सुकून-ए-जिंदगी

ख्वाहिशों को कुछ कम किया मैंने और खुशी खरीद ली

शौक-ए-जिन्दगी  कुछ कम किये, और सुकून-ए-जिंदगी खरीद ली

 

 

162

मैं न कोई मसीहा, न कोई रहनुमा हूँ,

मैं अपनी ही मंज़िल हूँ. मैं अपना ही रास्ता हूँ

मैं अपना ही मुकद्दर हूँ.. मैं अपना ही खुदा हूँ

 

 

163

पूछा मैंने खुदा से,

अंदर मेरे ये कैसा शोर है,

हंस कर खुदा बोला, 

 रूह को संभालना था तुझे,

पर सूरत सँवारने पर तेरा जोर है

 

 

164

हसरतें कुछ और है

वक्त की इल्तजा कुछ और है,

दिल चाहता कुछ और है होता कुछ और है

 

 

165

थोड़ा सोचूं फिर एक बात लिखू,

बता आज कौनसी बात लिखू..

तारीफ लिखू या फ़रियाद लिखू..

जज्बात लिखू या हालात लिखू..

राहे उल्फत में तन्हा सा इक राज़ हूँ मैं

कभी खामोश तो कभी अनगिनत अल्फाज़ हूँ मैं

 

 

157

पूछा मैंने खुदा से,

अंदर मेरे ये कैसा शोर है,

हंस कर खुदा बोला,

चाहतें तेरी कुछ और थी, 

पर तेरा रास्ता कुछ और है

 

 

158

अच्छा है चुप रहना सीख

लेकिन सच भी कहना सीख

हार जीत सब बेमानी है

गिर-गिर उठते रहना सीख

 

 

159

मैं आज ‘मैं होना चाहता हूँ

बिन सफ़र, बिन मंज़िलों का एक रास्ता होना चाहता हूँ

 

 

160

मैं न कोई मसीहा, न कोई रहनुमा हूँ,

मैं अपनी ही  आग हूँ.. मैं अपना ही धुआं हूँ

मैं अपना ही समंदर हूँ.. मैं अपना ही तूफां हूँ
