Dar o deewar hum apni sajaa rahe hain

Dar o deewar hum apni sajaa rahe hain
Wo kahin aur tasveer taangne ja rahe hain

Mehfil mein humein bula kar dekho kaise 
Raqeeb-shumari humse wo karwaa rahe hain

Un logon ka anjaam kya hoga ab dekhein
Ujade khaime bhi jo loot'te ja rahe hain 

Ghar dhank bhi diya aaino se humne yaaro
Ye kyun ghar mein patthar nahin aa rahe hain

Zeest roshan karte ye armaanon ke sholay
Baraste farebon se bujhe jaa rahe hain

All She Said

ALL SHE SAID

12 June 2012 at 12:57
She takes my hand
In hers and plays
With my fingers
Bending, twisting
caressing slowly
Gazing intently at them
A single lock of hair
falls over her bowed head
A controlled admission
Of her feelings
Lies in her upward glance
To me

Now her other hand
Moves up to my head
And her eyes follow
Resting on my hair
The hand and eyes examine
With great interest
I sit still
eyes on her face
On her eyes that still
Do not meet mine

I see lids heavy with
Desire and love
Try to read them
And fail miserably
Not a word is said
In this unhurried time

And the phones ring
Mine and hers together
We pick them up
I see the number
and disconnect mine
She starts talking
I watch the words
As they form on those lips
Pursing, parting, expanding
The brows dance and
smiles play in her eyes
Now animated now still
Her hands play with her hair
I just keep looking
Taking it all in
Such a view
The curve of her back
Seam of her dress
The band in her hair
The studs in her ears
The stars in her eyes
The sun in her smile
I do not blink
Just stare like a fool

Call done she turns to me
Again quiet
But looks up to me
In my eyes
The very eyes
that have waited for long
To gaze into hers
Her hands come up again
This time to cup my face
Her lower lip quavers slightly
Suddenly I ask who it was
On the phone
A friend was all she said

Sulagta hai dil

Sulagta hai dil to karta hai sawaal bhi,
mohabbat mein aati hai subh e zavaal bhi

khamoshi mein hain pardadari ki alamatein,
tanhaiyon main panapte hain malaal bhi

muskurate ho ab bhi baatein karte ho,
rakhte ho dil mein bewafa khayal bhi

gile kya karun tum se kya shikayatein,
sannaate bhi hain sukoon la muhaal bhi

nibah rahe hain is salikay se rasm e duniya,
guzre chand roz phir mahine aur saal bhi

main apna haal e dil bayaan na kar paoon,
teri ankhen bhi khushk hain laal bhi

Hai Kashish

Hai kashish phir bhi dooriyan rehti hain
Mohabbaton ke beech majboorian rehti hain

Har kali ki khushboo lena zaroori toh nahin
Bhanwaron ki apni bedaariyan rehti hain

Use dekha bhi socha bhi samjha bhi jaana bhi
Jaise sehraaon ke khaabon mein haryaalian rehti hain

Ek zamaane se rehta hoon saath jiske
Usko leke aaj bhi betaabiyan rehti hain
