A picture down the memory lane

THEATRE DAYS IN A.M.U.1988

the memories which are saved in my "HEART DISC "

After participating in All India Drama competetion from Pathankot (punjab), when we came back to Aligarh.

UMMEED

UMMEED
(PUBLISHED IN A.M.U.DIRECTORY DUBAI,2009)

diye ummeed ke phir bhi jalaye rakhiye
dosti ghar na sahi rishta banaye rakhiye

purane zakhmon ko to tum bhoolne se rahe
naye wadoN pe bharosa banaye rakhiye

baahar darwaze pe dhoop sisakti na rahe
ghar ki deewar pe dareeche banaye rakhiye

safar mein jaane ka saman to tum bandh chale
apni palkon pe maa ki du'ayen rakhiye

mujhe azal se ta-abad tak tumhari zaroorat hai
meri umr ko apne saath milaye rakhiye

mein door hoon tumse ye saza kaafi hai
wapas aane ke imqaan banaye rakhiye

mera andaaz-e-bayan sirf mera apna hai
apni tahreer ko khud se milaye rakhiye

itna masroof na kar khuda koi milne na paye
soone ghar mein kuch mehmaan bulaye rakhiye

A nazm on Switzerland

SARZAMEENE SWISS

Sarzameen-e-swiss tu khoobsurat kis qadar hai...

Barf se safed kuhsaar, chaaNdi ki deewareiN
heiN jinki qadam-bos nahr-e-Geneva ki lehreiN

JUNGFRAU jahaN europe ki chhat hai
TITLES ki pahaaDi bhi sharte shuja'at hai

WaadiyoN ki umak roohfarsaa hai jahaN
abr-paare se qishte barf purfashaN hai jahaN

INTERLAKEN ki khamoshi meiN suqooN barpaa hai
shor nahiN jismeiN har sadaa ham nawa hai

Barf-aagi zameen,qisht-e-barf raheiN,aasmaN barf sa
sab safed-o-shaffaq hai maaN ke aanchal saa

Shar-e-BAHNHOFF Zuric ki jaan hai
a shahar-e-nigaNra tu koi aur jahaN hai

dhoop,hawa,bahareiN sab rang-o-noor fishani
LUCERN ke ooNche pahaD heiN kahkashaN ki peshani

Lagzishe barish se barhaa bhigti saDkeiN
Zere aab aqs aankhoN se niharti palkeiN

beparwah barf hare peDoN meiN atak jaati hai
aabo taab se apne safed phool se ban jaati hai

PhooloN ki qataaroN se khushbuyoN ke raste heiN
ye rang fishaN jaise muskra ke chalte heiN

AabsharoN meiN jiske mosiqi ka safar hai
Ye khoobrooN nazare koi andaze sukhanwar hai

Sarzameen-e-swiss tu khoob kis qadar hai.


Shahar-e-nigaNra--mahbooba ka shahar

qafas ki zanzeeroN pe ghuroor aa gaya kaise

QAFAS KI ZANZEERON PE GHUROOR AA GAYA KAISE

pahla sher un kaanton ki nazr jihne murjhane ka khauph nahi hota,lekin jab phool nahi rahte to kaante akelapan mahsoos karte hein

Zahe naseeb tumhein murjhane ka khauf na tha
bahar aayee to rang-e-noor aa gaya kaise?
khiza aayee to ahsaas hua kaanton ko
saath rahne ka sha'oor aa gaya kaise

khuda sirf tera karam hai ki mein manzil pe hoon
mein ghareeb tha to phir itne door aa gaya kaise?

maaf kar di zamane ne khatayen meri
rahamdili pe ye dil maghroor aa gaya kaise

tumne hi to kuchh pahle tark-e-ta'aalluk kiye
bebafai ka mujh par kusoor aa gaya kaise

us aphlaak-nashin ko muhabbat bhi rahi hogi
mere ghareeb dastarkhan pe zaroor aa gaya kaise

khuda tu bada wasee hai,ham sab ka rahim hai
mein yateem kahan hun ye tasawwur aa gaya kaise

ye tera hi karam hai,khalifa-e-arab mein kya dam hai
weeran shab-o-arab mein noor aa gaya kaise

ki teri paayal ke tasawwur ne aasaan kar diya
mujhe qafas ki zanzeeron pe ghuroor aa gaya kaise

