Adhuri Kalpana

मैं,
मेरी ही एक कल्पना हूँ।
क़तरे परों से परवाज़ करता।
समंदर में बैठता, लहरों में उभरता।
हवाओं से बतियाता, आँधियों से लड़ता।
गिरता, संभलता हुआ सा एक काल्पनिक चरित्र
वास्तविकता से दूर, जीवन की आपाधापी से परे
जीवन की सिलवटों को
नये सिरे से सँवारता।
तुम मुझे, मुझमें ही न ढूँढ पाओगे......


-'Khayaal'

Ab karam Ho...

Ab 'Karam' ho ke ek Muddat huyi hai
dard-o-gham hans ke yun sehte sehte
gar masroof-e-jung yeh zamana na hota
Chashma-e-lahoo chaar-su na behte rehte
aankhein patthar hain ab to aur imtehaan na le
"Ya ILAAHI" har ek dil ko too gulshan kar de
har biyaabaan mein too NOOR ke kuch phool khila
apne honthon mein kuch jam si gayi hai yeh dua...
Ab Karam ho, Ab Karam ho yehi kehte kehte........

-"Khayaal"

Phir wohi sab kyon

Phir ek din guzra
Phir wohi raat dhali
Phir se kuch ashq bahe
Jab teri baat chali

'Na gavara' hona bhi mujhe
Itna 'na gavaar' na tha
Anmani 'haami' woh teri
Kar gayi kuch aise sawaal
Jawab they magar kya karte unhe tumse bayaan
Yeh woh moti nahi jo
Teri anguthiyo me sajte hain
Mere moti meri aankhon me reh ke hanste hain

Tum jo khush ho to maine bhi koshishe ki hain
Kya karoon gar bheed se dar lagta hai
Lagti hai bas to yeh 'Tanhayi' bhali....

Tum jo bas 'Khayaal' raho to achchha hai
Aur bhi gham hain zamaane mein.......

Imaan

Sookhe patte sa mera wajood
Reh reh kar kaamp uthta hai,
Apne baare me sochne ki fursat nahi milti
Dusro ke baare me sochna nahi chaahta.
Noto ki gaddiyaan dekhkar
Tabiyat machal jaati hai
Sharm aati thi kabhi
Ab wo bhi nahi aati hai
Noto ke bister pe leta
main bada khus rehta hoon
Apne milne walo se kehta hoon
Main 'IMAAN' hoon.

Ae Lakhnau

Ae Lakhnau, mere pyaare shaher
Agar tumhe alvida kahoon
To achambha na hoga
Khudparasti ki is duniya mein
Tum hamse door ho rahe ho,
Concrete ke ugte jungle me
Tum kahin kho rahe ho.
Woh haseen shaamein woh gulzaar ratein
Ab ek sapna hain bas
Aur tum bekal bebas
Hamse door hone ka gham
Apne kandho pe dho rahe ho.
Alvida Lakhnau, mere pyaare shaher
Tum hamse door ho rahe ho.

Socho Socho....

Aate Jaate
Hanste gaate
jo hona tha
waisa na ho
to phir kya ho
socho socho
apne baalon
ko tum nocho
padhne wale
kuch likh daalo
Geet ansune
tum bhi gaa lo
phir na jaane
waqt kab mile
door puraane
kar lo sab gile
Rang suhaane
kuch bhar daalo
is jeevan mein
hans lo gaa lo
kya jaane kya
kal kaisa ho
kadke hon yaa
kuch paisa ho
jaisa chaahei
sab waisa ho
yaa phir na ho
to phir kya ho
socho socho
dimag ki partein
zaraa kharoncho
aur phir keh do
jo man me ho
baarish keval
saawan mein ho
nahi zaroori
kya majboori
hai mausam ki
jalti boondein
dhoop hai geeli
os mili to
thodi pee li
isi sahaare
ye din guzaare
raatein kaati
mili jo khushiyaan
mill ke baati
tum bhi baanto
sab sukh apne
phir jo sapne
tumne dekhe
unse saari
bagiya mehke
aisa hoga
gar tum sun lo
baat ye meri
jo tum jaano
kahaa hamara
jo tum maano
to phir sab kuch
jaisa socha
sab waisa ho
ya phir na ho
to phir kya ho
socho socho....

Aaj kuch achcha hua

Aaj kuch na kuch achcha hua
mausam yun khila ke dil bhi bachcha hua
aaj kuch-na-kuch to achcha hua


Unse phir mile achaanak ek mod pe
ek kasam tooti, ek vada sachcha hua
aaj kuch-na-kuch to achcha hua


Itminaan mein they ke unko intezaar hai apna
unka itminaan dekha, dil ko gachcha hua
ab yehi sukoon hai chalo aaj kuch achcha hua...

Raat abhi baaki hai

Ae Muntazir-e-aatish-e-khursheed-e-jamaal
Raat abhi baaki hai raat abhi baaki hai.....
Yeh Sher likhe huye ek arsa hua aur na jaane kitna arsa yeh sher utna hi asardaar rahega... jab tak woh subah na aa jaaye jiska intezaar hai hamein... wo subah jab ham aazaadi se apne aazaad hone ka jashn mana sakein... ohhh azaad hona abhi to ek khayaal hai bas...
