Kashmakash

khwaab aankhon mein sajte hain fir bikhar jaate hain
din aur raat bas haan aur naa mein guzar jaate hain

kai kai baar sochaa ki jaakar mil len unse hum magar
kadam hamaare hain jo uth kar bhi thahar jaate hain

umeed to hai ki woh fir se apnaa lenge humein, magar
kahin thukraa naa den is baat ko soch dar jaate hain


har raat waadaa karte hain khudse ki milenge unse kal
aur har subhah hum apne hi waadon se mukar jaate hain

pankh lagaakar armaa machalte to hain dil mein hamaare
magar kuch hi der mein woh zameen par utar jaate hain

naa koshish woh karte hain, naa koshish hum karte hain
galti qubool karne mein hi aksar beet umar jaate hain

sochte hain kabhi to aayegi khushi hamaare paas bhi
aur ghum bhari zindagi mein aur ghum bhar jaate hain

kyaa sahi hai, kyaa galat hai bas is kashmakash mein
hum khud ko unse aur bhi zyaadaa duur kar jaate hain

Tum

prem ki koi kahaani ho tum
kisi shaayar ki jawaani ho tum
tum hi jalaane waali aag ho
baarishon kaa paani ho tum

tum hi to mere har khwaab ho
tum har sawaal kaa jawaab ho
mohabbat ki nishaani ho tum
tum hi to khiltaa ghulaab ho

tum bin mile naa chainaa
tum ko hai dhunde nainaa
tum bin naa guzre din aur
tum bin naa beete rainaa

khiltaa huwaa kamal ho tum
khoobsurat saa koi pal ho tum
isse zyaadaa kya taarif karun
poori si koi ghazal ho tum

ek chhoti si kahaani hai, use bas apnaa naam de do
aaghaaz main kar chukaa hoon, tum bas anjaam de do

humein deewaanaa banaane ko naa koi kasar baaki rahaa
teri do aankhein rahi, sirf unhi kaa asar baaki rahaa

bhulaa to dete zarur tujhe dekhne ke baad hi hum magar
asar haseen shaam ki laali kaa, raat bhar baaki rahaa

aaj tum meri adhuri kahaani sun lo
meri aankhon kaa tum paani sun lo
jo sukhaa huwaa ghulaab rakha hai
woh mohabbat ki thi nishaani sun lo


deewaaron sangh hui baatein sun lo
khaamosh si aaj woh raatein sun lo
kuch meethi hain, kuch khatti hain
kyaa kyaa mili saugaatein sun lo

Saahil pe thahar jaaungaa

ghum kaa maaraa hoon... jaane kidhar jaaungaa
jo chali thandi hawaa... saath guzar jaaungaa

kaunsi kashti mein hoon baithaa... kyaa pataa
jo lage thik jagah.. main wahin utar jaaungaa

roz bantaa hoon main.... roz toot jaataa hoon
lahar hoon... saahil pe jaake bikhar jaaungaa

likhtaa hoon roz kai.. geet apne dard ke main
jab ruki saans tab.. main bhi thahar jaaungaa

jee rahaa hoon.. shaayad tumhe main yaad nahi
jab karoge yaad tum. tab main to mar jaaungaa

 

kehte hain humse humein bhulaa dijiye
yaa fir humein paas apne bulaa lijiye

aap aake humein seene se lagaa lijiye
yun rehke dur dur ab naa sazaa dijiye

tanhaa si zindagi kaa yeh ajab hi afsaanaa hai
meri mohabbat hai, isey mujhe hi nibhaanaa hai

woh hamaari pehli mohabbat hai, jaanti hai woh
uske liye to yeh bas uska ek aur deewaanaa hai

hain dil jo lagaa baithe hum unse anjaane mein
meri naadaani hai, aur mujhe hi samjhaanaa hai

