किस्मत

मेरी किस्मत में जन्नत न थी,
पर ख्वाहिश भी किसे थी,
जिसे मैंने चाहा था,
वो ही मुझे न मिली|

बाग़ में जो फूल थे,
वो मुझे नापसंद थे,
मैंने जिस कली को सीचा था,
वो ही कली न खिली|

मेरी ख़ता|||

मेरी ख़ता बस इतनी रही,
सुबह को मैंने शाम कहा,
और तेरी ख़ता ये थी कि,
तूने मेरे प्यार आम कहा|

शहर भर में खबर थी,
चर्चे थे मेरे प्यार के,
तेरी राह देखते देखते,
मैं ताउम्र बदनाम रहा|

MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE BODY

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in our life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."
She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one . It is sympathetic to the pain of others. People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

माहौल.....

माहौल इतना व्यस्त है,
जिधर देखो हर कोई त्रस्त है,
संवरे तो ज़िन्दगी,
बिगडे तो याद आती खुदा की बंदगी,
इन्सान अपने में खोया है इतना,
कि भगवान् भी याद नही आता है,
कमज़ोर हो चुकी है नज़र इतनी,
कि अपना भी पराया नज़र आता है,

न रस्म है न रिवाज़ है....

न रस्म है न रिवाज़ है,
ये तो प्यार की आवाज़ है,
न ही बड़ा बोल है,
न ही शरबत का घोल है,
फिर भी तुझमे मुझमे एक अजीब सी मिठास है,
शब्द और नही मेरे पास,
श्रुति तो एक संज्ञा है,
ये तुम्हारी तारीफ़ में,
मेरे प्यार भरे अल्फाज़ है.

ऐ खुदा

ग़म नही इस बात का,
कि मुझे मंज़िल न मिली,
पर खुशी है इस बात की,
कि ऐ खुदा तू हर पल मेरे साथ रहा.

Meri Apni Kahee

परिंदे है परिंदों से क्या शिकायत कीजिये,
वो तो अरमान लिए घूमते है,
उन्हें उड़ने का मौका तो दीजिये।
