302: SHIQURDU: चिराग

 

 

191

चिराग सी फितरत रखो,

जलकर भी रौशनी ही लूटाओ.

चिराग सी तबीयत रखो,

जहाँ रहो वहीं रौशनी लुटाओ

 

 

192

मंजिल दूर हो तो चलते रहो

अँधेरा हो तो चिराग की तरह जलते रहो

 

 

193

निगाहों में मंजिल थी

गिरे और गिर कर संभलते रहे,

हवाओं ने बहुत कोशिश की

मगर चिराग आँधियों में भी जलते रहे

 

 

194

कई  दुआओं से  मंजिले सकूं  मिलता  है,

खुदा के नूर से आँधियों में भी चिराग जलता है

 

 

195

अंधेरों से लड़ने का हुनर इतना भी आसान नहीं,

खुद को जलाना पड़ता है चिराग होने के लिए…

 

 

196

हम सब तो चिराग हैं उसके आशियाने के,

कभी ना कभी तो बुझ जाएंगे,

आज शिकायत है झिन्हे हमारे उजाले से,

कल अँधेरे में बहुत याद आएंगे

 

197

हो गर इबादत कोई तो सिर झुका लेना चाहिए,

रूठा हो कोई अपना गर तो मना लेना चाहिए,

नफ़रत की आंधियाँ चलती रहती है हर पल यहाँ

रिश्तों के चिरागों को हवाओं से बचा लेना चाहिए

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd-sounding name felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., Hindi and English). Although in some cases the language has been simplified attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep-meaning messages.
