mushkilon mein muskuraanaa sikhiye — Neeraj Goswami

tum se mil kar der talak
achchhi lagti tanhaai

hai jin ke baazuon mein dam vo dariyaa paar kar leinge
bahut mumkin hai Dubein vo jo baiThe hain safine mein

mujhe raas viraaniyaan aa gai hain
tiri yaad bhi ab sataati nahin hai

ghuTan taDpan udaasi ashk rusvaai akelaa-pan
baghair in ke adhuri ishq ki har ik kahaani hai

sochtaa huun ye soch kar main use
vo bhi aise hi sochtaa hai mujhe

ajab ye daur aayaa hai ki jis mein
ghalat kuchh bhi nahin sab kuchh sahi hai

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa

na mohtasib ki khushaamad na mai-kade kaa tavaaf
khudi mein mast huun apni bahaar mein gum huun

iid hai ham ne bhi jaanaa ki na hoti gar iid
mai-farosh aaj dar-e-mai-kada kyuun vaa kartaa

hamein bhi jalva-gaah-e-naaz tak lete chalo muusaa
tumhein ghash aa gayaa to husn-e-jaanaan kaun dekhegaa
