mehfil

na jane kyun khinch le jate hai log
shahar ki aur.
kehte hai, aa baith meri mehfil mein,
dekh in diwaron pe
un tasviron ko,
aur pehchaan unme mujhko zara.

kucch der, tak-ke tasviron ko
yeh soch mein dub jata hai man mera,
kya auro ke rango se
likhi jati hai, apne jiwan ki katha.

Ghriho-probesh

Achchha, aaj sudhu sudhu
Mon keno tomar kotha bhabche?
Keno aaj chobir moton
Chokhe bheshe ashchhe tomar chhaya.
Sriti te harano naam
Bar bar dhe-u-er moton
Uthe ashche mukher goraye?
Oh! Aaj tor shoto botsor hoye che.
Tayee aabar ekbar
Tor joy joy kare
Nebe poreche shob rasta-ye.
She-I poth harano, drishti hara bhokto.
Geye chole-che tor gun gaan
Jeno unmat atama
Proshonno hoye niye tule che
Aar ekbar hridoye.
Aami o to pagoler moton
Chutilam tahader pichu.
Kintu, e kon pothe
Tumi haath dhore tene niye ele bondhu?
Ekhane to tomar namer
Prodip jolche na!
Roshni ta hole ki kore hobe?
Hothat mukh tipe hashcho je?
Andhokar eyi botobrikher niche
Moddho ratre eyne thatta kocho bujhi?
Ye, amar chokkhu nidrar bhare
Jeno juriye elo
Eiyi alo! Kothaye eyi alo
Lal, nil, holud, shobuj
Na na ronge tim tim
Tarar moton.
Tobe rong bodla chho je.
Eki, e to shob ogroshor
Holo eki dike.
Oiyi dekho, shob rong miliye
Shunnotar moton kalo hoye phut-lo
Bujhlam, eyi shada ar kalo, ek.
Er milone ache aro koto rong
Tumi bujhi eyi shoto botsor
Soto jug dhore rong niye chhol kor cho?
Dekho, oyi tomar das
Toma-ke shara dilo.
Na, mati ta ke lal rong korlo
Shib dhhuye, kochi shobuj pata chire
Nil jole shob bhashiye
Holud rong-er moton
pulokito ahom kore
tomar sheyi chotto ghorer
bahire pahara dicche.
Achchha, ekhon chol.
Abar giye oyi rong-er
Mishron-ne shada-kalo kaalir
Khela kori.
Aashi. Abar ek jonmer
Bidayi niye nijo grihe
Ghriho-probesh kori

RANDOMS



Jiwan ke safar mein
Rehguzar kitne mile.
Zingdani tham si gayee.
Umr guzar te liye.
Is khwayeesh mein ki
Aashiyan hamara bhi hoga,
Khwabon ki mehfil mein
Hum, duniya basa liye.

----------------------------------------------------

Zindagi tujhse shikayat nahi hai
Khuda-i-bandagi ijazaat nahi hai
Ruh ko dharma ke emaan se na band
Aap hi se pehle janaat nahi hai.

-------------------------------------------------------


Hum hi se pehle
Hum hi ke baad
Zindagi aur haansi lagiti hai.
Duniya se aage
Aansman ke paar
Ek umr aur baaki lagti hai 
15/ 11/ 06

---------------------------------------------------------------


Umr guzri yun tanha
Zindagi ki band dayaanron mein
Shehar sara virana mila
Khud ko jo dhunda galiyaron mein
Aap rote, kabr pe aapne
Baitth virah, tanhanyion mein
Jaan sake na koye man ko bhed
Ruh paya jo rihayee mein

Woh nahi hai hum,
jo rahe lakiro pe chalte hai.
Hum aam insaan hai bande,

In guzarte waqt ke pan-nno mein
Jo dhunda apni kahani
Paya ke kore kagaaz pe
Do bund gira tha paani.
Siha-yi se likhe the jo afsaane
Kuch dhul se gaye the yaado se
Jo kaid tha man ke bhitar
N(a) ho saka ban-yaan alfazon mein.
Hisaab rakha tha jo sanjhon ke
Kho gaya dard ki gehrai-yon mein
Zameen se jo uthe naye daur mein
Gum se rahe roshan rahon pe
Koi lauta de who aan, ye sun zara
Dekha tha jo bite zamaane mein.


-----------------------------------------------------


Lauta de, ye waqt, wo guzra zamana
Diwaron ko chuti haathon mein churiyon ka khanak-na
Bhagte kadmon mein, payal ki cham-cham
Aag si tapti do premiyon ka Milan.
Wo thandak, barish ki pehli bundon ka
Woh kushbu, phagun ke phulon sa
Sarsarahat, pat-jhar ke patton ka
Sangeet si gunj-ti pha-wa-ron ki khanak.
Us roshni mein nahayee chandni raat ka
Ek jhalak lauta de meri yaadon se.
Guzar ja ye shaam, ek aur baar
Mere dayaaron se.
Beth mere paas, kar de yeh ehsaa(n)
Phir likh ja aakhri lafz
Tere mere afsaane ke.


-----------------------------------------------------------------


Ek khwab dekha ese
zindaagi simat gayee
jo neend se jage
tamam umr guzar gayee

Khubsurat ek kavita ki tarha,
suna gaya jo khhud hi samajh na saka;
Sunaye apni katha jahan,
milte nahi hai shabd wahan!

sang beith khudse jo karne lagein guftagu,
shabd aur khayal mein faasla na raha;
lekin kyun terii mehfil mein bande

Ruh ko nahin hai bandish.
Yeh awara musafir hai.
Har pal milti-badlti hai jiski manzil.

Kuchh wo kahe
