Shayar

Jab bhi hum apne khayalon ko unhe batalate hai
Alfaaz apne aap hi ek ghazal ban jaate hai
Socha to bahut humne, is karishme ka sabab
Sochte sochte aksar hum shayar ban jaate hai!

Madhosh

kyon yaad karta hai tumko
shayad usse bhi yeh pata nahi
dil ke zakhmon ka dard
shayad dil ne bhi pechana nahi

woh raton ko jagkar
tum hi ko sochna
woh din bar tumhare
deedar ko tarasna
woh suni dagar par
befaam bhatakna
woh tapti dhoop mein
raah dekhna
woh shyam ko thakk kar
ghar ko laut ana
woh dil ko samjhana
nasihat bhi dena
woh aankhon ke pyale se
aasoo.on ka chalakna
woh "maula" ko poochna
shikayat si karna
phir aaftaab ko dekhkar
dheere se muskurana
lajarate taaron ko dekh
apne par itarana

na khane ka hosh
na peena ka hosh
ek hi aarazoo
mein hai madhosh
kyon karta hai tumko
woh itna pyar
kab milega uskedil ko karaar
naye din ke saath
dard aur badhta hai
zakhmon ka lekin
ehsaas nahi hota hai

kyon yaad karta hai tumko
shayad usse bhi yeh pata nahi
dil ke zakhmon ka dard
shayad dil ne bhi pechana nahi!

Kabool

mera aadaab kabool karen
har woh dil jis mein mohabbat ho
mere lafz kabool karen
har woh ghazal jis mein ibaadat ho.

unko to har pal, yaad hum karte hai
chahate hai, har pal unka saath ho
chahat to dil ki tamanna hai lekin
mumkin to nahi har chahat hasil ho!

kaash aisa ho, woh saath ho mere
jannat tab yahan, is duniya mein ho
mera yeh Qafia kabool karen
har woh paimana jis mein jaam ho!

Manzil woh hi hai

Chanda woh hi hai,
sooraj woh hi hai|
Dharti maa ka
charitra woh hi hai|

Granth woh hi hai,
Seekh woh hi hai|
Shiksha ke prayog
sisak gaye hai|

Har desh mein koi
Ganga maiya hai
Har desh ki
Ganga maili hai|

Manzil woh hi hai,
raah woh hi hai
Musafar ke kadam
bhatak gaye hai||

Deewangi

Nazar nazar ki baat hai
Khoobsurati kissi mein kam nahi
Dekhne waale ki kadar hai
Aankhon ki koi farmaish nahi|

Husn' ki milkat ka ek hi wajood
Taareef kadardaan ki hai nahi
Deewane kayee iss mehefil mein
Deewangi ki kashish mein hum nahi|

Yu tho hum bhi deewane hote
Dil saath magar tha nahi
Taqdeer jo hamari kayam hai
Ai dost, hum taqdeer se nahi|

Hum se hai Zindagi ...

zindagi se hum kuch chahate hai
Zindagi humse bhi kuch chahati hai
Is chahat ki daud mein aakhir
Jeet zindagi ki hoti hai!

Jab hum apne tevar badalte hai
Jeet ke irade leherate hai
Zindagi kab baazee le jaati hai
Hum hairan hokar sochte hai!

Kabhi socha humne zindagi kya hai
Kabhi samjha humne hum kya hai
Aakhir yeh ehsaas hua yaaron
Zindagi se hum aur humse zindage hai!

Bored in life
To the core
Counting, one two three
And then four

Followed with a five
No me ain't high
Six seven eight
Whoa ... watch my weight :-)

Nine, ten and eleven
Typing isn't fun
Twelve and thirteen
Aah, here comes Mr. Clean

I could go counting
On and on
But by that time
You'd be gone

So I stop this
Counting business here
What shall I do next?
Boredom, no cure :-(

Where?

Am I there ... where 5 years ago I thought I would be 5 years hence?
No, not even close. In fact, not even on the same track.

Probably because life is dynamic, unlike the harbour railway line that runs from Panvel to CST. I realised today, that changes in life are not sequential.

Predicting where I'd be 5 years from now would be nothing less than dumb.
Does this mean that we should not plan anything in life?
Financial advisors - any answers?
