☆ Betrayal ☆

हिसाब में कच्चा होना भी

बड़ा दगा दे गया मुझे,

उसने मुझे ज़रा सा चाहा पर मैंने

खुद को पूरा दे दिया उसे…!

☆☆

Weakness in calculations

too betrayed me a lot…

She loved me a bit, but I gave

myself completely to her….!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Life ☆

आप आए ज़िंदगी में, कुछ देर

ठहरे और फिर रवाना हो गए,

ज़िंदगी भी क्या है मुसाफिरों का

एक चंदरोज़ा ठिकाना ही तो है…

☆☆

You came into life, stayed

for a while and then left,

What’s life afterall, it’s only

a sojourn for the travelers…!

☆ Introspection ☆

 निकले हैं वो लोग मेरी

शख्सियत बिगाड़ने,

किरदार खुद के जिनके

मरम्मत मांग रहे हैं…!

☆☆

Those people are trying

to spoil my character…

Whose personality itself

needs desperate repairs…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Recovery ☆

 तफ़सील से तफतीश हुई

जब मेरी  गुमशुदगी की,

टुकड़े-टुकड़े में बरामद

हुआ मैं उनके ख़्यालों में…!

☆☆ 

When my disappearance

was investigated in detail,

I was recovered in bits and

pieces in her thoughts…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Gratefulness ☆

जरा सा हट के चलता हूँ

जमाने की तमाम रिवायतों से,

जिन पे कभी बोझ डाला हो उन

कंधो का हमेशा शुक्रगुजार रहता हूँ…

 ☆☆

 I walk a little bit away from

the traditions of the world,

I’m indebted to the shoulders

which carried my burden.

☆☆☆☆☆

 तुम ही तुम दिखते हो हमेशा

हमें हुआ तो कुछ ज़रूर है,

क्या ये आईने की भूल है या

फिर मेरी नज़र का कसूर है…

☆☆

Something must’ve happened,

you only are seen to me,

Is it the fault of the mirror

or the defect of my eyes…!

☆ Sound Sleep ☆

सो जाते हैं फुटपाथ पर

एक अखबार बिछकर…

क्या देखा है कभी किसी मजदूर

को नींद की गोली खाते…!

☆ ☆

They fall asleep by spreading

a newspaper on the pavement,

Have you ever seen any labourer

taking any pills to sleep…?

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Murderous Shores ☆

ताउम्र सीखते रहे हम

लहरों से लड़ने का हुनर,

पर हमे कहाँ पता था कि

किनारे भी कातिल निकलेंगे…!

☆ ☆

All our life we kept learning the

skills of fighting the waves,

But never knew that the shores

Would also be the assassin…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ New Wounds ☆

काफी दिनों से कोई

नया जख्म नहीं मिला…

अरे, जरा पता तो करो

सारे “अपने” हैं कहाँ?

☆ ☆

No new wounds have been

caused for a long time…

Try finding out, where have

all the “own” people gone?

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Strange Anguish ☆

चाँद आज भी शबाब पर है

चाँदनी भी ग़ज़ब की है

लेकिन आज भी बिन तेरे

दिल में कसक अजब सी है…!

☆ ☆ 

Even the moon is in its full bloom

Even moonlight is also awesome,

But even today there’s a strange

anguish in my heart without you…!

☆ Friendship ☆

बेपरवाह वक्त तो चलता रहा,

पर जिंदगी सिमटती गई

दोस्त तो तमाम बढ़ते गए,

पर दोस्ती घटती गई… !

☆☆ 

Unheeding time kept on moving

But the life kept shrinking…

Though friends kept on increasing,

But friendship kept decreasing.

☆☆☆☆☆

बस निभाने वाले ही तो

नहीं मिलते हैं, साहब,

चाहने वाले तो हर

एक मोड पर खड़े हैं…!

☆☆

Those who can fulfill promises

are just not found, Sire…

While adorers are waiting at

every nook and corner…!

☆☆☆☆☆

इन संगदिल चलते-फिरते बुतों  को

भला क्यों कर कोई इंसान माने

इंसान तो वो ही कहलाता है

जिसके जिस्म में एक जिंदा रूह हो…!

☆☆  

Why must these heartless statues

be considered as human beings,

They only deserve to be humans,

Who’ve a live soul in their body…!

☆ Footprints ☆

अरे नादान, नक्शा-ए-कदम

किधर ढूँढता है तू…

जब तक चलेगा नहीं तब तक तेरे

कदमों के निशान बनेंगे कैसे…!

☆☆

O’ dimwit! What imprints of

your steps you’re looking for

Unless you begin to walk,

how will footprints be made…!

