Shwait-Shyam (Black and White)


Charitra ke nirmaan main charitra na badla karo

Shwait rangon main shyam mat ghola karo
Shwait to swakhshta ka prateek hai
Shyam Krishn ki chanchalta ka swaroop
Donon nakshatra hain ambar main vibhushit
Tum jeevan main shwait-shyam mat dhoondha karo


Sach


Sach batana hi tha to sach chipate kyon ho

Mohabbat hai agar jhuti to sir katate kyun ho

Hai raz-e-mohabbat gar dil pe itna bhari
to nau-javaani main dil lagate kyon ho

Tum nahin chahte ki ho voh rusvaa
yeh rasm-e-duniyaa nibhate kyon ho

Intezaar ka har pal hai kis qadar mushkil
Yun apne dil ko satate kyun ho


Khabar (News)

Khabar de koi mujhe kyonkar
Khabar ati nahin yahan kyonkar

Koi ata hai dil lagane ke liye
Koi jata hai dil chura ke kyonkar

Tum aj bhi is tarah se muskrate ho
Dard-e-dil ho bhala bayaan kyonkar

Hue hum unse yun vabasta
Ab duniya ki ho khabar kyonkar


Chiraag

Ek chirag chat pe tum jala dena
mere baad unko mera pata dena

voh jo poochein, kon rehta tha yahan
tha koi deewana bas itna bata dena

ek shama ban gaya hun intezaar main
thak gaya jalte jalte, mujho bujha dena

Hun usi ummeed main bechain main
Koi udhar ki khabar to dena

Ab koi ahat bhi nahin ati hai
aise veeraan se mujhko hata dena

Ek Naya Deepak

aye deep kisi kone main chamakta kyun hai?
bujh ja varna dhoka ho jayega

andhkaaar si adat si lag gayi hai hamein
ummeed ban ke roshan hota kyun hai

lab pe ati thi dua banke tamanna kyunkar
zindgai shama ki soorat bhala kyun hai

har taraf dukh aur maut ka sannata hai
voh kyun ek naya deep jalata kyun hai

andhkaar: darkness; dua: prayer ; shama:light

Kon Jalayega Shama


Zindagi main fursat nahin shama jalane ke liye

Koun ayega mujhe phir bachane ke liye

Qaid main jumbish ho to phir kyon kar ho
Sir barahna phir raha hun sir uthane ke liye

Sharm ahista se meri rooh main sama ayi hai
Ab mout bhi mayassar nahin sir chipane ke liye

Waqt ka ek mujahid hai abhi gumnaam
sare raah kyun para hai sir katane ke liye

Hue jo rusva har dar pe har koshishon ke baad
phir a gaye tere dar pe sir jhukane ke liye



jumbish: flexibility; mujahid: fighter; mout: death; mayassar: readily available