khwaboN ko khwab rahne do

Khwabon ko khwab kuch aur rahne do

Inamon pe naqab Kuch aur rahne do

Ye saza mere gunahon ke liye kaafi nahin

Thode din ye azab kuch aur rahne do

Tumne teer talwaron se ladke bhi dekh liya

Ab mohabbat ka intakhab kuch aur rahne do

Is sarzameen ke tukde to tum barha kar chuke

asmaano pe mehtaab kuch aur rahne do

Hamne aashiyane banaye kuch nasheman bhi toote

us jungle ko sabz-o-shadab kuch aur rahne do

itni jaldi-jaldi tum mujhse mila naa karo

is dil ko yun betaab kuch aur rahne do

Saare safe bhi uske tum pad lena phir kabhi

band raz-e-dil ki ye kitab kuch aur rahne do

maana ki mere ghar mein namaazein kam ada hu'een

mere chhat ki ye mehrab kuch aur rahne do

Andhere ho gaya to parchhai sath chod degi

mere saaye ko aftaab kuch aur rahne do

Phool tod liye magar ab bhi hai baqi

chaman mein khushboo-e-gulab kuch rahne do

tamam dariya aakhir mein samandar se milne hain

baha lo nafraton ka sailab kuch aur rahne do

beparda chehre pe haya aa hi nahin sakti

bandh aankho pe hijab kuch aur rahne do

mere kamzor haathon ko taqat nahin na sahi

Hai in aankhon mein inqalab kuch aur rahne do.

Bas gaye jumle tere is ahsaas ki tarah

tere khatoN ne raatoN ko kahkashaN banaya
tareekiyoN se beparwah,beniyaaz ki tarah

Meri muflisi ko meri saltanat bana diya
saf-e-qirtas pe likhke ek sartaaj ki tarah

meiN tum saath hoNge,ye khat akele ho jayeNge.

Ghar ke aaNgan meiN bachchoN ko ghutan hone lagi hai

Subah ka warq palta,sham tehreer hu'ee hai
raat phir shabnam se apne daaman dhone lagi hai

ik kiran dareeche se subah subah aayee hai

tum khud ko khatm karke mujhko maar daaloge
kuchh begunahoN ki umr kam daf-atan hone lagi hai

kya kareNge shia-sunni aur firqa-parasti
ishq aur insaan meiN lagan hone lagi hai

tum mujhse na milo,kuchh aur theHar jaa'o
nazm mere intzar ki,apna wazan khone lagi hai

meri taraqqee teri du'aaoN ki muhtaj rahee

du'aaoN se maaN ki waqt-e-zawal eise guzra

tere aansuoN ki qeemat ada meiN hi karoonga

khwahish-e-gham ka har malaal eise guzra

EK KHWAB .............AUR MERE WALIDAIN



ye nazm meiNe 2 saal pehle likhi thi. ye mere waliden ke bare meiN hai jo ab is duniya meiN nahiN heiN.

ek din meiNe apne walideiN ko khwab meiN dekha, donoN ko sath khwab meiN dekha, ek alag si khushi hu'ee. bahut dhundhlate alam meiN meiN unheiN pahchan nahiN paa raha, dheere-dheere unke chehre mujhe saaf nazar aane lagte heiN. dono hanste hu'e nazar aate heiN.

ittfaq ye hua ki agle din phir wo khwab dekha. phir donoN mujhe dekh kar hanste nazar aate heiN.

teesre din meiN waqt se pehle jaldi so gaya unheiN phir se khwab meiN dekhne ke liye...sote jaagte subah ho gayee wo khwab meiN nahiN aaye aur meiN betha khala meiN sochta raha, tab ye tehreer hu'ee.

DAHSHATGHARD

Dahshatgardon ne sirf satrah(17) hi gine

insaniyat ke tukde hamne usse zyada chune

Yaro bom chalane ki zaroorat kya hai

ghurbat se aadmi pahle hi mar gaya hai

Tum qatil ho badi himmat ki hai

qatl karke tumne zimmedari li hai

bana rahe ho jis ghar mein qatl ka mansooba

kya maloom yeh ghar koi bom le dooba

Beghar karke hazaron ko yeh naa bhulo

panahgheer tum bhi rahte ho ye na bhulo

Teer chalane se pahle ye jaan liya karo

Khuda ke kamaan mein zyada hein jaan liya karo

Kaun si duniya mein rahte ho kya majboori hai

bair kya hai, insaniyat se kya doori hai

kya yeh mumkin hai doori ko hataya jaaye

apne hi aas paas koi pul banaya jaye.

Abrar Ulhaq.

andaz apna rakhna khushbayani ki tarah

khushboo mehkegi raat ki raani ki tarah
tum aa'ogi mausam-e-gul fishani ki tarah

tera zikr tere baad sab log kareNge
rahti ho tum hawa'aoN meiN ek kahani ki tarah

kyuN intzar ki khoo tumne chhoD di
usul-e-mohabbat ki nafarmani ki tarah

mujhe qatl karke tumne apna naam likh diya
dahshadgardi ki phir kisi nishani ki tarah

eitmaad pyar ka aham sutooN hai
ye baat hifz rakhna ek rawani ki tarah

dostoN se apne ummedeiN kyuN rakhoo
apni dosti pe iza-rasani ki tarah

khud gunah karke doosroN pe sholabar ho
karoge yaad to pa'aoge khana-e-weerani ki tarah

saafgoi bhi teri talkh na ho kahiN
andaz apna rakhna khush-bayani ki tarah