☆☆☆☆☆

हमने ऐसी भी क्या खता कर दी,

जो काबिले माफी नहीं…

तुम्हें देखा नहीं कितने दिनों से,

क्या ये सजा काफी नहीं…

☆☆

What mistake have I committed

That is not firgivable…

Haven’t seen you for so many days,

isn’t this punishment enough…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Effulgent Soul ☆

सोचो तो तमाम सिलवटों

से भरी है रूह,

देखो तो एक शिकन भी

नहीं है लिबास में …

☆☆

One may envisage that

soul is full of crumples

When envisioned, there’s not

even a wrinkle on attire…

☆☆☆☆☆

हो सकता है हमारे जैसे

हजारों मिल जाएँ तुम्हें

पर अफसोस अब तुम्हें

हम कभी नहीं मिलेंगे…!

☆☆

May be you will find

thousands like me…

But alas! You shall

never find me again…!

☆ Walk Alone ☆

सच कहने का अगर

इतना शौक है,

तो तन्हा चलने का भी

हौसला रखना…!

☆☆

If you are so fond of

telling the truth,

Then, have the courage

to walk all alone…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

मेरी इक ज़िंदगी के कितने

हिस्सेदार  हैं  मगर,

किसी की  जिंदगी  में  मेरा

हिस्सा  क्यूँ  नहीं  होता…

☆

हमारे लिए तो इस दुनिया

में खास वो ही लोग हैं….

जो वक्त आने पर अपना

कीमती वक्त दिया करते हैं..!

☆☆

There are umpteen

sharers of my life,

But I dont have any claim

in someone else’s life…!

☆

For me those people   only

reside in my heart…

Who give their precious time

when the time comes..!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Sleepless Soul ☆

☆ 

तमन्नायें यूंही मचलती रहीं

रातें आँखों में ढलती रहीं,

जिस्म को तो नींद आती रही मगर

रूह करवट बदलती रही

☆☆ 

Yearnings kept on lingering but the

nights kept on passing in the eyes,

Body always fell asleep but the

sleepless soul kept tossing itself…!

खामोशी का मजा..

वो ही उठा सकते हैं,

जो फना हुआ हो…

किसी की मोहब्बत में..

☆☆

They can only enjoy

the fun of silence…

Who have sacrificed their

life in someone’s love…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

रूह पर “मैं” का दाग़

आ जाता है जब…

दिलों  में  “दिमाग़”

आ जाता  है  तब…!

☆☆

When the stain of “I” 

comes on the soul…

Then the “mind” takes

birth in the hearts…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Wandering Wind ☆

ये हवा यूं ही ख़ाक छानती

फिरती है यहाँ ,

या इसकी भी कोई चीज़

खो गई है यहाँ…!

☆☆

The wind just wanders

around here aimlessly…

Or it, too, has lost

something around here…!

☆☆☆☆☆

इक शमा की मानिंद खुद को

जलाता हूँ हर रोज,

बुझ तो जाऊँगा मगर तमाम 

ज़िंदगी रौशन कर जाऊँगा..!

☆☆

I keep burning the life

like a candle everyday,

I’ll be extinguished for  sure

but will light up many lives..!

ऐ पूछने वाले, तेरा

तहे दिल से शुक्रिया,

दर्द तो अब भी बाकी है,

मगर पहले से कम…!

☆☆ 

O’ asker, thank you from

the bottom of my heart…

Though the pain is still there,

but much less than before…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆☆ Just couldn’t care less… ☆☆

मैं थक गया था बेवजह लोगों

की परवाह करते करते,

जब से बेखबर हुआ हूँ सबसे,

तमाम सुकून है अब जिंदगी में…!

☆☆ 

I was unnecessarily tired of

caring too much for the people…

Ever since became unmindful of them,

peace has descended in my life…!

☆☆☆☆☆

खो  गई  है  यहाँ..!

☆☆☆☆☆

अभी तो ये रौशनी सिर्फ

दो कदम  ही  गई  थी…

पर ना जाने किसकी नज़र

दीये  को  लग  गई ..!

☆☆

Light has not even started

dispelling the darkness

Someone has cast his

evil eye on the lamp…!

इत्तफाकन  कुछ  यूं  हुआ  कि  

जब  भी  जरूरत  पड़ी  मुझे,

आदतन  हर  शख्स  को  मजबूर

या  मसरूफ  ही  पाया  मैंने..!

☆☆

Is it just a coincidence that whenever  

I was in dire need of help

Perpetually, found every person

either helpless or too busy…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

छप के बिका करते थे, 

जो  अख़बार  कभी…

सुना  है  इन  दिनों  वो

बिक के छपा करते हैं…

☆☆

Newspapers, those once

used to sell after printing,

I have heard that these days

they print after selling…

☆☆☆☆☆

बहुत कुछ बदल जाता है

ढलती  उम्र  के  साथ,

पहले हम जिद्द किया करते थे

अब  समझौते  करते  हैं..

☆☆

Many a thing keep changing

with the passage of time,

Earlier we used to stubbornly insist,

Now we simply compromise…

☆☆☆☆☆

तुमको याद कर लूँ तो मिल जाती

है हर दर्द से राहत,

लोग बेवजह ही शोर मचाते हैं

कि दवाइयाँ महंगी हैं…!

☆☆

I’m relieved of every pain

whenever I remember you

People unnecessarily complain

that medicines are expensive…!
