~~~...Khuda ko bhula diya...~~~

ik pal mein jeena kya hota hai, tumne ab batla diya

haathon mein leke haath, jeene ka matlab sikhla diya...

main kismat par apni hansun ya roun, kya karun ab

mujhe khayaalon mein le chali aur sachhai se milwa diya...

kuch toota sa hai khud mein aur kuch juda sa bhi lage

'Noor' ko chhookar bhar 'Viti' ne khuda ko bhula diya...

~~~...Kuch lafz hain jo...~~~

"nazm uljhi hui hai seene mein...
misre atke hue hain hoothon par...
lafz kaaghaz pe baithte hi nahi...
udte phirte hain titliyon ki tarah...
kabse baitha hua hun main jaanam
saada kaaghaz pe likhkar naam tera...
bas tera naam hi mukkamal hai...
isse behtar bhi nazm kya hogi?" :)

~~gulzaar sahab ki kalam se 



kuch lafz hain jo yunhi udte hue 
utar jaate hain kaaghaz par
hon jaise deewane tumhaare, 
yeh kataar mein khade dekho
likh dete hain daastan, 
kabhi tumhaari adaon ki, to kabhi yeh
ulajhte se hain tumhari zulfon mein, 
kabhi chhookar tumko milta hai chain inhe,
kabhi bechain se rehte hain intezaar mein...

kuch lafz hain jo yunhi udte hue 
utar jaate hain kaaghaz par
kabhi tumhaari nazron mein khokar, 
kabhi ho fursat jo,
to raat bhar tumhe dekhkar, 
lutaate hain sukoon apna aur chahte hain 
ho jaana fanaa tumhare narm hoothon par
inki tamanna ho tum, aur 
inki khwaish bhi tum hi ho...

kuch lafz hain jo yunhi udte hue 
utar jaate hain kaaghaz par
bhar deti ho rang tum in sab mein satrangi, 
khil uthte hain yeh tumhare paas baithen 
to nahi bachti koi aarzoo adhoori inki
aur gar na pahunch paayen 
tumhaare dil tak to zindagi kya,
maut kya, aur kya hai paana
aur kya khona is jahaan mein...

kuch lafz hain jo yunhi udte hue 
utar jaate hain kaaghaz par...

~~~...Phir se...~~~

meri baahon mein aake simat ja phir se
sookhe patte si tu aa bikhar ja phir se

jismein shikan hai ab bhi us raat ke
usi chadar mein aa lipat ja  phir se

ji uthunga, uth jaunga gehri neend  se
pehle jaisi mujhpar bifar ja phir se

bura na lage gar, choti si guzarish hai
choone pe mere ek baar   sihar ja phir se

padhke kho jaun tere haath  se likha hua
chori se haath mein payaam de ja phir se

'Viti' ko rahi na aur khwaish koi 'Noor'
kuch adhoore khwaab mere tatol ja  phir se....

sunset-one of the best pics i have ever taken

~~~...Kuch armaan honge...~~~

us jahaan mein jahan naa koi hum par jafaa honge

mohabbat ke gulistaan aur ulfat ke makaan honge

khwaishon ka kaafila hoga, hum par sabki nigahen

choti si is duniyaa ke, hum hi to baghbaan honge

naa hogi killat pyaar jataane mein, na gumaan tujhe

kab ho aisa, teri zulfon ke jab hum aashnaa honge

hain aaj hum nazron mein teri dost, aur kuch nahi

us aalam mein dil bhi to bebaak, yak zubaan honge

ibaadat-e-'Noor' to 'Viti' ki aadat si ho chali huzoor

darr lage unse, jo khoye sareraah, kuch armaan honge...

~~~...Taraana de diya...~~~

aankhon mein ik maykhaana de diya 

beghar ko ik naya thikaana de diya 

chaahat ki ye aarzoo aayi kahan se

besabr khwaishon ko aashiyana de diya

kore kaaghaz par kuch lakeeren thi

unhe nazm kehne ka bahaana de diya

bheed mein gum jaana tha 'Viti' ko to

'Noor' ne lekin hasin weeraana de diya

sunsaan, anjaan, gumnaam thi hasti

chhupchaap zubaan ko taraana de diya...

~~~...Hazaaron khwaishein sameta karun...~~~

Tere khayaal se jo chhaa jaati hai

Us bekhudi ko kaise bayan karun

Tu mil jaaye sar-e-raah mujhe

Hazaaron khwaishein sameta karun

Aadhi adhoori si tasveer samne mere

Teri kami 'Noor,' jannat ise ayan karun

Har ek baat soch kar bolna tere saamne

Kaise yeh doori door darmiyan karun

'Viti' na jaane duniya ke dastoor, han

Daawa yahi, pal dar pal, sadiyan karun

Teri chilman ke paar aa sakun kabhi to

Ho jaun nisaar ya raatein giriya karun...

~~~...Le chal kahin...~~~

Apne sang mujhe le chal kahin
Udenge falak mein, le chal kahin

Yeh jahan ab na raha mera yaar
Shorgul se duur mujhe le chal kahin

Bandagi mein khoya khud ko maine
Tujhe dekhe nazar jahan, le chal kahin

Maine to roz ki khwaish, teri panahon ki
Khwaab sach hon mere, le chal kahin


Apne sang mujhe le chal kahin
Udenge falak mein, le chal kahin...

~~~...Ab kahan jaati ho...~~~

meri duniya mehka ke ab kahan jaati ho?
mere itne kareeb aake ab kahan jaati ho?
chahat ki sehar hai par shaam ka na pata
mujhe 'Noor' se milake ab kahan jaati ho?

dil ko yun bebas na karo, toot jaayega ye
mujhe pyaar se sulaake ab kahan jaati ho?
lamhe judaai ke to guzaar diye kisi tarah
mili to nazren jhukaake ab kahan jaati ho?

'Viti' ko pata nahin ki kya sahi, kya galat
roz tum mujhe tadpake ab kahan jaati ho?
ek jhooth hi keh do ki ishq hai tumhe bhi
itni khwaishein jagaake ab kahan jaati ho?
