Gulzarish-I

A summary of my attempts at being gulzarish...

1. Ek baar fir tere shehar se hoke guzar raha hu...
...ek baar fir...yaadon ka silsila chal pada hai...

2. Roz ki tarah
aaj bhi guzar raha tha us raaste se...
...wahi raasta jispe ek mandir bhi hai

kabhi dil kia to do pal..
..khuda se bhi guftgu kar leta hu..
chalte chalte..

aaj bhi hui guftgu...
bas itna kaha ke...
...uska khayal rakhna...

3. Kuch ajeeb hi hoti hai
mohabbat ki majbooriya...
usko batana chaho..aur usi se chupao

4. Kehte hai mohabbat mein shaksh pagal ban jaata hai...
aur jo pagal na bana de..wo bhi koi mohabbat hui!

5. Ajeeb ittfaaq hai ye bhi
Jis se izhaar-e-mohababat
karna chahe ye dil
wo suane ko taiyar nahi..
aur sunane ko is dil se...
koi kuch kehne ko taiyaar nahi!

6. Aasmaa ke rang ko oadh ke wo bilkul aisi lag rahi thu..
maano badalo ki oat se koi pari nikal rahi ho...

7. Badalo ki oat se girte moti...
jab is chehre padte hai..
aisa lagta hai maano...
apne geele baalo se chitakate paani
ki boondein
mujhe pe daal rahi hai tu...

8. Kis ajeeb pasopesh ka naam mohabbat hai...
izhaar karne tak ki izazat nahi...
na usse..na apne aap se..

9. Kabhi to izhaar-e-mohabbat karn de...
kabhi to mauka de dil ki baat jubaa pe laane ka..

suna hai maut bhi nahi aati...
gar koi khwaish adhoori reh jaaye

10. Kal ek gustakhi ho gayi thi mujhse...
darsal 'gud night' kehna bhool gaya tha use...
aaj shiqayat ki usne...

koi haq jataye to...accha lagta hai dil ko.


to be contd...
