khamosh dil

Jo nazre bol paati toh shayad,

Aaj dil ka haal baayan ho jaata,

Jo muskuraahat sab bol paati,

Toh muskuraane ki vajh ka pata ho jata;

Jo nazre bol paati toh,

Aarmano ka koi aalag aalm hota,

Agar hawaie bol paati toh shayad,

Meri deewangi ka tumhe pata ho jata,

Jo nazre tumhari,

Yun mera vajood na jhootlaati,

Toh shayad iss kahani,

Ka maza kuch aur hota…

Kash meri kalm yun bezuban na hoti,

Toh shayad mere dil ka haal,

Kuch aur baya ho pata…

Aaj tumhari na maujoodgi ka,

Mujhe yun gum na hota,

Agar tumhari aahato ki khamoshi yun,

Ansu ban  bahi na hoti;

Aaj tumhari kami mujhe yun na,

Pareshaan kar rai hoti,

Jo muskurahat tumhari dikhi hoti…

Nazre mila na pane ki tadap itni na hoti,

Jo tumhe dekh pane ka koi bahana mil jata;

Agar ek jhalak pane ka koi mauka mil jata;

Toh yun hum kagaz ke badan pe alfaz na tarash rahe hote,

Aapni bebasi pe yun na muskura rahe hote…

Kya  khoob  phase  hum  iss  lok  laaj  me,

Ki aapki  ek  jalak  ko tadap  rae hai,

Aap samne hai humaare aur hum,

Nazre jhukae baithe hai,

Aur Nazre milane ko taras rae hai…

Deewangi kaa alam toh dekhiye aap,

Aapki ek jhalak paake,

Dil khushi se jhoom utha,

Muskurahat aisi bikhri hoto pe ,

Ki gum ka vajood hi mit gaya…

Khel aapke masoom mann mera samjh nahi paata hai,

aapki nazro ke Isharo me doob sa jata hai,

Pehliyo me ulajha hua,

Aapse sirf ek darkhaast kar raha,

Yun na jhootlayiye vajood ko mere,

Yun na nakariye maujoodgi ko meri,

Aap bus tadap badha rae hain nazro ke khel… khel ke,

Kahin bol na pade bechainiya meri,

Par aapki maujoodgi ka sukoon hi hume behla deta hai,

Darr hai aapke iss khel me,

Kahin roo na pade khamoshiya meri…

Jo aahatien bol paati toh shayad,

Aapki ki nazro se yeh na chupa hota,

ki kaise yeh gustakh dil dhadak jata hai aapki ek jhalak se,

iss dil ki majboori samjhe na tu ya  koi shajish hai yeh teri,

berukhi teri aaj saare paimaano ko par kar gayi,

aaj aapko dekh ke aisa laga,

jaise aap mere vajood se bekhabar hai,

ya aapko meri maujoodgi ki khabar hi nai,

 masoom dil jhulas sa gaya,

aapki berukhi se toot kar bikhar gaya

ansu me doob, wajah talshne laga,

akhir khata usse hui kaha?

Kahani shuru hone se pehle khatam ho gayi,

Masoom dil ko maine samjhaya,

Raasta yeh nahi tha mera,

Yeh maine usse bataya…

Masoomiyat dekh mere bebas dil ki,

Ankhe meri bhar aayi,

jo dil ne mere aap ka shukriya ada karna zaroori samjha,

ashko ke beech se muskura kar usne aapko shukriya bola,

jo aapne bin bole usse bata diya,

ki aap manzil nahi meri,

palat kar dil ne mujhe bhi samjhaya,

muskura kar mujhe bataya,

uss ghalib ko kyu kose aae gustakh tu,

woh toh tere haal-e-dil se anjaan hai,

uss ghalib ko kya pata,

ki koi dil uske liye bhi dhadak raha,

kisi masoom dil ki dhadkano me uska bhi naam hai…

muskura uthe mayus lab mere,

dil beshakh ghayal aabhi bhi tha,

zakham pe marhum lagaya,

aur dil ne apne hi ansuo se teri yaado ko dhul dala…
