeek rehne do

mujhe aaj apni pehli ghazal kehne do

Kisi ko paas rakha hai kisi ko door rakha hai

Jisko bhi magar rakha hai khuda ne bahut mehfooz rakha hai

har kisi ko khabar nahin magar main jaanta hun khuda ko

Sab ke andar chhupa hai, ise andar hi rehne do

Mujhe tum aaj apni pehli ghazal kehne do..

Woh Bachpan

kya bachpan yaad hai tumhen?

wo badhapann yaad hai tumhen?

wo khud ek roti khakar soti thi

magar wo aakhri roti charon mein se kon khayega

wo ladakpan yaad hai tumhen??

Wo chulhe yaad hain tumhen?

roz tandoor sazta tha saamne waali massi ke ghar mein

mohalle ki sabhi aurten aakar pyaaz se bhare namkeen rot sekti thi

hum luka chhupi khelte hua sabse ek ek chura liya karte the

wo dushman bhi kya yaad hai tumhen?

roz aata tha, aai se ladta tha

sab kamzor ghade toot jaate the magar kuchh kar nahin paate the

sab kadwaahat dil mein liye so nahin paate the

wo baithak yaad hai tumhen??

aai kuchh dino baad gobber ki lipaai karti thi

ac se bhi thandi rehti thi, wo til waala pankha use hawa deta tha

Wo junoon bhi bhoole nahi ho jaanta hun

laiyee se kaagaz ke lifaafe banana

tees ki gatthi pack kar bikwaana

wo mera aur Rikki ka laale ki dukaan par jaana..

aur comics se bhi hamen khoob pyaar tha

ek table rakha tha baithak ke peechle chhor par

karobaar bhi khoob chala tha magar

bahut se ghar chhaane the har dagar..

bahut se kisse hain brother

kishton mein hi likh sakta hun ye safar

jaayaz nahin lagta inka ek kahaani mein zikar

logn ko karne do sabar..tc

Uljhan

Kabhi saahas ke kadam to kabhi darr ke khatam

kabhi is baat se kabhi us se ghutan

kudrat ke saamne kudrat pe sitam

aajiwan maut aur, maut pe bhi ghaman

beraag zindagi, zindagi uljhan

seena choda magar dil daftann

cheerti nigaahen anjjuman

kaafir akela, raaste par chaman

naadan tinka, sundarr sa sitam

ghor kaali raat mein ek karam

lauta ghar ko sankatan

jism roo-b-roo, rooh kafan.
