zanjeerein

kitni zanjeerein pad gayi hain is saraape pe,
pura majmoon hi likh gaya ho jo lifaafe pe.

aaj sannaate mein baithe woh khoob rote hain,
khilkhilaate the jo kabhi tamaashe pe.

ashq to rok leinge woh bhale zabran hi sahi,
zabt kiska hua hai aaj talaq aape pe...

-'Khayaal'

khud se yeh vada sahi

Yeh bhi irada sahi
khud se yeh wada sahi

Chandni tumko mubaarak
Chaand hame aadha sahi

thodi peekar kya karenge
aaj kuch zyaada sahi

shokhiyaan yeh tum hi rakkho
meri guzar saada sahi
khud se yeh wada sahi..

ajnabi barsaatein

Aaj phir apne aap se mulaaqaat huyi,
lafz dhoondhne pade magar baat huyi.

Sunehri kirnein dekhkar chale the ham,
yak-ba-yak yeh kya hua kyon raat huyi.

Sun ke rimjhim yeh man machalta tha,
Aaj kyon ajnabi si yeh barsaat huyi.....

-'Khayaal'

yeh kaisa haal hai ke

Mujhko pata chala na tumko khabar gayi,
phir baat thehri thi jo kyonkar kidhargayi.

Tumne kahi na maine suni phir woh ankahi,
kis raaste se aayi kis dam guzar gayi.

Kal tak to bas bhari thi chingariyan hi dil mein,
ek woh sharaar nikli sab zakhm bhar gayi.

Rote huye hansi si aayi hai jo labon pe,
kuch baat thi ki aise hairaan kar gayi.

Tum ho azeez mere kuch to karo 'Khayaal',
yun na kaho ki jaan raqeebon ke ghar gayi.

Zindagi ka safar

baadal,
dariya,
rait sa jeevan
kab kiske haath aaya hai.
ek ek kar saari yaado ko
dil mein hi dafnaaya hai.

khidki se chhanti
dhoop ke tukdon
mein jeevan tha,
woh bachpan tha
wahin kahin imli ki jad mein,
thoda khod chhipaaya hai.

patton se risti baarish mein
jo dil mein halchal machti thi
kya woh teri hasti thi
haan, tum khul ke hansti thi,
us bheegi hui hansi ko apni
aankho se barsaaya hai.

woh sadak kinaare
chaay sahaare,
shamein kaatin yaaron ke sang,
din guzaare,
har us din ki
dhundhli yaadein
dhundhle dhuein mein udaaya hai....
......
zindagi ka safar...........

Safeena-e-zindagi

Duniya ke samandar mein safeena hai zindagi,
Bekhauf kabhi haan hai kabhi naa hai zindagi.

Maqsad na ho to yeh badi aaraam talab hai,
Kuch thaan lo to khoon paseena hai zindagi.

Apno ke beech khushnuma bahaar zindagi,
Apno se door joon maheena hai zindagi.

Gar saath ilm ka hai to har raah hai aasaan,
Be-ilm to gumraah naabeena hai zindagi.

Meri baat

Apni bhi main kahoonga be-zubaan nahi hoon,
hai apni khabar mujhko badgumaan nahi hoon.

Uchhla hua intekhaab ka jumlaa nahi hoon main,
pal pal badalta jaaye woh bayaan nahi hoon.

lambi chalegi meri kahaani mere ajeez,
main pal do pal ki koyi daastaan nahi hoon.

Yeh hai wahi dayaar jise chaahte the tum,
In surkh raaston se main hairaan nahi hoon.

-'Khayaal'

zakhm

Kayi marhalon se ishq bhar guzarte rahe,
zakhm dil pe lage the apna asar karte  rahe.

jab jab kahin ruswaaiyon ka zikr chala,
apni nazrein jhukaaye baithe rahe darte rahe.

ek kisi kehkahe ne pucha khaamoshi ka sabab,
Muskuraate rahe taqleef ko sar karte rahe....

-'Khayaal'

Kamzarf papeeha

Yeh munaasib to nahi aag lagaaye paani,
Jitna barse hai utna hamko jalaaye paani.

Hamko margoob hai sehra ki tapish si thandak,
Dil ki khalish ko kaise bujhaaye paani.

Aalam-e-tishnagi-e-khoon-o-jaan-o-maal hai yeh,
Aise mein kis ki yahaan pyaas bujhaaye paani.

Log khush hain jo inhi patjharon ke mausam mein,
To kyon kamzarf papeeha yeh bulaaye paani...