Achchaa thaa

mohabaat kaa woh bhi ek afsaanaa achcha thaa
barbaad huwaa ek aur deewaanaa, achchaa thaa

hum unko samjhaate bhi kaise kuch jinke liye
hum hi bas bure the aur zamaanaa achchaa thaa

waadaa kiyaa thaa umra bhar saath nibhaane kaa
waadon se woh unkaa mukar jaanaa achchaa thaa

tohfe mein hamaare hi likhe huwe khat de gaye
hamaare liye unkaa woh nazraanaa achchaa thaa

apne ghar waalo ko manaa nahi paayi hoon main
dil tod jaane kaa unkaa bahaanaa achchaa thaa

jaate huwe keh gayi khush rehnaa zindagi bhar
dil todkar unkaa aisaa keh jaanaa achchaa thaa

us din aakhri baar dekhaa thaa unhe kareeb se
jaate huwe woh unkaa muskuraanaa achchaa thaa

main kaagaz ke panno par likhaa woh afsaanaa hoon
raah par chaltaa har shaqs mudke dekhtaa zarur hai

khwaabon mein tujh sangh mulaaquaatein kar loon
bheegi hui baarishon se main ab baatein kar loon
tere chehre ko apni aankhon mein sajaa loon main
tujhse hi khoobsootrat main apni raatein kar loon

Kyun ladkhadaaun main

aankhein churaaun yaa aankhein milaaun main
yaa fir tumhein dekhkar bas muskuraaun main

dil to kehtaa hai ki sab kuch keh dun tumse
magar saamne tum raho to bas ghabraaun main

yeh kaisi bekaraari hai is dil ki bataao naa
seedhe raaston par bhi kyun ladkhadaaun main

yun to bante nahi geet kai kai din tak magar
dekh loon tumhe to kai geet gungunaaun main

hothon tak le aaun woh baat jo hai dil mein
yaa aaj bhi kuch kahe binaa laut jaaun main

dil ki saari baatein aaj aankhon ko keh lene do
do pal hi sahi humein khwaabon mein reh lene do

dil ki har baat apni hawaaon mein ghol di maine
aaj in hawaaon ko bas apne kareeb se beh lene do

Khoobsoorat saa koi jahaan de de

muskuraahat ko koi khoi hui pehchaan de de
kareebi rishton mein fir se koi jaan de de

kuch lamhein hi to chaahiye saath bitaane ko
kaun kehtaa hai kisi ke liye koi jaan de de

agar paison se khushi kharidi jaa sake to
har gali mein khushiyon ki ek dukaan de de

jahaan rishton mein koi karwaahat hi naa ho
humein aisaa ek khoobsoorat saa jahaan de de

jiski sachche mann se hum poojaa kar saken
humein apno mein hi aisaa koi bhagwaan de de

insaaniyat ki kami nahi hai is zamaane mein
bas koi is duniyaa ko do chaar insaan de de

Kaun yeh kaam karne detaa hai

bejaan geeton mein bhalaa kaun jaan bharne detaa hai
woh ek teraa chehraa hai jo yeh kaam karne detaa hai

itni taazgi hai mohabbat mein ki kyaa bataayein hum
sukhey gulaabon ko bhi kahaan woh bikharne detaa hai

chhukar aai hai jo hawaa teri saanson ki khushboo ko
jaane kaun un hawaaon ko yahaan se guzarne detaa hai

koshish bahut karte hain ki rok len dil ko hum apne
dil yeh kahaan khudko seene mein thaharne detaa hai

maikhaane mein jaakar ghanto baithke bhi dekh liyaa
teraa chehraa kahaan tere nashe ko utarne detaa hai

surur mohabbat kaa kuch aisaa hai kyaa bataayen hum
naa woh jeene detaa hai, naa humein marne detaa hai

Umar beet gayi tere deedaar ke liye

naa kar dillagi, ki umar beet gayi tere deedaar ke liye
do pal hi sahi, saamne to aa apne deewaane yaar ke liye

haalat hamaari aisi hai ki tu nazar aajaaye bas ek baar
fir to hum tayyar hain zindagi bhar ke intezaar ke liye

rog aisaa lagaa hai ishq kaa ki haalat sudharti hi nahi
jaantaa hoon main tu hi bas dawaa hai is bimaar ke liye

kaise yakeen dilaaun tujhe ki tu hi zindagi hai hamaari
aaj tu hi bataa de kyaa karun main tere aetbaar ke liye

tu muskuraa ke haan keh de bas ek baar, sach kehte hain
hadd se bhi guzar jaayegaa 'Hriday' tere pyaar ke liye

aa bhi jaa saamne tu, kyun tadpaa rahi hai humein itnaa
deedaar dede humein ab deewaane is dil ke qaraar ke liye

