Yaadon ka Waaar...

Sau baar likh kar sau baar mitaya..
Har baar dil se un hi ka naam aaya..
Koshish bahut ki k pal bhar ji jau..lekin -
Yaadon k khanjar ko har baar laal paya..

Kabhi tasveero se..kabhi chittho se..
Dil bheega hai ashq ki nadiyon se...
Yaadon ke dariye mein jab khud ko doobta paaya
Num ankhon mein pal-pal ek hi chehra aaya..

Auro pe ilzaam kya..apni aadat kuch aisi hai..
Qatilo se dosti aur dillagi rahi hai..
Kabhi khanjar se dil..kabhi dil se khanjar lagaya..
Katra-katra rooh !!.. har katre se us hi ka naam aaya..

Fark, Faasla aur Faisla..

Meri dhadkan mujhse aksar baatein karti hain…

Is che-chahati shehar mein tu akela kyun hai..??
Jahan raftaar hai tez, tu thehra kyun hai..??
Kabhi bahar to dekh.. log tujhse dikhenge –
Chehal- pehal mein kuch “rang” aur khilenge..

Ik baar aur kar bharosa..main fislunga nahi..
Har gair ke khaatir main dhadkunga nahi –
Khoobsurti ki yahan kami nahi koi…
Main husn ke pyas ko tarsunga nahi..

Rok rakha hai kab se, ab awaaz to de..
Bin mausam na sahi..par barsaat to de..
Banjar saanson ke age gulzar hai dost..
Bas kar ab..zindagi ko naye alfaaz to de..

“Wo shaam” sa mausam har pal saath rahega
Coffee ke khaali glass par hothon ka nishaan rahega
Koyal ke saath mushayra..aasmaan par sawari hogi..
Meri jaan har din holi..Har raat diwali hogi..

Guzarish thi ‘uski’(dhadkan) ..ab baari meri thi..
“Shikast se hoslen kam kiya nahi karte.. “ (Dhadkan to me)
“Roz-roz mohabbat hum kiya nahi karte..” (me to Dhadkan)
Samjhaane ki use..ab baari meri thi…

Maine thaam ke dil ko awaaz lagaya..
Samjhaya us par ek hi naam rahega..
Baagon mein gul khile-na khile…
Patton par deewangi ka nishaan rahega..

Sapne hai apne aur Khwaish parayee

Meri saanson se mujhe ajab mehek aayi
Shayad do ghoot zindagi kisi ne di milayi...
Mausam unke aate hi kuch aise badla..
jaise badre ke saath madmast ghata chayeee..


Main hu...khwab mere..aur ye mithi alsai...
khwab mein the saath unke..aay-haye ye angdaai..
gul khilne de abhi baag mein..tu pehle mat 'naach'..
ke arzoo "kshitij" ki..abhi tamanna hai parai...