-'Khayaal'

ankahi..(hindi)

char qadam chala
thithak kar rukna pada..
vishdhar ki jeebh sa
woh do-faad raasta
muh baaye khada tha
ya muh chidha raha tha
maalum nahi.....
kuch shabd se kaano me pade,
sahi galat, galat sahi
kuch pehchaane kuch ajnabi
ek dheemi dheemi pukaar
ek cheetkaar
antarman tha ya paristhiti
kuch samajh na aaya
vikat samay tha...
daayi or chaloon to
baayi aankh bura to na maanegi
aankhein to apni hoti hain...
aawaazein bhi apni thi..
bahut vichaara, phir
ek sarkande ki talwar bana kar
dono raasto kr beech ki vishamtaaon ko
saaf karne laga
soch tha dono ko mila dene se
samasya hal ho jaayegi
kuch prayatn safal hua hi tha
man khushi se uchhal raha tha...
achaanak
raaste vishamtaaon mein
aur vishamta raasto me
gadd madd ho gaye
gardan kisi shikanje me phasi
prateet huyi,
dam ghuta...
aur main
amaratva ko praapt hua....

Woh baatein

le aao phir woh suhaani shaamo ki baatein,
chamakte woh din aur woh jugnu si raatein.

woh hasna hasaana woh milna milaana,
raat bhar hone waali sitaaron ki baatein.

ki ab paas hain saath phir bhi nahi hain,
bahut yaad aati hain dost yaaron ki baatein.

umar chheen legi sukoon yeh na socha
tha bachpan mein karte umardaaro ki baatein.

-'Khayaal'

mera shazar

haalaat ke shazar mein har patta kahaani tha,
maine diya tha khoon aur tumne diya paani tha.

har saans barasti thi bas us shazar ko mehkaane,
har dhadkan me chhupa jazbaa-e-rawaani tha.

kya sochkar us ped ko tum kaat.te they aksar,
woh meri tamanna tha woh meri jawaani tha....

-'Khayaal'

Hijaab-e-mehvish

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'

dil ki khalish

Apne haalaat ki saaqi ko khabar hone tak
Main chhalakta hoon kyon har raat sahar hone tak

Waqfa-e-dhadkano me bhi kyon dil dhadakta hai
Ashq behte hain kyon khoon se tar hone tak

Baad muddat ke mujhe ab ye 'khayaal' aaya hai
Chaand bhi rehta hai maayoos badar hone tak

Main jo gumsum hoon koyi baat zaroori to nahi
Waqt lagta hai magar khatm-e-asar hone tak..

naakaamiyaan

Har gali khaali si hai aur rasta har veeraan hai,
Is baher mein aana ab shaayed koyi toofaan hai.

Goonjti hain dhadkanein aur cheerti kaano ko hain,
Dil mera naashaad hai naakaam hai naadaan hai.

Main kahaan dhoondhu sukoon-o-chain ki wo karwatein,
Neemvaayi ko machalti pasliyon mein jaan hai.

Ret par thehri sadaf ko mauj ka imkaan hai par,
Hai guhar uske hi andar isse woh anjaan hai.

-'Khayaal'

Chaak gareebaan

Chaak-girebaan ko aur kya malaal raha,
Aabroo ka hi bas 'khayaal' raha.

Zindagi thokaron se sajtee rahi,
Aamad-e-dard bhi bahaal raha,

Dhadkanein jangjoo si kaari aur,
Har nafas mein bhi ek jawaal raha...

-'Khayaal'

Aabshaar

Har ghari intezaar hota hai,
Maut par kab hisaar hota hai.

Ye bhi kar loon, woh bhi paa loon isi zamaane mein,
Ek shub'ha baar baar hota hai.

Kal jo apna tha ab kisi ka nahin,
Chaand taaron mein shumaar hota hai.

Kar lo neki naseeb hon jitni,
Faisla aakhirkaar hota hai.

Jitni hoti udaan hai jiski,
Utna hi aabshaar hota hai..

Mausam ki tarah tum bhi....

Phir mile hain wahi mausam se badalne waale,
Ab nahi girte hain woh gir ke sambhalne waale.

Rasta to dariya bhi badle hai dekhkar mushkil,
Kya gunaah karte hain phir soch badalne waale.

Ab yehi soch hai din bhar yahi hai shaam-o-sahar,
Woh koyi aur the haalaat me dhalne waale...