Main hosh mein aaun kaise

nashili aankhon se main ab dur jaaun kaise
tere chehre se nazar ab main hataaun kaise

nashaa chadhaa hai dheere dheere teraa ab
tu hi bataa ab main hosh mein aaun kaise

jaanaa hai tujhse duur yeh bhi jaante hain
apne is paagal dil ko main samjhaaun kaise

likha thaa tune raat geeley labon se apne
mehfil mein woh ghazal main sunaaun kaise

zulfon ke ghere mein guzri hai raat saari
teri bikhri laton ko main bhulaaun kaise

apni jo haalat hai woh bhi hum jaante hain
magar yeh baat kisi ko main bataaun kaise

Koi rehtaa thaa us kamre mein

deewaar par tangi puraani ghadi ruk gayi hai
har subah ab koi bhi jagaataa nahi hai humein

panchhiyon ki aawaaz kaano tak pahunchti nahi
naa hi doodhwaalaa darwaazaa khatkhataataa hai

akhbaar kaa dher jam gayaa hai kamre ke aage
khidki ke sheeshon par dhul ki moti parat hai
suraj bhi har subah nikalkar doob jaataa hai
chaand ki roshni pahuchti nahi mere kamre tak

ab achcha nahi lagtaa humein milnaa kisi se
khush hain hum apne is band kamre main tanhaa
logo ne bhi shaayad bhulaa diyaa hogaa humein
tabhi kehte hain 'koi rehta thaa us kamre mein'

Tanhaai

meri tanhaai mein bas mere kadmon ki aahat hai
kuch deewaarein hain, unpe kuch tasveerein hai

hawaa se kuch tasveerein tedi ho gayi hain
aur kuch par dhuul ki parat si jam gayi hai
kuch haseen chehre chhip gaye hain dhuul mein
chalo achchaa hai hum hosh mein to hain
warnaa woh chehre fir madhosh kar denge humein
aur humein mohabbat ho jaayegi... fir se...

kuch kaagaz ke tukde hain meri sandook mein
unmein naam likhaa thaa kisi kaa kabhi humne
magar bas naam hi likh paaye they hum..
aur kuch likhne ki koshish hi nahi ki kabhi
ek naam hi to thaa hamaare jeewan mein unkaa
aur isse zyaadaa kuch bhi nahi thaa rishta unse

jaane kitne hi ghazal, adhure reh gaye hain
alfaaz bahut jode magar jud paaye nahi kabhi
kabhi dil ne saath nahi diyaa to kabhi dhadkan ne
kabhi saath milaa dono kaa to hum hi gum rahe
aaj baithe hain kaagaz ke kuch kore panne leke
likhne apni hi kahaani.. apni tanhaayi hum...
magar likhen bhi to kyaa likhen...

meri tanhaai mein bas mere kadmon ki aahat hai
kuch deewaarein hain, unpe kuch tasveerein hai

Jeete jaanaa hai

zindaa rehnaa bhi badi ajeeb aadat hai
naa ho koi maqsad fir bhi zinda rehnaa hai
roz subah uthkar, jism kaa bojhaa leke
kamzor kadmo ko chalte jaanaa hai
haan inhi kadmo ko zindagi sambhaalnaa hai

badi aam si baat hai ki hum jeete hain
saansein hain apne aap chalti jaati hain
dhadkane naa chaaho tab bhi chalti hai
yeh adat hai jise roz nibhaanaa hai
naa chaahte huwe bhi humein jeete jaanaa hai

Zulfein Teri

naseeb waali hain teri zulfein
jo tere chehre ko chhuu aati hain
bebaak, bekhauff....
binaa teri izaazat ke
mehsoos kar aati hai gaalon ki narmi ko
chhuu aati hain teri saanson ki garmi ko

geele se labon par tere kabhi kabhi
bahut der tak thahar jaati hain woh
hum bas khwaahish mein gulaabi hothon ke
andar hi andar jalte rehte hain...
har pal.. har lamhaa....

bahut jalte hain hum teri zulfon se
jo binaa tujhse poochhe...
tujhse mohabbat kar aati hain...
aur tu bhi har baar... sharmaake...
aankhein jhukaake... mann hi mann...
khush ho jaati hai....

dheere se kabhi tu agar
unhe hataati bhi hai chehre se....
woh fir se aake tere chehre ko
baahon mein bhar leti hain...
bahut jalte hain hum teri zulfon se
badi naseeb waali hain zulfein teri..

