ghar mein vahi piili tanhaai rahti hai — Vikas Sharma Raaz

muddatein ho gaiin hisaab kiye
kyaa pataa kitne rah gae hain ham

iraada to nahin hai khud-kushi kaa
magar main zindagi se khush nahin huun

dekhnaa chaahtaa huun gum ho kar
kyaa koi DhunD ke laataa hai mujhe

jise dekho ghazal pahne hue hai
bahut sastaa ye zevar gayaa hai

asar hai ye hamaari dastakon kaa
jahaan divaar thi dar ho gayaa hai

mujh ko aksar udaas karti hai
ek tasvir muskuraati hui

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
