Yahi mausam vahaan hoga, yahi qisse vahaan honge.

Yahi mausam vahaan hoga, yahi qisse vahaan honge.
Kahin bechainiyaan hongi, kahin aatish-fishaan honge.

*******
Hamaari amn ki baaten, mahaz jhooti tasalli hain,
N guzarenge agar jangon se, kaise shaadmaan honge.

*******
Taraqqi-yaafta qaumon kii baton ka bharosa kya,
Abhi hamse hain milte kal khuda jaane kahaan honge.

*******
Khayal is baat ka rakhna hamare haq men laazim hai,
Vahi kal honge dushman, aajke jo raazdaan honge.

*******
Hamen anjaam bhi maaloom hai , kal subh kya hoga,
Yahaan kuchh khoon-chakaan honge, vahaan kuchh khoon-chakaan honge.

Hoke beghar ja rahe the regzaaron men kaheen.

Hoke beghar ja rahe the regzaaron men kaheen.
Main bhi tha un kaarvaanon kii qataaron men kaheen.
Vo to kahiye saath uska tha ke saahil mil gaya,
Kashtiyaan bachti hain aise tez dhaaron men kaheen.
Der tak main aasamaan ko ek tak taktaa raha,
Sochkar shaayad vo shaamil ho sitaaron men kaheen.
Uspe jo bhi guzre, vo har haal men rahta hai khush,
Uske jaise log bhi hain in dayaaron men kaheen.
Ye bhi mumkin hai vo aaya ho ayaadat ke liye,
Kya ajab shaamil ho vo bhi gham-gusaaron men kaheen.
Ghar se jab niklaa bazaahir vo bahot khush-haal tha,
Lautne par khud ko chhod aaya ghubaaron men kaheen.

HAIRAT_ZADA HAI SAARA JAHAAN

Hairat-zada hai saara jahaan dekh ke mujhe.

Kya gahree neend aayi hai khanjar tale mujh.

Main subhe-rafta kii hun shuaa-e-fusoon-taraaz,

Lagte nahin hain shaam ke tewar bhale mujhe.

Khush-haal zindagi se n tha qalb mutmain,

Faaqon kii rahguzar ne diye tajrube mujhe.

Main apni manzilon ka pata jaanta hun khoob,

Gumraah kar n paayenge ye raaste mujhe.

Waqif rumooze-ishq se main yun n tha kabhi,

Raas aaye tere saath bahot ratjage mujhe.

Kab dekhta hun tere alaava kisi ko main,

Kab soojhta hai tere jahaan se pare mujhe.

Sunta rahaa main ghaur se kal teri guftugoo,

Mafhoom teri baaton ke achchhe lage mujhe.

Gham apne gholkar main kayi baar pee chuka,

Ab haadase bhi lagte nahin haadase mujhe.

MAKKE KII SAR ZAMEEN PE

Makke ki sarzameen pe Kaaba nahin mila.

Dekha jo dil men jhaank ke, sab kuchh yahin mila.

Gum ho gaya tha main bhi zamaane kii bheed men,

Tanha hua to raaze-dile-hamnasheen mila.

Sajde men sar jhukaaya tha main ne khuloos se,

Lams uske haath ka mujhe zere-jabeen mila.

In manzion se pahle tha bilkul main naashanaas,

Nikla to garde-raah men Arshe-bareen mila.

Dekha jo pyaar se to sabhi the meri tarah,

Dushman n paaya koi, n koi layeen mila.

Mujhko hi kar diya tha jahaan ne supurde-khaak,

Main hi tha vo khazaana jo zere-zameen mila.

***********************

Main tanha hun, nahin bhi hun

Main tanha hun, nahin bhi hun
Ki mera zehn khaali ek pal ko bhi nahin rahta,
N jane kin khayaalon ke safarnaame,
Hamesha saamne rahte hain jinko padhta rahta hun.
Samandar ke manaazir.
Shorishen,
Maujon ki barq-aamez taqreeren,
Rupahle rooyi jaise narm
Majnoo baadalon ke raqs kii thirkan,
Fizaaon se ubharti taayaron kii jaani-pahchaani,
Magar be-laus aavaazen,
Main sunta hun.
Mujhe mahsoos hota hai
Ki main khaamosh lab, be-khwaab aankhen, munjamid chehra
Hatheli par liye
Bazme-tarab men be-hiso-be-jaan baitha hun.

Achaanak saari aavazen badal jaati hain sholon men,
Haraarat daudkar maahaul ke shaane hillaati hai
Mujhe bhi chhoo ke aahista se kuchh kahti hai kaanon men
Meri be-khwab aankhon men utar aate hain phir se khwaab,
Honton par haraarat ke labon ka lams paakar
Munjamid chehre men ik tehreek si hoti hai,
Khud ko zindagi ke khushnuma aahang se labrez paata hun
Main tanhaa hun, nahin bhi hun.

KUCHH KAHOON KAISE / Zaidi Jafar Raza

Use hairat hai main zinda bhi hun aur khush bhi hun kaise
Khamoshi hi mere haq men hai behtar, kuchh kahun kaise
Kaha tha usne haq-goi se apni baaz aa jaao
Kaha tha main ne main patthar ko heera maan lun kaise
Kaha usne kisi mauqe pe jhuk jaana bhi padta hai
Kaha main ne ki sachchaayi ko dekhun sar-nugoon kaise
Kaha usne ki chup rah jaao koi kuchh bhi kahta ho
Kaha main ne ki main insaan hun patthar banoon kaise
Kaha usne kit um dushman bana lete ho duniya ko
Kaha main ne ki duniya kii tarah main bhi chaloon kaise
Kaha usne ki apnon aur behaanon ko pahchaano
Kaha main ne ki in lafzon men ye maani bharoon kaise
Mujhe jafar raza phir bhi vo apna dost kahtaa hai
Inaayat uski mujh par itnii zyaada hai ginoon kaise.

GHAZAL : ZAIDI JAFAR RAZA

Pyaar ki sham'en jalaao, roshni ho jaayegi

Maan lo barham fizaao , roshni ho jaayegi

Zebe-tan kar lo libase-Masnavi-e-Room ko

Ai mere dil ki sadaao roshni ho jaayegi
Tang ho zulm-o-sitam se, phir khmoshi kisliye ?
Haq ki aawazen uthaao, roshni ho jaayegi
Gham ka rishta zindagi ke saath gahra hai bahot
Gham men khul kar muskuraao, roshni ho jaayegi
Is jahaan men dushmanon ke beech jeena seekh lo
Apni duniya khud banaao , roshni ho jaayegi
Maslehat ko waqt ki samjho, milo akhlaaq se,
Talkhiyaan lab par na laao, roshni ho jaayegi
Ye mazahib ke jawan bazaar hain misl-e-saraab
Inke fatwon par na jaao , roshni ho jaayegi
Zulmaton se pur, khizaan-aalood mausam ke khilaaf
Koyi deepak raag gaao , roshni ho jaayegi
