Hunar...

Main dam bhi lunga koyi saaya nazar to aa jaaye,
Hai kitni door ab manzil khabar to aa jaaye.

Abhi aaghaaz hai to aagahi se kya darna,
Zara raftaar mein mera safar to aa jaaye.

Main sunaaunga kisi din tumhe apna kissa,
Hai intezaar lafzon mein asar to aa jaaye.

Hai woh quvvat ke main jeet hi lunga duniya,
Dilon ko jeetne ka bas hunar to aa jaaye...

Bahaar aane taq....

देखा है मैंने दश्त में भी बहार आते हुए,
दर्द के मारे हुओं को करार पाते हुए।
एक मुझी पर क्यों न होता है मेहरबान ख़ुदा,
देखा तिफ्लों को भी दरिया के पार जाते हुए।

है कमी मुझमें या कि है कमी ज़माने में,

पेश आती है मुश्क़िलें क्यों घर बनाने में,
गूँजते हैँ यही सवाल इस वीराने में,
मुझसे दूर जाते हुए कुछ मेरे क़रीब आते हुए।

ऐ दोस्तों, मुझको न तुम दीवाना कहो,
ये सवाल आम है इसको तो न अंजाना कहो,
इसे बस मेरा नहीं, अपना भी अफ़साना कहो,
हंसोगे कब तक दिल में मुश्किलें छुपाते हुए।

मैंने देखा है दश्त में भी बहार आते हुए...

Mera Ghar

Pehchaan.ne se ab mujhe darta hai mera ghar,
Main jis gali rehta hoon, wahaan se hi kyon aksar,
Bina dua-salaam guzarta hai mera ghar.

-"Khayaal"

Saayeqaat..

Ghiri ghata hai magar koyi saayeqaat nahin,
Halki si baarish hai ae dil darne ki koyi baat nahin.

Dil bahel jaaye hawaayein ab aisi kahaan,
Aur rula de jo hoti woh ab barsaat nahin.

Hamne duniya ke liye ashqon se adaavat kar li,
Aur khush rahoon ab aise mere haalaat nahin.

Sun.na chaaho to mere dil ki dhadkanein sun lo,
Ab sunaane ko mere paas waaqiyaat nahin.

-'Khayaal'

Visaal...

Yeh qurbaton ka kya naya nizaam aaya hai,
Hai Vasl ek gunaah yeh paighaam aaya hai.

Unki imaandaari ko to dekhiye zara,
Bas main hi hoon jis par haseen ilzaam aaya hai.

Tum bhi to they zoya-e-visaal-e-mukammalaan,
Phir kaise yahaan bas mera hi naam aaya hai.

Naseeb tha na tarq karna na ulfat naseeb mein,
Kaisa yeh mere ishq ka anjaam aaya hai.

Rehte they is 'khayaal' se saare hi tagaaful,
Jaane yeh kaise zikr sar-e-aam aaya hai...

मनुष्यता....

निजता का ध्यान कर
स्वयं का सम्मान कर।
है मनुष्य तो मनुष्यता

के लिये बलिदान कर।।

प्रकाश के प्रचारकों को,
आलोक-पुंज धारकों को।
दिव्य के प्रसारकों को
रश्मि-किरण दान कर।।

नवीन का संचार हो
और ज्ञान का विस्तार हो।
अद्वैत सदाचार हो तू
ऐसा अनुष्ठान कर।।

Zabt....

Zabt ke fard chaaq chaaq siye jaate hain,
Zindagi deti hai aawaaz jiye jaate hain.

Ek din aayega hamara charagar bhi koyi,
Bas yehi soch ke ham dard piye jaate hain.

Zakhm dukhte hain raqeebon ko khushi milti hai,
Chupke chupke woh hampe waar kiye jaate hain.

Meri majbooriyon par lutf unhe aata hai,
Kehkahe unke meri jaan liye jaate hain...

Baaqi Shaam

Shaam baaqi thi main mehfil se chala aaya tha
Bujhte angaaron ko main fir se jala aaya tha

Aaye to they wahaan sab shaam ko rangeen karne
Dil ko karne roshan kon bhala aaya tha

Chehre apnon ke bhi lagte nahi the apnon se
Har koyi ajnabi rangon mein dhala aaya tha

Sard jismo ki tapish ka 'khayaal' kisne kiya
Kisko pata chala ke ek dil ka jalaa aaya tha...

Munaasibat...

Main kyon aakhir wahi sab mas-ale har baar likhoon,
Sej sholon ko likhoon aur gulon ko khaar likhoon.

Kaisi chubhte hain nashtar yeh mere seene mein
Kaise neze huye dilon ke aar-paar likhoon.

Tumhaari jeet meri jeet hai, tum kehte they,
Tumhaari jeet ko phir kaise apni haar likhoon.

Jawaab mein hi kyonkar rahoon uljha itna,
Sawaal baaqi hain jo reh gaye do chaar likhoon.

Jawaab they tumhaare paas mere shikwon ke,
Magar jawaab ko haami ya ke inqaar likhoon.

Tumhaare pehlu mein madhosh tha main sadiyon taq,
Hai munaasib ke ab khud ko main bedaar likhoon...

Saraab-e-Khayaal

Qaraar paane ki koshish mein aur lutaya hamne,
Jis simt nazar ki tumko khada paaya hamne.

Fareb tha ke haqeeqat ise ab kya kahiye,
Jagmaga sa jo tha dekha tera saaya hamne.

Hai kashish ashq mein ya dil ki kuch majboori hai,
Jitna diya dilasa khud ko aur rulaaya hamne.

Is qadar phans ke reh haya hu is saraab-e-Khayaal mein,
Khud ko bhula diya aur tumko bhi na paaya hamne...
-'Khayaal'

Pareshaani

Khaaron ki chubhan ka bhi na shikwa kare koyi,
Tum hi kaho ke aise mein ab kya kare koyi

Kitna luta asaasa kitne jaan se gaye,
Kaise lagaaye marham kya dua kare koyi

Hai vahshaton ke saaye mein Imaan ki basti,
Kisko hai fikr jaan ki parwaah kare koyi...

-'khayaal'

Haqeekat

Hijaab-e-mehvish azaab nikla
Jawaab nikla ke baab nikla

Wo ek mushq thi jo chhupaye chhupi na
Yeh ishq aur tha be-naqaab nikla

Woh jiski tamanna thi belaag dil ko
Wo hi shauq-e-khana kharaab nikla

Purana sa ek gul kitaabon se nikla,
Main hairaan hoon kaise shaadaab nikla.

-'Khayaal'

Justjoo

Dasht ki dastaq huyi hai phir bahaar mein
Kuch naqsh-e-paa hain phir mere hi intezaar mein

Zarra zarra wajud chhina jata hai kyonkar,
Kuch bhi raha na jaise mere ikhtiyaar mein

Barson tadap rahi thi ek aahat koyi jaise
Sadiyon kati hai raat isi izteraar mein

Lamba hai yeh kissa-e-justjoo-e-kehkashaan
Ek toot'ta taara samajh lo ikhtesaar mein

Woh surkh rang gul khilega to ek din
Guzarta gaya 'Khayaal' isi aitbaar mein...
