हिज्र

Posted on

हिज्र में हैं जनाब, ज़र्रा-ज़र्रा चुभन भी होंगी।

तेरे जाने से आंखे खुश्क हैं, पर नम भी होंगी।।

ना टूटने का क़रार याद है हमें, बस सांसे ज़रा भारी हैं,

कुछ चल रही हैं, पर कुछ तो ये कम भी होंगी।।

धड़कन ना रुकी

Posted on

ज़ालिम हैं हालत, कि तेरी गुफ्तगू से महरूम हूं।

होश में तू भी नहीं, भीड़ में मैं गुम हूं ।।

गुनाह हुआ जो वादा तोड़ा कि आंसू ना होंगे।

धड़कन तो ना रुकी, बस रूह से ज़रा सुन्न हूं।।

गुस्ताखियाँ मेरी

Posted on

गुस्ताख़ होने से मेरे, रुस्वा तो हुआ ज़माना.

पर तन्हाइयों में सिसकियों का सबब, सूझता भी ना था.

कब तक शिरक़त करते लहू-लुहान दिल के जनाज़े में?

जनाज़े तक में, तकब्बुर से कोई चूकता भी ना था.

When you rebel against the world. for the world doesn’t deserve softer and nicer you. It didn’t lend a hand when you were in need. It just didn’t care. Now you shouldn’t too.

Glossary:

सबब = कारण , Cause

शिरक़त = शामिल होना, join

तकब्बुर = अहंकार, arrogance

He, Sea ‘n’ Tides

Posted on

Suppose friends are tides,

And this world is a sea.

Your heart is sea- shore,

For a sec, just let it be.

How many tides are there in sea,

It doesn’t matter.

Those which touch the shore,

are considered better and they only matter.

Don’t take for granted,

that all tides are similar tides.

They too have numerous intentions,

but count them for two types.

First, that makes you drown & thus,

makes your identity lost in the sea.

Second that makes you overcome, reach your destiny,

Remember for none, it can be me.

He was trapped by first type tides,

His chance to be free wasn’t a bit.

Suddenly a second type tide came,

But very soon, the sea withdrew it.

A moment later there were a few second type’s tides,

that could have rescued him.

But now it was too late.

The water had gone over the brim.

Those second types watched the whole scene.

In front of every tide, he did lean.

But why the sea turned so mean.

He’s still unanswered..still keen.