Tumhaaraa hi deewaanaa hogaa

par... pyaar to hai naa ab bhi
yaad aataa hoon naa main ab bhi
jab bhi aankhein band karti ho
nazar aataa hoon naa main ab bhi

to fir tum khud hi kaho naa
kyaa yeh mohabbat nahi hai?
har saans ke saath yaad aanaa
kyaa yeh chaahat nahi hai

maanaa ki hamaari majboori thi
kismat mein hamari doori thi
mohabbat to kee humne magar
kahaani hamaari adhoori thi

kyaa jeene ke liye woh yaad kaafi nahi
hamaari woh do chaar mulaaquaat kaafi nahi
jaante ho naa kai sapne aate hain raat mein
pooraa har sapnaa ho... ek raat kaafi nahi


thik usi tarhaa... ek janam kaafi nahi..

agle janam mein humein fir aanaa hogaa
aakar humein fir saath nibhaanaa hogaa
kasak koi chaahe ho naa ho dil mein tumhaare
'Hriday' tab bhi tumhaaraa hi deewaanaa hogaa

Kabhi dil naa lagaayegaa

na lagaao dil in geeton se ki kuch bhi naa mil paayegaa
ek tanhaa ki kahaani hai, tumhe bhi tanhaa kar jaayegaa
mehsoos karne ki koshish karoge mere in geeton ko kabhi
dard ke is samundar mein tumhe bas dard hi nazar aayegaa

yahaan bas kaantaa hai aur jaltaa huwaa saa sholaa hai
agar kareeb aaoge to yeh zakhmi tumhe bhi kar jaayegaa
dard ki to puraani aadat hai, har kisi ko dard dene ki
degaa tumhe bhi dard, fir tumhaare haal pe muskuraayegaa

'Hriday' bhi kabhi aahsiq thaa, aashiqui woh kartaa thaa
sochaa thaa aashiqui ke naam par woh jaan tak de jaayegaa
magar uske dil ke toot jaane par, kasam usne khaa li fir
'Kisi haseen chehre se fir kabhi dil naa woh lagaayegaa'

Kyun hum pighalte hain

jaani pehchaani raahon par hum jaane kyun fisalte hain
khud hi girte hain hum aur kabhi khud hi sambhalte hain
karte hain koshish har ehsaas ko qaid kar len dil mein
unhe jitnaa bhi roken woh aur bhi zyaadaa machalte hain

mud mud ke dekhte hain hum unke ghar ki khuli khidki ko
jab bhi kabhi hum unki galiyon se ho kar nikalte hain
baahon mein bhar len unhein yaa honthon se chhuu len hum
kaise kaise khayaal aajkal hamaare dil mein palte hain

lat yeh kyaa lagi humein ki hum neendon mein chalte hain
sard si hawaaon mein bhi aajkal kyun hum pighalte hain
kyaa yeh mohabbat hai yaa hai bas deewaanaapan hamaaraa
karte hain woh hanske baat kisise to hum bas jalte hai

Nashaa mohabbat kaa

aksar kitaab ke panno ko palat_taa jaataa hoon main
fir tere diye ghulaab ko dekh muskuraataa hoon main

kehnaa chaahtaa hoon bahut si baatein sabhi se magar
zaalim zamaane se bhi to bahut ghabraataa hoon main

kabhi zameen pe pade dhool ko seene se lagaataa hoon
kabhi aasmaan ko chhune ko pankh failaataa hoon main

kaisi hai bechaini is dil ki main samajh paataa nahi
inhi uljhano mein aur ulajhtaa chalaa jaataa hoon main

yun to aadat thi hi nahi kisi nashe ki mujhe aaj tak
mohabbat ke nashe mein hi ab jhoomtaa jaataa hoon main
