Diwangi ki wajah

Zindagi khamoshi mein beeti meri kuch is tarah
Dhoondta hun main deewana apni diwangi ki wajah
Raat din subah shaam khoya khoya rehta hun
Ghoomta hun har gali kooche mein yuhi bin wajah

Apni hi parchayi parayi lagne lagi hai
Apne hi aap se nafrat hone lagi hai
Dar lagta hai khwabon ko sajane ka
Jaane kya hai is ruswaee ki wajah
Zindagi khamoshi mein beeti meri kuch is tarah
Dhoondta hun main deewana apni diwangi ki wajah

Dost koi dushman koi samajh na paata hun
Gairon ko dekh kar sehem sa jaataa hun
Dar lagta hai ab logon se milne ko
Jaane kya hai iss deheshat ki wajah
Zindagi khamoshi mein beeti meri kuch is tarah
Dhoondta hun main deewana apni diwangi ki waja|

The 2 AM shairi

itne saal guzar gaye khamoshi mein
ab toh haal-ae-dil batane se dar lagta hai
saath tumhare hokar bhi tanha hun
apni hi jasbaaton se dar lagta hai

kuch samjhu naa is lamhe ki tehzeeb
bada paechida sa waqt guzarta hai
chidd si aati hai apni majboori par
tum kya sochoge is.se dar lagta hai

tumse door rehne hi koshish mai karta hun
chahakar bhi tumhare kareeb nahi aata hun
hum-tum apne apne raaston par chal diye lekin
kahin manzil alag na ho, yeh dar lagta hai!