Kaisi Khalish

Yeh kaisi aag seene mein
Jali magar bujhi nahi,
Yeh kaisi baat aankho mein
Chali magar ruki nahi.
Yeh kaisa dard seene mein,
Yeh kaise zakhm khaaye hain,
Yeh kaisi aandhiya hain jo
Uthi magar dabi nahi.
Yeh kaisa intezaar hai
Yeh dil kyon beqaraar hai
Yeh kaisi khwaahishaat hain
Palee magar thami nahi,
Yeh jism tooTta sa hai
Wajood roothta sa hai
Tumhaari aarzoo ki kuch
Khalish to hai kami nahi...

Ishq

Is dunia ke kayi falsafe samjhaane ke liye,
Ek ishq kaafi hai samajhdaar banaane ke liye.

Dil mein dard bhi hai aankho mein gham ka sagar bhi,
Labon pe muskuraahat sirf bahaane ke liye.

Yeh vahi jaane jispe guzri hai ghair kya samjhe,
Umr lag jaati hai sirf ek pal bitaane mein...
-'Khayaal'

Chaahat

Ek dheemi si sadak hai aur hain raftaar pe ham,
Hain akele par datey hain mauju-e-guftaar pe ham.

Tum samajh lo dillagi ya phir meri deewangi,
Bas rahe khaamosh jab bhi baithe hain taqraar pe ham.

Vasl-o-tarq ki nisbatein is zindagi mein yun raheen,
Baad milne ke bhi rehte hasrat-e-deedaar pe ham...

-'Khayaal'

Chaandni jalaati hai

Saher se muntazir tha dil tumhara,
Pur aatish din bada thanda sa beeta...
Magar yeh raat jaise jal uthi hai,
Bataao kya karoon main??

Hai taptee saans aur hain dhadkanein angaar jaisee,
Tumhari yaad ki thandak bhi ab shola bani hai,
Bataao kis tarah se saans loon main??

-'Khayaal'

kabhi hansa tha main

Tumhe kya bataayein hamein kitne gham they,
Jahaan dil laga tha, bade pench-o-kham they.

Tha dil ka lagaana ya jaan ka nikalna,
Woh hanste they ya ke lagaate marham they.

Dekhkar purani tasweer khayaal aaya aisa,
Woh hansta hua tha jo chehra kya ham they...

-'Khayaal'

Chaand aur roti

Ek ajnabi sa dekha,
Bachpana titli sa dekha.

Jiske saaye se tha bhaga,
Har koyi usi sa dekha.

Khauf ke badhte shazar mein,
Phool zindagi sa dekha.

Kyon kalam mein dard aaya,
Duniya ko nakli sa dekha.

Bhooka bachcha mujhse bola,
Kaun ho tumne kya dekha.

Mujhse poocho maine aksar,
Chaand ko roti sa dekha..

-'Khayaal'

haseen khayaal

Teri hi aarzoo lekar, subah ghar se nikalte hain,
Tumhare naam ke sadqe, shamaao mein pighalte hain.

Tum apni kaampti palkein uthakar ek nazar dekho,
Tumhare surkh doron mein mere armaan palte hain.

Jo apne lab ki jumbish ko sambhaale ho tum is tarha,
Phisal wo yak-ba-yak jaaye to dil pe teer chalte hain
.
Zara thehro ke jee bhar ke tumhe aankhon mein bhar to loon,
Na poocho raat saari karvatein ham kyon badalte hain...

-'Khayaal'

asraar

Paani mein bikhre surkh gulaabon ki tarah,
Woh kaisa waaqiya tha saraabon ki tarah.

Ek shorish-e-baaraan mein kuch uljha hua sa tha,
Part dar part khula wo lamha hijaabon ki tarah.

Naqaabil-e-yakeen tha asraar jo bhi tha,
jo kuch bhi saamne tha, tha khwaabon ki tarah.

Us taajir-e-nihaan se na kuch poochte bana,
Rakhne pade sawaal jawaabon ki tarah...

-'Khayaal'

Uska jaana

Ek ummeed dikha ke chala gaya koyi,
Bujhte chiraago ko phir jala gaya koyi.

Is talaatum mein hamko kar tanha,
Le ke apni safeena chala gaya koyi.

Jo dagar thi mushkil ham usi ki or chale,
Logo ne kaha dekho phir diljala gaya koyi.

-'Khayaal'

Aaine

Aaine hain sabhi siyaah dekho,
Dard faila hai had-e-nigaah dekho.
Hain to sab hi museebaton ke maare huye,
Kisko milti hai ab panaah dekho.

Woh jo baitha hai sab ke dard ka baa'is,
Kehte hain sab jahaapanaah dekho.
Chand aansu kisi ke ponchho mat,
Isko kehte hain ab gunaah dekho.
Hai haqeeqat kya karo 'khayaal' iska,
Khwaab dekho na khwaabgaah dekho.
