Aaj, kuch likhne ka mann hain..

Aaj, kuch likhne ka mann hain..
Siyahi na sahi, kagaz bhi na rahi
yuhi.. dil mein kuch shabdo k moti pirone ka irada hain
apne aap se aaj.. kuch mangne ka mann hain.

Is raat ki gehrai mein, chup chap behti hawaa k sang
dur kahi apne dil ki dhadkan hi sun rahi
na na kehti, aankhein moond le rahi
phir bhi chanchal mann zid pe aaj hain adi;

Hote hain bohut hum jaise aur bhi nishachar prani 
yun toh, ped k dali par baithi woh ullu bhi kya bole
jab tthan li - ji raas-ne ko, fariyaad kuch hain khas aaj
Gulzar-Ghalib k shayari se dil ko behlane ka mann hain aaj!

Mohabbat k do alfaaz, kya sunau main
jab dilo dimag ka har zarra, gulistaan-e-gulam hain
pucho mat kaha lootate phirey woh angeenat keemti pal
is begane se mann ko buzurgo ki tarah samjhati hoon aaj-kal;
 
Aksar raah chalte, nazar uth ja-atakti
Masum si shakl, nanhi hi si woh jaan pe
apna aks kahi dikhta mujhe, muskurati huyi guzar jati
yun toh.. aankhon mein shararat jhalakti kuch aaj bhi.

Aaj, kuch likhne ka mann hain..
bina kisi fikar.. dil khol k hasne ki chah hain
le chal zindagi tu... haath pakad, un saal-on ki galiyon mein
jane-anjaane safar pe.. jaha se mud k dekhun, toh faiz zindagani lagey!
